A one of a kind opportunity to purchase a charming character bluestone cottage on 1.75 acres in the heart of Clare. Central to all services, walk to the shops, sporting facilities and school, the location is one of Clare's dress circle addresses. The property has two allotments and a park land setting. Meander the grounds with lovely seating areas, sit back relax with a glass of Clare Valley's finest and enjoy the bird-life and space and yet still be in the heart of Clare. The bluestone cottage retains all the charm and character of yesteryear. Beautiful stone-work, eyelash return verandahs and cobblestone paving. Traditional design with central hallway, leadlight windows, open and ornate fireplaces, high ceilings. There are four double bedrooms, all with built in cupboards and fireplaces. A family living room with symmetrical timber windows adjoins the country eat-in kitchen which was updated in the 90's with good storage, great preparation area to cook up a storm, dishwasher, and double sink. The family bathroom has spa bath, shower, vanity and a raked ceiling. There is also a dry cellar plus 3kw solar.

The stone barn was re-built with bluestone and is absolutely beautiful. This is 16.5m all powered, new roofing timbers and roof and has two workshops plus the garage. The barn is perfect as it is but lends itself to further modification for granny flat or B&B. The property also has a second shed for storage or parking vehicles plus a caravan annex.
Mains water is connected and there is over 17,000 gallons rainwater plumbed to the home that can be switched to mains water when required.
