Last Listing description (October 2021)
There are so many wonderful places on Kangaroo Island, but amongst them all, none more scenic that the Island's majestic 'North Coast'.
Located on Barker Road, in the scenically attractive Middle River region, this rural property sits only 14 kilometers from the spectacular beach of Western River Cove, or 13km from Snellings Beach, the 1234 acre mixed use farming parcel offers a wonderful array of what makes Kangaroo Island special.
Currently the property is primarily used for livestock grazing and some cropping on approximately 800 acres of the total acreage, with the balance being native vegetation & creek lines.
The property has been held long term by the current Vendor, who is now looking to retire.
