Escape to Owen

Whether it's for the weekend to free your mind and rejuvenate the soul or a tree change to escape the suburbs, here you have the ideal starting point.

This property has seen several generations of the same family call it home making this truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure this much loved residence.

This home retains many remarkable original features and is a great example of how this early 20th century dwelling has been extended and improved upon and resources became available and families enlargened.

Circa 1910 this characterful four roomed cottage has enjoyed several lean-to extensions over the years and now offers generous proportions.

Extensive undercover parking is afforded whilst additional shedding offers an abundance of storage.

Our elderly vendor must pass on the baton having dutifully tendered to the home we acknowledge that the time has come for someone with energy and imagination to bring the property back to its former glory and beyond.

Set on over 1800m2 allotment this 'double town block' may suit those that see potential to develop into the future or as an ideal spot to build their dream home and renovate the cottage over time. There are options aplenty.

Renovate or detonate? Refurbish or demolish? Live in or Rent Out? Air B & B or keep to yourself? One thing that is clear is that this is a very affordable entry point into the real estate market and one that offers you several tangible opportunities.

I would dearly love to see the old cottage renovated as these mid north towns remind us of a time that once was and a lifestyle almost forgotten.

This quiet country town has an excellent local pub with schnitzels to rival the best of the region whilst the local school is quaint whilst amenities and services are readily accessible at nearby Balaklava, Malalla and within 30mins of Gawler. I drove from Owen to Adelaide Oval mid morning in just over an hour so making this little getaway not that far away at all.

Bring your paint brush and imagination and inject some effervescence into a property that will reward you with character and style to make you smile in a township that is good for the soul.
