About this property
Historical Cheese Factory Retreat - 727 Randell RD
Summary:
This original stone cottage was once a working Cheese Factory but has been renovated and restored to a grand masterpiece retreat whilst still maintaining the original charm and quaintness
Nestled on 14 acres of scenic land, this property offers stunning Coorong views, rustic olive groves, and rewilded native areas—perfect for birdwatching, exploring, and even practicing golf (bring your own clubs). The blend of industrial features, polished timber floors, exposed stone walls, and whitewashed timber ceilings creates a unique and impressive atmosphere from the moment you step inside.
The open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area with soaring cathedral ceilings is a standout feature, highlighted by the original cheese churner as a nod to the property's history as a Cheese Factory.
The stylish kitchen, with its country charm and modern amenities including stone and timber benches, a dishwasher, Belling oven, and gas cooktop, is ideal for family meals and entertaining.
Downstairs, you'll find two bedrooms: one with a King bed and wheelchair-accessible ramp from the outside, and the second with three single beds. The back of the house features a welcoming entry area, a modern wheelchair-friendly bathroom, and a separate laundry. A shower chair can be provided on request.
Upstairs, the spacious master king suite offers a private retreat, complete with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe.
The expansive stone terrace at the rear is perfect for long, leisurely lunches, with lawns and old gum trees creating a peaceful backdrop. The studio room includes a pool table, comfy couches, a TV, and a deck area with lounge chairs for enjoying the stunning views.
The rear stone terrace patio area provides the perfect place to entertain in style and enjoy long lazy lunches with the lush green lawns and old gum trees as your backdrop
