Proudly presented by Marco Fellegvari of eXp Realty — this is one of those properties that can make sense in more than one way.
Renovated home + 1,013m² + huge shed + $420/week + 6%+ gross yield + low holding costs.
A beautifully renovated circa-1920s stone and brick character home, sitting on approximately 1,013sqm, with genuinely large rooms, high ceilings, period character, a substantial rear shed and enough flexibility to work as a family home, regional investment or potentially a short-stay accommodation property.
And unlike plenty of character homes, most of the hard work here has already been done.
The Home — Character Without the Renovation Headache
- Step inside and the scale of the original home becomes immediately apparent.
High ceilings, oversized rooms and traditional fireplaces give the home the character you'd expect from its era, while the extensive renovation brings it comfortably into modern-day living.
The flexible layout includes:
-Three generous bedrooms -Large separate lounge with character fireplace -Central kitchen with substantial bench and storage space -Separate dining area -Modern renovated bathroom -Large laundry and additional utility space -High ceilings and generous room proportions throughout -Multiple original fireplaces and period features -Approximately 141.5sqm of internal living -Approximately 24.8sqm verandah -Rainwater tank -Large rear shed / double garage of approximately 45sqm -Wide side driveway providing easy vehicle access to the rear -Approximately 1,013sqm allotment
It has the bones and character that are increasingly difficult to reproduce — without asking the next owner to start from scratch.
The Investment — Simple Numbers That Make Sense
-For investors, the proposition is equally straightforward.
-Rental appraisal: approximately $420 per week
That's approximately:
$21,840 gross rental income per annum.
Holding costs are also relatively modest:
Council rates — approximately $1,100 per annum Water rates — approximately $312 per quarter Combined council and stated water charges — approximately $2,348 per annum
The property was previously marketed for rent at $420 per week, providing further support for the current rental appraisal.
Rent it conventionally, use it yourself, or explore a combination of the two.
The Short-Stay Opportunity
Here's where the property becomes particularly interesting.
Kimba sits directly on the Eyre Highway — National Highway One — at the famous halfway point across Australia and acts as an eastern gateway to the Gawler Ranges.
Tourism is already supported by attractions including:
-Kimba Silo Art -The Halfway Across Australia landmark -The Big Galah -Whites Knob Lookout -Edward John Eyre sculptures -Gawler Ranges access -Eyre Peninsula road-trip traffic
There is an established short-stay accommodation market in Kimba, including Airbnb-style entire homes and serviced accommodation.
With three large bedrooms, generous living areas, off-street parking, a sizeable block and direct Eyre Highway positioning, 7 Eyre Highway could lend itself exceptionally well to furnished short-stay accommodation for travellers, contractors, visiting workers and tourists, subject of course to the appropriate approvals, insurance and buyer investigations.
The Location — Regional Living Without Giving Everything Up
Kimba isn't just a highway stop.
The township provides everyday services including Kimba IGA, Kimba Area School and Kimba Hospital, while retaining the quieter pace and affordability of regional South Australia.
And sitting directly on the Eyre Highway places the property naturally in front of one of Australia's great east-west touring routes.
