DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Yaaringiree Homestead Complex, including homestead with tunnel, two storey barn, stable, cool room, circular tank with peripheral trough, smithy and dry stone walling
Registered Name Dwelling and Farm Outbuilding - 'Yaaringiree' Homestead Complex
Significance The Yaaringiree Homestead Complex is significant for being one of the most striking examples of vernacular limestone architecture in the region. All the buildings are in good and largely original condition. The complex includes a large two storey barn, a stable with a half round roof, a cool room with another half round roof, a circular tank with peripheral trough (also stone), employees' quarters and the large homestead, built over the years, with an enclosed area which originally formed an open walled court-yard. There are also many good examples of dry limestone walling on the property. The original part of this early farmhouse was built by its first owner John Crispin c.1856 or before, while the outbuildings, including the stable and the two storey barn, appear to date from the same period. There is also a tunnel under the homestead which is said to have been used for cheese-making. (Murray Riverlands Heritage Survey 1984)

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Council areas, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the Planning and Design Code or their local council for Local Heritage Places.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
