An amazing and unique property providing diverse opportunities, combining lifestyle options, character living and commercial investment on 80 beautiful acres with township frontage.
 
LAND:
80 acres (approx.) This is an exceptional opportunity to secure a unique and diverse land holding, steeped in history, whilst now providing a multitude of purposes, including a rural living lifestyle along with commercial investment. Entry to the residential section of the property is gained from Glen Devon Road, with its driveway only 130m from the main street. The entrance is welcoming with mature ornamentals including Elm, Plane and Ash trees
framing the driveway. On the approach to the home, to the right, is the first of the paddocks used for hay production whilst, on the left, is the early stage of the River Torrens. Alternatively, take a stroll across the wide footbridge to the town centre where facilities include bakeries, hotel, general store, hospital, Primary School and more.

The gardens near the home are laden with character and, as they have a real English influence, it’s easy to imagine having tea and scones in the cottage gardens that feature the brick and stone fish pond, lawn and colourful shrubbery, all of which is a setting straight from a post card.

The majority of the land is beautiful, gently undulating, big red gum country suitable for most recreational and light farming pursuits. Currently running cattle, the property is fenced into 6 main paddocks. There are 4 dams for stock whilst the home is connected to town water which is supported by the rainwater supply.

Sections of the land have been utilised for hay production; this highlights its suitability for anyone with productive aspirations or simply enjoy this property from a relaxed recreational lifestyle. The property has almost 300m of main street frontage and contains many old stone buildings that are a part of the district’s history including the old butter factory, wagon shed and stables and flour mill. These stone works include the buildings and garden walls which have been recently and beautifully restored to enable the character of its rich past to combine with modern practically and usability. Currently leased (details can be made available) this main street section of the property provides a wonderful commercial investment within your own property.

RESIDENCE:
The original build of this Victorian Villa dates back 150 years. Over time, later extensions include the Neo Georgian façade so that now the home represents over 26 squares of living in flexible and interesting areas. Period features have been retained such as high skirtings, large ornate cornices, high ceilings and the open fire places which reflect the charm of this home. The design of the home allows for adaptability; whether it be for conventional family living, with the up to 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, or for specific uses of the light filled rooms which have their own external access points. This diversity allows for immediate usage such as consulting rooms, a light filled artist studio, additional living or guest accommodation / bed and breakfast (STCC). The open fire place in the formal lounge, where a ceiling rose is featured, is just one of four fireplaces. This room is perfect to recline and enjoy a glass of your favourite drop. The largest fireplace is the huge stone fireplace in the dining / family living area of the home, which is adjacent to the kitchen that has both a gas cooker along with a slow combustion cooker with a hot water jacket. The built-in pantry provides storage space. At the top of the stairwell, a truly individual feature is the pressed metal, barrel vault ceiling and arched window. From the floor to the top of the barrel vault ceiling is a distance of approximately 20 feet. The cedar wood, that has been obtained from the NSW art gallery, is the balustrade of the staircase that leads to the main bedroom, which is a very good size and includes a walk-through robe and a new ensuite bathroom with a huge shower recess. The centrally located main bathroom is also generously proportioned and has been modernised. The paved courtyard, where the old wood stove stands, connects the home to a 4 room building that comprises a flagstone floor, large laundry and utility room which has a timber ceiling and loft overhead. The two other rooms are currently used as a workshop and storage / cellar.
‘Comfortably timeless appeal with no pretensions to be fashionably chic’ are words the owner used to describe the home. Character laden, modern with comfortable touches, adaptability, uniqueness and most appealing are others.
 
IMPROVEMENTS:
With dimensions of 60’ x 30’ (18m x 9m) the large implement shed has water, power and a partial concrete floor. For undercover parking there is a double carport, with a stone floor, that forms part of a useful larger storage shed. Approximately 20,000 gallons of water is stored in a series of tanks, including the inground tank near the home.
 
OUTBUILDINGS:
An impressive suite of newly re-roofed stone buildings on the main street comprise the site of the Totness Mills which were established in 1862 and quickly grew to include a grain store, carrier’s yard and stabling. Later, a general store and butter factory were established and, later again, an early motor garage, chaff mill and then a shearing shed. The mill and grain store were destroyed by fire in 1923 and today the remaining buildings have been thoroughly renovated to contain several businesses centred around the old stable yard. All the work has been carefully done in keeping with this locally important site. Good returns are accrued from sound tenants.
