Capturing the hearts of three generations of the one family, Watergate is a once-in-a-lifetime Adelaide Hills holding where history, natural beauty and productivity converge on 117 remarkable acres. From humble 1850s farmhouse to a substantial residence, the homestead carries genuine provenance and Australiana character, set within a landscape shaped by decades of working life. Twenty fully electric-fenced paddocks with quality pasture and stock water, extensive shedding, cattle yards, crush, hay sheds and legacy dairy infrastructure speak to its serious agricultural credentials, while two bores, a water licence with allocation, tanks, dam and the Angas River winding through the land underpin its vitality.
