20 years old;
- Ideal house sites;
- 25m-deep bore with three-phase pump, and good yield (5 L/sec.) of good
(1100 mg/L) water;
(Present pump is 1 L/sec. because that is all that has been needed);

- 2561 kL/year water license;
- 11 kL tank on highest point on property connected to bore;
- 500 olive trees;
- 2 ha of shiraz vines;

Notes
When we bought the property we didn't realize how important it is to have
easy and quick access to Clare.
It is surprising how often one needs to go in to the shops or to do something
else in the town.
We were lucky, it is quick and on a good sealed road all the way.
The altitude of the property ranges from about 398m (near the bore) to 434m
(on the top of the hill where the water tank is).
The vineyard has not been harvested in the last two vintages.
There is an old brick-lined well (that goes dry in summer) with an old
windmill.
Excellent immediate neighbours (Denece and me :-)
Private sale.
Cut out the middle-man and save thousands.
Price
$295,000 negotiable

My wife and I are both in our seventies and we have found that the whole
of the land at Elysium (46ha) is a bit more than we need at our age.
We are retaining the adjacent block to the west; against Scobie Road.
