Brimming with rustic charm, this enchanting stone cottage, believed to have origins around the 1880s, offers a rare chance to secure an authentic piece of the Copper Coast’s past. Privately set back from the road, the property blends heritage character with lifestyle appeal, all within minutes of Moonta’s CBD and the iconic Moonta Mines.
With three bedrooms and one bathroom, this stone cottage is ready for a new life in the hands of someone who appreciates classic craftsmanship. The kitchen is generous in size and filled with warmth, offering electric cooking, an island bar with hotplates, a corner combustion heater and peaceful views across the gardens and surrounding landscape. A light-filled room off the kitchen provides the perfect spot for morning coffees or quiet afternoons, with French-style doors opening to the yard.
Two bedrooms are situated at the front of the cottage, while bedroom three invites you to an outdoor sitting area, ideal for enjoying the tranquility this property so effortlessly delivers. A living area with a combustion heater and built-in shelving is central to the house. The bathroom is spacious but in need of some attention, including a shower over bath, vanity, W/C and storage. The large external laundry connects to a secure garage, while the original workshop has been rewired and includes additional storage.
Adding even more appeal is the barn-style structure, completed in 1980 but masterfully built using historic stone collected from fallen cottages in the district. This thoughtful construction provides an authentic 1880s aesthetic, making it a genuine standout for character-home enthusiasts. One section of the barn includes a bathroom with rainwater connection, a kitchenette, living space and mezzanine sleeping area. The second section, slightly larger and also featuring a mezzanine, offers endless potential—studio, retreat, guest accommodation, home office or creative workspace. With a little imagination, this entire building could be transformed into something truly remarkable (STCC)
Outdoors, there’s room to explore, plant, play, and create. The mallee plantation enhances the rural feel, while the open spaces give kids plenty of freedom to roam and enjoy country living at its simplest.
This quaint, one-of-a-kind property must be seen to be fully appreciated.
