Here is a fabulous opportunity to secure a slice of Second Valley history, dating back to circa 1852, that is set up to capitalise on the enormous investment potential. These enchanting self contained units have been extensively upgraded over the last few years, and enjoy solid bookings throughout the year. Consisting of 5 separate units, each of them contains a queen bed, kitchenette, bathroom facilities, television and air conditioning. Suites 4 & 5 and 6 & 7 have been cleverly designed so that inter-connecting doors allow families to use two suites at once, if desired. Externally, the cottages offer a communal outdoor entertaining area that includes a gazebo, bbq and decking area.
These cottage's would suit a vast array of potential purchasers and for a wide range of uses. They could be purchased purely as an investment, and by making all 5 units available year round, would maximise the potential return. Other uses could be to utilise the standalone unit for yourself, family or friends, while renting out the other 4 units to holiday guests.
With the cleaning, maintenance and bookings administered by a local manager, this is a great opportunity for a hands on person to take complete control. Alternatively, enjoy the benefits and efficiencies that an owner/manager would bring, and appreciate the advantages of living and working locally in such an amazing part of the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Given the exciting location of these units in Second Valley, there are boundless opportunities that exist here; expand on the synergies that already occur with the popular & nearby Leonard's Mill Restaurant & Bar, capitalise on the ever-increasing traffic passing through to Kangaroo Island via the Cape Jervis ferry terminal, or hop on the Second Valley holiday rental renaissance - this truly is becoming one of South Australia's hottest holiday rental destinations.
Set amongst a delightful cottage garden, the property is located opposite the ever-popular Leonards Mill Restaurant, while a leisurely stroll will have you sitting on the Second Valley beach. Such is the history of the cottages (formerly known as Poplar House), it is one of the many highlights of the Second Valley Heritage Walk.
