The home:
Steeped in history and surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Limestone Coast, 'Nayook' is a once-in-a-generation lifestyle property where timeless character, rural tranquillity and exciting opportunity come together on about 70 acres.
Dating back to the late 1800s, the original homestead is a magnificent reminder of a bygone era, showcasing the craftsmanship and charm that simply cannot be replicated today.
While ready to enjoy immediately, this much-loved home presents an extraordinary opportunity for its next custodians to sympathetically restore it to its former grandeur and create one of the region's truly iconic country residences.
Despite its wonderfully private rural setting, 'Nayook' is also remarkably well-connected.
Positioned just 10 kilometres from Mount Gambier and only minutes from the airport, it offers easy access to everyday conveniences as well as direct connections to Adelaide and Melbourne.
The very best of the Limestone Coast is also within easy reach, with pristine beaches about 20 minutes away and the Glenelg River just 15 minutes from home, delivering an enviable lifestyle where country serenity meets coastal adventure.
Beyond its charming stone and weatherboard façade and picturesque verandah, 'Nayook' homestead offers soaring ceilings, timber floorboards, decorative architraves, high skirting boards and elegant four-panel doors provide the perfect canvas for lovers of period homes.
Three original open fireplaces remain fully operational, filling the home with warmth and atmosphere throughout the cooler months, while the spacious country kitchen offers generous preparation space, abundant storage and even retains its original ESSE stove as a striking reminder of the home's rich history.
Large enough to accommodate everyday family meals, the dine-in kitchen flows seamlessly into the adjoining living room, creating a welcoming heart of the home where family and friends can gather with ease around the slow combustion wood fire.
Four generously proportioned bedrooms provide flexible family accommodation, including interconnected rooms that lend themselves beautifully to a parent's retreat, nursery or home office.
Two bathrooms further enhance everyday practicality, ensuring the home comfortably caters to modern family living.
Adding another dimension to this exceptional property is the beautifully renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage.
Styled with a contemporary equestrian aesthetic that pays homage to its past as both a sheep station and racehorse stud, the fully self-contained residence is currently operating as successful short-term accommodation.
Whether you continue its holiday letting success, accommodate extended family, create guest accommodation or provide housing for staff, it offers incredible versatility alongside valuable income potential.
Outside, 'Nayook' is every bit as impressive.
Established century-old trees, park-like gardens and sweeping rural vistas create an atmosphere of complete peace and privacy, while quality infrastructure supports a wide range of agricultural, equestrian and lifestyle pursuits.
Seven paddocks, cattle yards, horse stables, extensive shedding and reliable water infrastructure make the property equally suited to grazing, cropping, horses or simply embracing the country lifestyle you've always imagined.
Perfectly positioned just 10km from Mount Gambier and only minutes from the airport, you'll enjoy the serenity of rural living without sacrificing convenience.
Whether you're dreaming of restoring a magnificent period home, running a boutique accommodation business or simply escaping to an idyllic country estate, 'Nayook' offers an extraordinary lifestyle rich in history, opportunity and endless possibility.

A feature that is not listed here may still be there.

