Built in horse-and-cart days, this 1890 homestead turns 10 acres of Nangkita countryside into an affordable lifestyle proposition. What begins with a simple, robust home and soul-soothing valley outlook quickly expands into a property defined by its paddocks, shedding, bore water and broad potential.
Inside, the home has the warmth and proportions of another era, with high ceilings, a country kitchen, adjacent dining, separate living spaces and bathroom bringing comfort to the practical bones. Outside, the old dairy, horse arena, bore, tanks and three-phase powered shed make it an acreage property with substance in a soul-soothing Fleurieu Peninsula setting.
Open the door to:
• A genuine 10-acre lifestyle holding that balances liveability with utility, giving buyers space for horses, sheds, tanks, paddocks and future plans in one affordable rural package
• A character homestead dating back to 1890, with high ceilings, generous room proportions and the simple, enduring feel of a home that has stood the test of time
• A timber country-style kitchen with farmhouse sink, breakfast bar, good bench space and garden outlooks, positioned beside casual dining so daily life stays connected and easy
• Multiple living zones including a formal dining room, separate lounge and an additional living area with slow combustion heater, giving the home flexibility beyond its three-bedroom footprint
• Large bathroom and laundry zone with full bath, shower and practical floor area, already improved where it counts most
• Three well-scaled bedrooms and the adaptability to refresh, rework and add personal style over time
• Split-system air conditioning, open fireplace ambience and combustion heat for comfort across the seasons
• Arched openings, thick walls, broad circulation zones and solid country proportions that give the interiors a sturdy, grounded feel
Outdoors:
• A shady front verandah that looks toward the Nangkita Valley and the creek across the road
• A high-clearance 13x9m shed with concrete floor and three-phase power, ready for machinery, workshop use, storage, horse gear or serious weekend projects
• Old 11x5m dairy building and additional sundry shedding that deepen the property's practical appeal and rural authenticity
• Four paddocks with water access and a horse arena, already laying the groundwork for an equine lifestyle or small-scale rural setup
• Equipped bore with abundant quality water, supported by several tanks, giving the property strong self-sufficiency credentials
• Wide gravelled access and open working areas around the shedding that make movement, parking and day-to-day acreage logistics straightforward
Close the Door on:
• Paying a premium for acreage without the infrastructure to support the lifestyle it promises. This horse-ready property backs up its 10 acres with a bore, tanks and serious shedding
• Character homes that have been stripped of their identity in pursuit of a generic finish. Here, the age, scale and country feel still come through, giving the next owner something authentic to build on
• Rural listings that are too remote for convenience and too compromised to justify the drive. Just five minutes from Mount Compass and within easy reach of Kuitpo and the coast, you're never far from what matters

• Equipped bore
• Several rainwater tanks
• Three-phase power to main shed

An honest country holding with history in its walls, water on hand, and space to do far more than the basics, this is the kind of affordable acreage that earns its keep from day one. Come check it out; you're going to love it.
