This is Acorn, our bluestone Australian cottage. It was built in 1900, has three bedrooms and one bath, and has been completely restored to its original condition by Ken and Sue Loveday, its owners. It’s comfy. Cozy. Warm and inviting. The front and back yards are filled with roses and lavender and numerous native Australian plants.
We truly feel at home here, which is a good thing because we’ll be living here for the next two and a half months.
Acorn is just a very short, two block walk from the village’s main street, where the grocery store is on one corner and Blond Coffee, where I’m writing this, is just across the street.
That is such a beautiful house! Jamie looks at home there!
Acorn and Angaston are lovely- drizzled with sweetness 🙂
I’ve never been there but I’m still homesick.
Cute place! How is the affordability of Angaston?
There’s another of these old cottages for sale just around the corner from us. It’s on a triple wide lot, the house looks absolutely perfect, and the grounds are perfect. The asking price is $650,000.
I’d love to buy it, but Aussie laws prohibit foreigners from buying heritage properties like this. We could buy a new home or condo, but not one that’s been previously owned.
Damn it.
