Step back in time and experience the charm of South Australian history with this extraordinary stone-built home, dating back to c.1844. Nestled on a lush one-acre lot with two titles, this enchanting property offers uninterrupted access to the tranquil waters of Currency Creek via adjoining crown land. This residence is not just a home; it's a living testament to the past, once serving as the heart of the community as the original Currency Creek Post Office and General Store.
Imagine waking up in a home where history whispers through every wall. The original stone-built portion of the house spans a generous 170 square meters, boasting towering 11-foot ceilings that create an airy, spacious ambiance within the generously proportioned rooms. You can almost feel the past come alive with the many original features still intact-doors with intricate handles and locks, timeless fireplaces, and a portion of the original return verandah that graces the northern and eastern walls.
The rumpus room has been converted from the original Post Office/General Store, where wall displays offer insight into how it might have looked in years past. Currently hosting a snooker table, the room could be put to many purposes, but a key feature of it is the original wall-safe with authentic damage from an attempted larceny.
The loft above presents an opportunity for a hidden study, bedroom or additional storeroom.
In the early 1980s, a thoughtful extension brought modern comforts to this historic gem without sacrificing its charm. A contemporary kitchen now invites culinary creativity, while the updated bathroom offers a sanctuary of comfort. An additional bedroom provides a cozy retreat, and a sunroom bathes in natural light, perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon read.
Step outside, and you'll find the magic continues. The home sits on one acre of beautiful, lush green land, ideal for gardening, outdoor activities, or simply soaking in the natural beauty. Directly adjoining this is an additional acre and a quarter of crown land, ensuring your privacy and offering a staggering 175 metres of private creek frontage. Picture yourself enjoying serene afternoons by the creek, with the gentle sounds of water and nature as your only company.
This property isn't just a home; it's a private retreat with a rich past and a promising future. Its historical significance is palpable, with records of the post office opening in 1844 and photographs from 1900 that proudly showcase the residence as the original postal hub. Even in the late 1980s, the home briefly resumed its role as a mail service centre, adding another chapter to its storied existence.
Set in a location that feels like a secret hideaway, yet still accessible to modern amenities, this home offers the best of both worlds. The lush surroundings and the calming presence of Currency Creek provide a sense of tranquility and escape, while the navigable waters for small pleasure craft link you to the Lower Murray.
Owning this historic stone-built home means more than just acquiring a property; it means becoming a steward of a piece of South Australian heritage. With its spacious interiors, rich history, and expansive, private grounds, this residence offers endless possibilities for those who wish to leave their own mark on its legacy. Embrace the rare opportunity to own a slice of history and create a future as enchanting as its past.
