One Tree Hill SA 5114

32.56ha (80.45 acres). Character laden old farmhouse providing approximately 32 squares of diverse living options. Grazing lands, pockets of natural beauty and large dam all in such a convenient location.
LAND: 32.56ha (80.45 acres). Just a short drive up the hill from the suburbs and prior to reaching the township of One Tree Hill, is this generously sized recreational lifestyle holding. From the bitumen road, the driveway separates the front paddocks which are predominantly gently undulating, grazing paddocks, dotted with gums and a winter watercourse. Passing the first of two bores (one of which is equipped, the other near the dam is capped and unequipped), old fruit trees are a reminder of the productivity that this property would have provided in its heyday. Passing the home and heading further into the property, a vehicle track follows the valley that is central to the land. Either side of this valley the land rises in terrain to areas of vegetated land with rocky outcrops and sections that are more purposeful for grazing. The most fertile areas are those of the valley floor where the watercourse runs in an east / west direction. It is well worth a stroll along the track to the very good sized dam which holds over 2 mega litres. The large surface area of water attracts birdlife, including many ducks that enjoy this habitat. Other wildlife includes kangaroos who have shared the land with horses, sheep, alpacas and cattle over the years. The land, although not pristine and with some work needed, does provide fantastic opportunity to create a lifestyle of possibilities so close to metropolitan facilities.
RESIDENCE: Estimated to be built back in the 1860 s, Tyeeka House was one of the very early farm houses built in the district. Later extensions have seen the home increase in size to now stand approximately 32 squares of living over two levels. The main construction is stone with Western Red Cedar later incorporated into the building. An upgraded tin roof covers the home including the front and side verandahs. Inside, the layout is quite diverse, from the elegant and stylish formal dining room with its beautiful timber features, to the country orientated kitchen and multiple rooms that make this large old farmhouse so interesting and diverse.
