Where the frenetic pace ends and rural calm abounds, lives an imposing c1890 return verandah homestead clinging tightly to the dream of an enchanting transformation…
And it'll be absolutely worth the sweat you'll invest in her. "Mon Repos" – meaning "my rest" – does so on a rambling 2058sqm estate, taking a quiet back step on the outskirts of historic Nairne.
How far you take this darling's restoration is only limited by your vision, lifestyle, potentially income-producing plans - and of course, council consent - as a family home or charming country retreat; its open book blank canvas is ready.
Constructed from locally sourced sandstone and bluestone, you'll adore the return verandahs with cast iron lace embellishments, the original double-hung wooden and multi-paned casement windows, and the broad entry hall with geometric, acid-etched coloured glass door surrounds.
Inside, the enormous front rooms boast 3.5m ceilings aiding in cool summer airflow, with solid walls up to 1ft. thick; and given the home's basic amenities, imagination is vital the further you go…
The home's endearing aspects include a well-proportioned and flexible floorplan, original pine timber floorboards, Axminster entry hall and living room carpets, decorative wainscoting and classic damask printed wall panels, plus gold-trimmed cast iron fireplaces with Victorian porcelain tiles deserving to debut in its modern future.
Outdoors paints an untouched landscape mix of native and European flora, palms and box hedges, olives, bulbs, a carob tree, pear tree, plus an old filled-in well and various shedding.
Clean the century-old slate or go wild.
Once slipping discreetly under the radar, Nairne is now high in the sights of buyers knowing full well it has all the lifestyle perks – shopping, cafes, wineries, and wood-fire pizza at the likes of Lot 100 nearby – just 10 minutes from Mount Barker and 30 minutes to the city.
Who wouldn't beat a path to this enchanting door?
