Bull Creek SA 5157

Now the future beckons. It's now time for a new family to add their own slice of history to this desirable lifestyle property.
Located in a superb rural creek setting with mature trees and lawns, the existing stone home was built around the time of the 1914-18 war replacing the original settler's cottage. Whilst keeping its original character, it has been enlarged and improved since then with the addition of an architecturally matching wing' during the 1980's. Extensive decking was also added overlooking the tree-lined creek and holding paddocks.
The homestead has been well-maintained by the current owners over the years since then.
The age and history of this property are well reflected in the outbuildings dotted around the home. The hand cut native-timber framed old barn and dairy is a true testament to hardship and innovation of the early years. The original well has been restored.
The 84 acres consists mostly of gently sloping to steep open grazing land with shelter belts, as well as a pristine section of native stringy-bark forest in the high country to the western end, home to local wallabies, kangaroos and majestic wedge-tail eagles.
There are abundant water options with 2 dams (one spring fed), holding tanks for rainwater and dam water, an unequipped bore and, of course, the well.
Other important elements of this property include:
* Outstanding long distance views across the ranges to the southern lakes.
* Easy access to the Meadows township (7kms) or Ashbourne (8kms).
* Cosy combustion heating. Stanley stove with hot water assist plumbing.
* Workshop (3 phase power) with adjoining vehicle service ramp.
* 3 phase power available to other sheds and bore.
* Cattle press and loading ramp.
