This outstanding offering of a unique villa with a very romantic history is situated in the heart of coastal Semaphore. It was built in the 1880's by Captain James Needle, an English sea captain as a wedding gift for his wife, Phyllis. He named the home Mimosa after the second brightest star in the Southern Cross.

Since the Needle family, the property has changed owners very few times and was with a previous family for around 75 years. The current owners, who live at Mimosa, have spent many years lovingly and meticulously restoring the property to its original glory and splendor. The hard work has been done including an extension, upgrades to the electrical and plumbing; the exquisite bluestone exterior has also been re-pointed.
