Historic Thornbury House

Built in 1880 for Mr Thomas Goode Snr, who was one of the earliest settlers to Goolwa, this homestead has stood the test of time for over 140 years with the current vendor's having ownership since 1983. They have loved living in "Thornbury House" and have made some very nice improvements and some very functional improvements over the years while still keeping its historic charm and appeal. From the lovely entry off the eastern wing of the home which features a stained glass window and high ceilings throughout, to the old maid's quarter and cellar, you cant help but be impressed by this grand home and it gives you a real sense of nostalgia as your mind wanders back to Goolwa of yesteryear and its relevance to the state of South Australia. Goolwa has changed a lot over time and now contains some excellent facilities, with several major upgrades happening in the region, but one thing it hasn't lost, is its charm. Goolwa is approximately 80 kilometres south of Adelaide and is the place where the Murray River meets the Southern Ocean, it is a water sport playground and a true holiday destination and now a destination for permanent residents, who once in, tend to stay. You will love this home and what it has to offer, and you will love the spaces on offer both inside and out. One of Goolwa's best, this home is worth consideration.
