Last Listing description (February 2019)
Nestled on the southern side of The Range, moments from the beautiful Willunga/McLaren wine region, and 40 minutes from Adelaide, is Glenrarid, a rare 35 ha (87 acres) of gently undulating land.
What does your heart desire? Virtually a blank canvas to pursue your passion - the property may lend itself to viticulture, tourism, diverse agriculture, equine, consulting, food manufacturing, retreat or further grazing.
Magpie Springs & K1 wineries are close by, with neighbouring properties including a sway of grape vines, livestock breeding and the former Amaroo Gardens (now a medical practice).
With extensive road frontage to both Bevan & Meadows Road (Brookman Road) exposure to passing vehicles, particularly on the weekends may be ideal for your venture.
Configured into some 9 paddocks of vibrant pastures, the current owners graze cattle/sheep and cut hay.
There is a water allocation permit of some 40,240 kl and a median area annual rainfall of about 715mm - over 28inches (measured Kuipto Forest - BOM).
There are several dams, one of which and a bore (currently non-functioning) being located towards the southern end of the property in the vicinity of the built forms.
Glenrarid, the original homestead, together with an above ground cool store and barn is believed to have been built in the early 1900s from stone, thought to have originated from the property. These structures are rustic and exude a charm, requiring some investment and imagination to return them to a habitable condition.
These structures, overlooking the large dam and surrounded by the original fruit and vegetable garden areas, sit is a slight wallow, which the owners of the past 20 years tell us, has the best climatic conditions for a house.
There is a large high roof commercial shed of some 645+m2 (about 27m x 24m) with concrete floor. An apron about 6m wide, running the full length of the shed, provides uncover protection for plant/equipment, raw or finished material. The main body of the shed being some 12m wide, with high ceilings and roller doors providing access to both sides. There are 2 separate enclosed areas, one of which the owners have previously set up as a large kitchen.
There are 3 other structures constructed of soft building material, including the Studio of some 163 m2, being the current primary residence; with the 2 other structures which may lend themselves to possibly guest/tourist accommodation, offices, retail, stores.
There is extensive perimeter and internal fencing, gates and stockyards in generally good condition.
Thinking more a private home or retreat, build a new home on one of the many perfect sites.
