3116 Southern Ports Highway, Mount Benson, SA 5275

There's a certain kind of magic in the limestone coast-vast paddocks, open skies, and the peaceful hum of country life. And nestled quietly along Southern Ports Highway in Mount Benson, Karobina Cottage sits patiently, waiting for someone to bring that magic back to life.
Set on approximately 15.4 acres, this rural retreat is ideal for the visionary buyer-someone who values privacy, space, and the raw potential to create something truly personal. The original stone construction of the cottage, built from a classic concrete and sand mix, anchors it in history. A wraparound verandah offers the perfect spot to enjoy sunsets over your front garden, with the smell of sea air drifting in from nearby Robe and Long Beach.
Inside, the home is humble but functional: a cozy kitchen warmed by a wood stove, a reverse cycle air conditioner to handle the changing seasons, and a gas heater in the living room to cut through chilly mornings. Modern touches like solar panels, Sky Muster NBN, and 4G coverage make this a practical base for off-grid or semi-rural living.
But it's outside where this property truly shines. A 2-bay shed with attached workshop and a towering 4-bay hay shed are perfect for machinery, animals, or future creative conversions. The three rear paddocks-with some fencing in place-are a blank canvas for agistment, grazing, or even boutique farming.
Located in a Rural Zone, the property comes with a set of overlays-mostly environmental protections like water resources and bushfire considerations. But with no major development barriers, the existing cottage provides a rare starting point for renovation or extension.
