Wander down the quiet, history-filled lanes of Goolwa's Little Scotland, where the charm of the past meets the easy rhythm of coastal living. Once part of the town's proud boat-building heritage and featured along the heritage walk, this beautifully revived 1850s cottage embodies simple pleasures, timeless character, and enduring charm.
Step through the white picket fence into a garden that bursts with colour each spring - a serene, storybook setting that feels like it's been waiting just for you. Inside, solid double-brick walls hold generations of history, while the crackle of the open fireplace brings warmth and romance to cool coastal evenings.
The home features two bedrooms - the main with reverse-cycle air conditioning and the second with a ceiling fan - both fitted with plantation shutters.
A welcoming lounge showcases recently updated Turkish travertine flooring, a beautifully restored fireplace with a slow-combustion heater, and soft natural light streaming through the windows adorned with plantation shutters. A chandelier adds a touch of elegance, completing the room's timeless appeal.
A second living area provides flexible options - ideal as a guest retreat, home office, or peaceful reading room.
At the heart of the home is the light-filled kitchen and casual meals area, featuring an electric cooktop, oven, discreet overhead exhaust, and island bench - the perfect space where conversation flows as easily as the nearby river. Multiple character windows overlook the patio and gardens, while a reverse-cycle air conditioner ensures comfort year-round. The laundry is currently housed within the kitchen area, but could easily be relocated to the upgraded shed, making room for a dedicated laundry space if desired.
The bathroom offers both a bath and shower, with a separate wash closet for convenience.
Outdoors, the charm continues - from the scent of flowers drifting through the fully organic, pesticide-free gardens to the inviting undercover patio and lush lawn area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The carport features an electric roller door and built-in storage, with a second roller door providing access to the rear lane.
Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully upgraded, this original double-brick cottage blends historic integrity with modern comfort. The kitchen extension is a more recent addition, with potential to extend further (subject to council consent).
Take a leisurely stroll to the Goolwa Wharf Markets, wander the riverside trails, or simply unwind on the veranda as the world slows down around you. Opportunities to secure a cottage in Little Scotland are rare - here's your chance to own a piece of Goolwa's living history in one of its most tightly held and treasured pockets.
