Tucked away behind a majestic English oak tree, Le Rêve (French for The Dream) offers a rare chance to own a slice of Port Elliot’s history, seamlessly blended with modern comfort and coastal charm.
Once part of a large farm, the original 1925 building began life as a humble cabin before undergoing an extensive renovation and extension around 2011/2012. Thoughtfully reimagined, the home was even recognised with a heritage restoration award (not heritage listed), celebrating its careful balance of preservation and renewal.
Step inside and discover character at every turn, the kitchen, lovingly constructed from original recycled timber, is the heart of the home, overlooking the dining space and beyond to a sun-filled leafy rear garden. Two bedrooms provide comfort and practicality, the master complete with built-in robe and ensuite, while a large, combined laundry and second bathroom sit conveniently off the kitchen. A cosy lounge with operational iron fireplace and timber mantle creates a warm retreat, complimented by a ceiling fan for year-round comfort.
Outside, the cottage gardens are a delight, recycled brick paths, fragrant flowers, herbs, and shrubs in full bloom, and even a raised bed with beans ready to start their climb. A bullnose veranda frames the front façade, while timber windows, storage sheds at both front and rear, and a rainwater tank enhance the home’s practicality.
This is a unique walk-in, walk-out opportunity, with most furnishings included (to be confirmed by the agent at inspection), making it the ideal permanent residence, holiday retreat, or weekend escape.
From this charming address, Port Elliot’s vibrant cafés, boutiques, and restaurants are just a short stroll away, while world-class beaches are a little further on foot. Victor Harbor is a 10-minute drive, McLaren Vale’s celebrated wine region less than 40 minutes, and Adelaide within 70 minutes – all placing convenience and lifestyle right at your doorstep.
