Character Cottage "Original Blacksmith's Quarters"
Share This Property
Once home to the town's first blacksmith and still retaining much of its original mid-century charm, this unique cottage provides an incredible opportunity to procure a piece of Myponga History and express your creative side through a renovation or extension.
The property boasts a stunning backdrop of rolling hills, gum trees and native flora, and you'll often see resident kangaroos sitting on the grass as they sunbake.
This great location also provides easy access to the magnificent Myponga Reservoir for a scenic cycle or walk, or perhaps a kayak to enjoy km's of peaceful serenity on the water.
The Myponga Township with all its boutique shops, character cafes, bakery, sports grounds and more, is also just an easy walk down the Main Road, and the picturesque beaches of Sellicks and Aldinga (not to mention they are the only few 'drive-on' beaches in SA), are just down the hill.
Sitting on a fabulous 1032m2 (approx.), the cottage offers a spacious layout of three big bedrooms, including a massive master bedroom with feature leadlight window.
The front living room is presented with beautiful ornate timber features, including a stunning dado shelf and polished hardwood floors, and it also has an in-built wood heater.
The kitchen sits central alongside the dining area, and has been updated beautifully since the 50s, with gorgeous timber cabinetry and loads of bench space. You may also appreciate the section of recessed wall where the old wood fired oven used to be.
Down the hall, find the fully equipped bathroom and huge laundry with its original slab slate floors and fabulous vintage tri-laundry trough!
There's also a deep storage room to the back of the house, ceiling fans and air conditioning.
Outside has so much potential, with the land holding exceeding 1000m2, there is plenty of scope to add a big outdoor entertaining area, lots of gardens and fruit trees. Dual driveways either side of the cottage provide ample parking space and the yard is fully fenced.
Enjoy spotting the horseshoes imbedded in the old blacksmiths shed floor, a reminder of yesteryear; where the smith would shoe horses for the local farmers and residents.
The shed, with its beautiful high-pitched roof, would now perfectly repurpose as workshop or studio and could also be the ideal business premise to support the flourishing Fleurieu Peninsula tourist destination. This property would also be an interesting B&B, or ideal investment property - currently tenanted on a periodic lease.
The possibilities of this fantastic property are really only limited by your imagination, so please contact Deidre today for a chance to make it yours.