No. Each one is something a listing or an agent said the home has, written down and passed on. Nobody from Byrz has been inside to confirm any of it, so treat the list as claims to check at an inspection rather than as findings.
How buying a home actually works
Buying a home is the same few steps every time.
What each step involves
Here they are in the order they actually happen, so you can see where reading this page fits in.
- Find out what you can borrow. Do this before you fall in love with a home. A lender or a mortgage broker works out how big a loan you could get, and that ceiling decides which homes are worth your Saturdays. It is called pre-approval, it is not a loan and it is not a promise, and asking for one costs you nothing.
- Go and stand in a few. Photographs flatter every home ever listed. An open home is free, nobody books you in, and you can leave after two minutes. Walking through five homes in one suburb teaches you what your money buys there, which is the thing no website can tell you.
- Pay somebody to check the home, and somebody to read the contract. A building and pest inspector finds what the photographs left out. A conveyancer or a solicitor reads the contract, which is the part that decides what happens if something goes wrong, and it is written before you ever see it. Both cost money, both are cheaper than what they find, and both happen before you sign rather than after.
- Then you make an offer, or you bid. An offer can usually be made subject to your finance and to the inspection, so you have a way out if either falls over. An auction sale usually has no cooling off period, so at an auction everything above has to be done before you raise your hand. After that comes settlement, which is a month or two of paperwork your conveyancer runs, and then the keys are yours.
You do not need an account for any of that. It does take months, though, and the homes you are weighing up will move while you are working through it.
Save this home and Byrz keeps watching it for you: price changes, and when the listing sells, goes under contract, is pulled or comes back.
Start watching this homeAuction
If this home goes to auction, you can register to bid and follow your own registration here.
The money
What buying this one would actually cost
The price is not the number you need: transfer duty, registry fees, a conveyancer and a building and pest inspection all come out of the same savings as your deposit, and Byrz works them out only from a price this listing states or one you put in, never one it invented.
Queensland only, for now
Byrz has transcribed the transfer duty schedule and the registry fees for Queensland, and so far only for Queensland. This home is in SA, so Byrz will not put Queensland rates on it and will not guess at another state's.
Everything else on this page is unaffected, and what each of these costs pays for is the same wherever you buy, so the notes below still hold. A conveyancer in that state will give you the duty and the fees before you sign anything.
What each of these costs pays for
Transfer duty is a tax on the transaction itself, paid to the state, and on most purchases it is far larger than everything else combined. The registration fees pay the state titles office to record who owns the lot and who holds the mortgage over it. Conveyancing pays a person to read the contract, run the searches that tell you whether the property is affected by anything, and move the money on settlement day. Building and pest pays an inspector to walk the home before you are committed.
Why two of these are ranges, not rates
A published rate is set by a government, either applies to you or does not, and you can check it against the schedule yourself in a minute. A typical range is an observation Byrz has made about what people are charged, and nobody is bound by it. A page that mixes the two into one total without saying which is which has misled you by its shape, whatever its words said. Ring two conveyancers and find out what yours will be.
Why none of this can go on the loan
A lender lends against the property, not against the cost of buying it, so none of these charges can be added to the loan. They come out of the same savings you were going to put down, and they come out first. That means the price you can reach is not your savings divided by a deposit percentage: it is your savings, minus all of this, divided by a deposit percentage. People find this out at the wrong end, usually a week before settlement.
What Byrz cannot know about this home
Byrz does not put a price on any home. Every figure here is worked out from one price: the one this listing states, or the one you put in yourself, and the card says which. Byrz does not know your savings, so it shows reference deposits rather than your position. It does not decide whether a concession applies to you: the state revenue office does that, on the transfer, and a conveyancer will tell you where you stand before you sign.
When it went to auction
- Auction, August 2026
An auction result says what happened on the day: sold before the auction, sold under the hammer, or passed in without selling.
Where an auction result comes from
We read the result from the agent's own wording, which is why most auctions here show a date and nothing else. A figure shown beside a result is not a sale price.
Government records for this location
They describe the location, not the condition of the home.
- Council
Grant (SOUTH AUSTRALIA)
Please note that ABS approximated boundaries do not match official legal or administrative boundaries and should only be used for statistical purposes.
Where these records come from
Byrz reads these from government flood studies, planning schemes, school catchment maps and public transport datasets, at the mapped coordinate for this home. Boundaries and datasets change, and a mapped risk describes the mapped area, not the state of any building on it. Before relying on one of these records, check it against the council's or the custodian's own tools for this address.
What is a planning overlay?
An overlay is an extra rule a council puts on an area of land, on top of the normal zoning. If a home sits inside one, it means the council looks at certain plans more closely, like building near a waterway or changing an older character home. An overlay does not stop you buying the home.
What is a school catchment?
A state school catchment is the area a school takes its enrolments from, so a home inside one is generally entitled to a place at that school. Catchments are redrawn from time to time and there are exceptions, so confirm with the school or the education department before relying on one. Non-government schools set their own enrolment rules, which is why only state catchments appear here.
What is a lot and plan number?
It is how the state land registry names the piece of land an address is recorded against, and it is what a title search, a council enquiry or a conveyancer will ask you for. It describes the land, not the building on it: every unit in a block shares one plan, and a single parcel can hold more than one home. Where a land size is shown beside it, Byrz measured that from the boundary the registry publishes, because no state publishes the area itself.

One of these looks wrongAn estimate from photos
Might anything need fixing up?
Our software looked at this home's photos, one area at a time. It picked the area that looks like it would cost the most to fix up, and guessed a rough price range for that one area. It is a guess from pictures, not a quote and not an inspection, and it can be wrong. If it is wrong about your home, tell us and we will look at it.
The area that looks like it would cost the most to fix up
$15,000 to $50,000
That range is for that one area on its own. It does not include any other area, and it is not what the whole home would cost.
Based on 82 photos across 13 rooms, read on 4 September 2026.
Areas overview
Biggest looking jobs first, each price for that one area on its own. There is no total: what you spend depends on what you do.
Some of the lowest numbers below are ours, not the software's. Photos make a job look cheaper than it is, so we do not show a kitchen under $20,000.
Want a real number? Our renovation partners can quote it.
How our software works this out
It reads the photos on the listing. It sorts them by area, then looks at things like benchtops, tiles, floors and paint. It compares what it sees with what that kind of work usually costs. It never visits the home, and it never sees anything the photos do not show.
Why we show one area and not the whole home
Adding every area together would give you a number that looks precise and is not. Most people do not redo everything at once, homes get fixed up in stages, and any area with no photo is invisible to us. So we show you the one area that stands out, and we leave the adding up to a real quote.
What could change this number
A lot. Photos can be years old, or taken right after a tidy up. What you choose matters more than what is there now: the same kitchen can cost $10,000 or $60,000 depending on what you put in it. Prices also differ between towns and cities. Treat this as a starting point for a conversation, not a budget.
Is this wrong about your home? Tell us and we will look at it.
This looks wrong: the renovation estimateByrz does not yet hold: a past sale price, rent figures for this area.
- No past sale price on file
- We do not have a past sale price for this home. That can mean it has never sold, or simply that we do not have it.
- No rent figures for this area
- We do not have median rents for this area. Government rent releases reach us for some parts of Australia and not others.
