Set on 2.5 hectares in the locality of Moorumbine, east of Pingelly, this unique historic property invites you to step back in time and embrace the charm of rural heritage. At its heart sits a cottage originally constructed in 1889 by William Ingram using handmade bricks believed to have been fired on the property itself. Adding to the property's historical significance are a traditional stone-lined well that still holds water, along with the remnants of an old mudbrick stable and blacksmith's shop, serving as enduring reminders of the ingenuity and craftsmanship of earlier times.

The original cottage comprises two rooms that currently serve as a bedroom and lounge. The lounge features a magnificent, tiered fireplace, providing a stunning focal point and showcasing the timeless character of this historic home. A later extension added a kitchen and dining area, creating a functional country retreat. While modest in its current form, this property presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a rustic weekender, peaceful getaway, or restoration project with the potential to become a charming permanent residence or boutique Airbnb accommodation (subject to relevant approvals).

For those looking to enjoy a self-sufficient lifestyle, the property is equipped with an off-grid solar power system featuring 4kW of solar panels and 8kW of battery storage, providing reliable energy independence. Water to the kitchen is supplied via a small rainwater tank located beside the cottage.

Reliable underground water suitable for irrigation has supported the establishment of approximately 360 mature olive trees and provides excellent potential for ongoing productivity. The grove produces a distinctive peppery olive oil, while a selection of Kalamata and Manzanilla table olive trees offer opportunities for personal enjoyment or boutique olive production.

Please note that the cottage does not currently have a bathroom. Toilet facilities consist of a traditional long-drop toilet, while an open-air outdoor shower adds to the property's authentic rustic charm.

Whether you're searching for a peaceful country escape, a productive lifestyle property, or a unique piece of local history, this rare offering provides endless possibilities in a picturesque rural setting.
