Gone are the days when old beach shacks often used as holiday homes or weekenders lined South Australia’s coastline.
Many have been demolished over the years to make way for more modern mansions, but one at Wallaroo Plain has stood the test of time.
The two bedroom residence at 377 Myponie Point Drive is offering prospective buyers a taste of a much simpler life – think stopping to admire sunsets every evening and fishing for dinner.

Harris Copper Coast agent Tim Hosking, who is selling the shack with Craig Costello, said it was one of few left in the area.
“They’re getting more rare,” he said,
“There’s some that have been (kept) in the same family for generations because they’re so hard to come by.”
Mr Hosking said the vendors were reluctantly selling the 734sqm property, which they have called home for the past six months.
He said they often fished off the rocks flanking the bay directly in front of the house and gathered around a camp fire to cook their catch.
“The second time I met up with them, they had a fire on the sand directly in front of the shack,” he said.
“It almost feels like you’ve got a live painting in front of you too that changes morning and night.”

It is in a private spot as well, with primarily vacant land and sea surrounding it.
“The land north and south of it is Crown Land so you’re not going to have neighbours nearby,” Mr Hosking said.
While it feels like it’s a world away from civilisation, Mr Hosking said the property was just a short drive away from Wallaroo town centre.
The shack, which property records show was built in 1989, is listed with a price guide of $395,000 to $425,000.
It has electricity, rainwater to the house, an alarm system, NBN and a new antenna.
Mr Hosking said interest in it was coming from prospective buyers keen to lap up the laid-back lifestyle on offer.
“Interest has started to increase, especially as the weather is starting to warm up,” he said.
“People are really wanting to experience it.”
