4 Gamlen Place Second Valley, SA 5204

This charming stone cottage in the sought-after coastal community of Second Valley is so much more than just a house! It is a rare opportunity to buy your very own slice of South Australia's rich history.
You could live in the home, keep it for holidays, or continue its previous use - as one of the Fleurieu Peninsula's most iconic Airbnbs.
Cosy, comfortable and quite unique, this splendid cottage was built in 1860 and is a fine example of vernacular pioneer architecture.
The property has been extensively updated but retains the character of days gone by. The sensitive renovation balances heritage and charm with all your modern needs and comforts.
Much loved and fastidiously maintained, the cottage consists of a combined kitchen and dining room, master bedroom with separte toilet and vanity, two more bedrooms, the main bathroom and laundry, and a gloriously cosy sitting room.
The updated kitchen features a built-in stainless steel fridge, bench and oven, and your comfort is assured with a split system reverse cycle air-conditioner and combustion wood fire.
A quirky extra in this delightful home is the massive cellar underneath the main bedroom - perfect for an artist studio or storing preserves and wine.
As you would expect, there is a traditional cottage garden complete with fresh herbs, lemon, lime and pomegranate trees, a veggie patch, a fabulous tree house and plenty of hidden nooks where you can lose yourself with a good book in this peaceful location. Plus there is ample water supply for both the cottage and gardens.
Relax and watch the blue-wrens and other finches dart about your garden, and the parrots and other birdlife frolic through the trees. If you're lucky, you'll get a visit from a neighbouring Highland cow, coming over to your back fence to see what you are up to.
As an Airbnb, the Cottage received fantastic reviews - and it's easy to see why. Just a walk or short drive from nearby Second Valley beach, jetty and kiosk, this property is beyond divine.
Second Valley has a rich history dating back to the earliest years of European settlement in South Australia.
It was originally known as Randalsea, after pastoralist William Randall purchased the land and established a private township. Randalsea became an important agricultural centre, home to sawmills, a hotel, blacksmith's shop, post office, general store and built in 1858, the steam-powered Leonard's flour mill.
The local community is friendly and welcoming - and the location is unbeatable, with loads of clean fresh air, and stunning surrounds to explore.
Follow the valley and small Parananacooka Creek down to the beach, where you can enjoy safe swimming, jetty fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving. The shops, cafes and conveniences of Normanville and Yankalilla are just a short drive away.
