Baldina SA 5417

Vendor estimates a carrying capacity of 3500 DSE in normal seasons.
The property has been divided into 11 paddocks and at least 5 holding paddocks together with some fenced off areas enabling re-vegetation of native species.
The property has an extremely well laid out watering system that has been upgraded in recent years with mainly solar powered, submersible equipped bores to poly tanks and troughs around the property.
2 Dams and numerous winter watering holes supplement the watering system. Whilst not used by the current owners in recent time, there is a de-salination plant to supplement the water system around the homestead. It currently requires a new pump to be operational.
The main bore is powered by mains electricity and can pump to all tanks on the property ensuring a reliable back up to the other solar equipped bores.
A feature of the property is the 140 year old original 5 bedroom homestead which has been completely restored and extended with an impressive architecturally designed extension, sympathetically combining the old and the new in a typically Australian style. Mobile phone coverage is available over a majority of the property.
The property has mains electricity and enjoys air conditioning and ceiling fans in the main kitchen and living areas.
An unused all weather tennis court is adjacent to the homestead but some work is required to make it fully usable.
The property has been re-fenced in the past 10 years (excluding a small section) with the majority of the fences constructed of high tensile plain wire on pine and steel posts with steel swinging gates. The holding paddocks have been lined with station cyclone giving further security to the fences.
The unequipped 4 stand shearing shed runs on mains electricity and has an undercover capacity of around 500 woolly sheep when combined with an adjoining shed. The wool room has been extended and can comfortably hold 80 bales of wool undercover in the double garage adjoining. There is a good set of workable steel sheep yards with a new marking race and including a loading ramp.
There are a number of sundry sheds for vehicles and small plant and equipment all in good condition.
Surrounding the shearing shed/sheep complex are 5 holding paddocks which make for easy mustering and holding of sheep when shearing or lamb marking.
At strategic locations around the property are stands of old man saltbush which can be used for shelter of sheep post shearing or as living haystacks in tougher years. The benefits are obvious.
All in all, a superior property situated only 13.5km from Burra, around 30 minutes from Clare and approximately 170 km or 2 hours north of Adelaide.
This property was formerly run as a very successful B& B retreat that has featured prominently on such programmes as Getaway and Postcards.

To be offered by public auction in the Burra Sporting complex on Thursday July 20 at 2.00 pm. Unless sold prior.
