Last Listing description (December 2017)

Legend has it that Colonel William Light called this serene slice of Second Valley 'a little paradise'.
Welcome to the cottage that holds a special place in South Australia's history books, and your new piece of paradise.
Originally built by early colonist Henry Jones in 1845 the beautiful bluestone was sourced from adjoining Marble Hill.

Just as this 2-bedroom cottage is a jewel in the hamlet of Historic Randalsea, it has been everything to six generations of the one family.
As you cross the rustic bridge and creek this idyllic setting throws back to early settler life, just a one-hour drive from Adelaide. Poplar trees line the entrance with beautiful views to the sea beyond.
Recorded by the National Trust, yet free of Heritage restrictions, your deceptively close connection to the city comes with the option to put your own contemporary stamp on this treasured story.
Alternatively, the cottage has enormous potential as a tourism income source, offering a unique heritage farm-stay experience or creative retreat for visitors seeking a stopover to Kangaroo Island or a base from which to immerse themselves in the world-class McLaren Vale wine region, Encounter Bay aquatic experiences and Deep Creek wilderness - all in close proximity. The SA Tourism Commission have resources ready to help you launch and promote your new venture. (STCC)
A reflection of simpler times, the cottage offers a floorplan of two bedrooms, kitchen and a lounge room.
Take note of the timber-clad ceilings, Mintaro slate floors, vintage kitchen and colonial Dutch lamps - all well-considered additions that don't compromise the old-world charm that seeps through every pore.
And with the next chapter come new memories...
Like long lunches at Leonard's Mill and summer days as Second Valley beach - a cove so beautiful that it remains somewhat of a secret, held tight by locals.
More reasons why we love this home:
- One of the oldest homes in the state
- Walking distance (or five-minute drive) from the beach
- Close to a range of golf courses, including Links Lady Bay
- Just a short drive from shopping and dining at Normanville
- Stylish stainless steel benchtops to vintage style kitchen
- Pot belly stove and open fireplace
- Enjoy fine food and silver service at the nearby Leonard's Mill restaurant
- And so many more.
