Copper Mine Cottage

Copper Mine Cottage will be featured on Inside Selling Houses Australia New Beginnings as a follow up to the make over of my Church property in Ellalong, NSW. (Selling Houses Australia Season 16 episode 1). Built between 1846 and 1847 by the SA Mining Association and designed by G.S Kingston. The ‘Thames Street Cottages’ are some of the first buildings to be built in Burra, and are a fine example of some of the earliest residential buildings that still remains in South Australia. The space You have access to two large bedrooms featuring queen sized beds in both. A spacious lounge room with a combustion wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioning and heating. A separate dining room with a combustion wood heater. Bathroom with toilet shower sink and bath. Fully equipped kitchen. Laundry with washer and dryer facilities. Private garden setting with covered barbecue area, cottage gardens and shady seating areas. Off street side access parking for one car/caravan/camper. Guest access You will have the use of the whole house and gardens. On arrival you will be greeted with a complimentary bottle of local wine as part of your welcome hamper, with a range of treats to tide you over. The local food and grocery shop is only two minutes walking distance away. A short drive to Clare provides additional food shopping outlets. The cottage features a bounty of old-wares, copper items, musical instruments and antique curios. The barbecue is sited on the side of the property in a quaint undercover area, perfect for morning and afternoon teas as well as a barbecue. Please remember to leave the barbecue clean and tidy for the next guest. If you have your pet staying with you, please pick up their poo and dispose of using the bags provided. So as not to incur an additional cleaning fee, please remove all pet hair/fur before leaving. An ideal pet walk is along the creek which you can access by turning right at the end of Upper Thames Street past the petrol station and across the bridge. Other things to note Burra itself is an historic mining town with National Heritage status and attracts tourists from all over the world. Along with Moonta, Burra is currently in review for their bid to attain "World Heritage status" as part of the Cornish mining heritage worldwide. Burra has won two awards from the 2024 Hello SA Top Tourism Town Peoples Choice. "Tiny Tourism Town" and "People's Choice Award". The area has a good number of interesting sites to visit which have been listed in the hand guide available inside the property and online via this listing. In addition you are situated very close to the Clare Valley and Barossa Valley wineries which are renowned worldwide.
