Welcome to 'BINGFIELD', a unique property offering a fantastic near-city rural lifestyle. An historic Farmhouse blended with an architecturally designed wing, plus a separate two bedroom cottage (former dairy).

The north facing residence offers sensational farmland views over rolling hay pastures, and across to the towering woodlots. The original area of the home was built between 1936 and 1940 by dairy farmer Harold Filmer and is a fascinating building with heavy rustic timbers and stone sourced from the land. A glassed corridor links the original farmhouse with a two-storey architecturally designed wing constructed in 1980.

- Modern kitchen with stone benchtops, electric appliances, walk-in pantry

- Polished timber floors in the living area, new carpet in bedrooms, polished and sealed concrete corridor

- Four bedrooms plus office, two modern bathrooms, ensuite to main

- 10KW solar power system

- Separate studio cottage (former dairy) offering two bedrooms, kitchen & bathroom - this building has Development Approval for Bed & Breakfast Accommodation (granted 31st January 2008)

The land is divided into ten paddocks (excluding laneways and yards), inclusive of the timber plantations. Water supply to the property is sound, with a good quality bore. The dam is well positioned for water catchment, and offers a great outdoor lifestyle for kids including fishing and catching yabbies - complete with a timber cabin, jetty and an island!

Ample shedding and garaging, consisting of two double garages and workshop, three-sided hay shed, shearing shed with associated yarding and adjoining under cover storage, 17.5m x 5.5m three-sided stable yards.

Separate road entrance to the residence allows heavy vehicles and machinery to enter and drive up to the level 'hard pad' of compacted road base covering an area of approximately 2,600sqm. This affords a rental income opportunity for the astute buyer.

The woodlot plantations cover an area of approximately 28 acres, and offer a variety of different species, including Eucalyptus Grandis / Camaldulensis / Saligna (Rose, Red & Blue Gum), Corymbia Maculata (Spotted Gum) and more. This environment provides a haven for birdlife and the seasonal kaleidoscope of butterflies.

There is significant commercial opportunity for income by way of harvesting the timbers and or foliage. Interested parties will be supplied with extensive notes on the plantations, including projections such as processing costs.

The balance of the land can be cut to hay, producing approximately 40 round bales per annum, stock capacity can comfortably carry 30 lambing ewes with the lambs being sold in the first quarter of the year.

'BINGFIELD' is well located on the outskirts of Meadows Township, only 20 minutes drive to Mount Barker and 40 minutes Drive to Glen Osmond Road.
