Middle River 285 Barker Road

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.

Improvements to the property include;

2 bedroom cottage - Council approved 2001, Solar electricity

Implement /Shearing/ hay shedding - approvals circa 1995 & 2002, shearing shed is 2 stand, 2 fixed Silos

Good fencing

Clay/loam/ironstone soils

Good super history - approximately 28/30 T per annum

Estimated sheep carrying capacity 2000 to 2500 DSE - (currently only running approx 150 wethers, 440 merino ewes & lambs)

Estimated long term average rainfall 650 mm, approximately 32 dams - Council approved expansion to some dams as Marron Ponds in 2003

Whilst the farming land can offer work satisfaction, downtime is equally important, and having Snellings Beach only approximately 15 minutes away is a terrific bonus. The regions is well renown locally for big fish, tuna, whiting, snapper & is also iconic for the pristine white sandy beach and the mouth of Middle River.

Rural farming property on Kangaroo Island is very tightly held at present, this property offers opportunity for expansion or entry level into the market, particularly with the existing improvements.

Other opportunities that may compliment the existing income may include Marron farming, tourism activity such as nature based eco cabins or bee hive for honey production.

Offered for sale by Expression of Interest Closing 4pm 1st February 2018.
