The cottage is an historic sandstone building, built in 1879. The property is in a calm & tranquil location, set in 2.5 hectares of land, with views facing the reservoir in the 'Pine Reserves'. Originally built for the reservoir manager, the reservoir used to supply all the water to Australia's oldest mining town, Kapunda. Located in the Barossa Valley, 15 minute drive to the nearest winery, 45 mins to Clare Valley. Maggie Beer Farm shop 20 mins drive, golf course near, pool in town. The house is solid sandstone, with polished wooden floors. Updated with uber lux in mind, three rooms with queen beds. Each room has been designed for comfort and a good night’s sleep, whilst still retaining the original features. The dramatic 4-metre-high ceilings are beautiful and keep the house really cool in summer. The front door opens on to the view of the ‘Pines Reserve’, the main eating /drinking table, is outside at the front of the house, under the portico, you can enjoy your views whilst eating breakfast and having a coffee. There is movable seating with the long eating table. (See photos). Set in 2.5 acres he house is very tranquil and is private with neighbours in the distance. The log fire in the lounge is lovely for snug winters, and a fire pit outside for winter star gazing, and marshmallow roasting, lots of wild life to see and the views all around are outstanding. The kitchen has an induction cook top and oven, and a slimline dishwasher – because no one wants to wash up on holiday!
