Burra SA 5417

Step back in time to imagine this triple fronted row cottage and shop in its hay day in the heritage township of Burra. Once a bustling mining town, but now more refined for farming, tourism and heritage and only 30 minutes from the Clare Valley. A scenic two hour drive from Adelaide, Burra represents excellent value for money for the astute purchaser and is a superb town in which to live. This character bluestone and slate settlers cottage built in the 1890s is a fine example of early miners architecture, and the original butcher shop.
If you re looking for a change of pace and an escape to the country it may be time to consider your options? Sell up in Adelaide and pay 1/3 of the price for a similar property in the Country. Well now is your opportunity to give it some real thought. This property was once divided into two cottages with a shop front. The property has now been opened up and presents as a large family row cottage. Outside all of the stone work has been repaired and re-pointed by local stone mason and the front bull nose verandah has been replaced. The cottage is set on a large block of 1000 sqm. This represents a fabulous investment and project for the entrepreneurial. The current owner has had plans drawn up to re-model the existing cottage back into three (STCC). Or you could renovate the home as it is. The home is currently tenanted with long term tenant at $150 per week. Inside as it stands there are 7 main rooms plus a country kitchen, bathroom, laundry and shop front. The flexible floor plan allows you to use the home as you wish. The original shop front has a cellar which has also been repaired. Character features include open fireplaces and traditional cottage features. At the rear of the block and old stone workshop/stable, that could also offer potential for a studio apartment. The potential with this property is enormous.
The inside needs some work, but the property has great bones. If you are a keen renovator or looking for a project to create multiple dwellings (STCC), then this is an opportunity too good to miss.
