120 Preamimma Road, Rockleigh SA 5254

Set on an expansive 102.55-acre property in the tranquil area of Rockleigh, this historic stone homestead originally built in 1896 and enhanced in the 1960s blends timeless country charm with practical rural infrastructure. Surrounded by established gardens and featuring private views across the iconic gum tree-lined Preamimma Creek, the residence offers a peaceful lifestyle amidst nature.

The home retains classic period features such as high ceilings, original timber floorboards, and a cellar, enriching the ambiance and character. Central to the house is a cozy living room with an original fireplace fitted with a slow combustion heater, providing warmth and a welcoming atmosphere. Adjacent is a country-style kitchen and meals area equipped with a gas oven, gas cooktop, and reverse-cycle air conditioning, supporting comfortable daily living and family gatherings.

Accommodation includes three sizeable bedrooms, with two rooms fitted with ceiling fans and one featuring its own original fireplace. Recent restoration of the Baltic pine floorboards in one bedroom highlights the potential to extend this appealing character throughout the home. Practicality is ensured by a family bathroom with a bath, shower, adjoining toilet, and a separate laundry facility.

For secure parking and additional storage, the property includes a fully enclosed 9m by 7m carport with a concrete floor, power, and dual roller doors.

Rural lifestyle needs are well met with substantial utilities including a 26,000-litre rainwater storage system, a 5kW solar power setup, and dual water connections via mains and the Phillpot scheme, servicing gardens and amenities.

Outbuildings geared to farming and machinery needs offer diverse space for workshops and storage: a 19m by 9m implement shed with power, a 7m by 6m enclosed workshop, an 18m by 11m machinery shed with a service pit, and an 18m by 10m open implement shed. Together, these provide excellent facilities for hobby farming or rural projects.

The property’s terrain features fertile clay loam soils, scattered gums offering natural shelter for livestock, and a secure, stock-proof single paddock, making it immediately suited for grazing activities. Water security is reinforced by combined access to the Rockford Water Co-Op and Phillpot water schemes, feeding multiple storage tanks and stock troughs across the acreage.
