Last Listing description (April 2026)

Georgie's Cottage is a charming, locally listed heritage stone cottage set proudly at 1 Riddoch Street, in the heart of the historic township of Penola, the gateway to South Australia's world-renowned Coonawarra wine region. Built in the 1870s and lovingly refurbished, this character rich residence captures the essence of local history while offering the comfort and warmth of modern living.
Positioned on a substantial 1,846m² (approximately) allotment with stunning street appeal, the property presents a rare opportunity to secure not only a beautifully restored cottage but also an outstanding development prospect. After extensive heritage consultation with Wattle Range Council, the current owners have obtained planning approval (STCC) for a second dwelling with segregated access, offering a significant value addition for future expansion.
Inside, the original stone walls and cosy lounge create a warm, welcoming feel. The open kitchen and dining space has that perfect mix of character and practicality, with wooden floors, exposed stone and French doors that open to a private, sunny courtyard which is ideal for morning coffee or an evening glass of local red.

The bedroom is peaceful and inviting, and the spacious bathroom with its spa and double shower adds a touch of indulgence. Everything has been thoughtfully updated, furnished with quality pieces and maintained with real care.
Offered on a walk-in/walk-out basis, the Cottage currently operates as successful short-term accommodation (Airbnb/Stays), and is ready to offer immediate income potential or to become your own restful escape.
Other exciting extras include:
• Two separate driveways
• Landscaped cottage gardens
• High-capacity bore plus mains-connected pump
• Garden shed
• Majestic centurion fig and golden ash trees
• Prized terra rossa soil with 50-70cm depth over limestone
