We say across South Australia … 14 of them are in Coober Pedy, four are in Andamooka, one is in Wudinna and the other is in Punyelroo.
So what can you get for less than $100,000?
Well, believe it or not, you can actually get a reasonably nice place. Albeit, a humble one.
In the case of Unit 11 Richards Ave, Wudinna, you can get an airconditioned two-bedroom leasehold retirement unit close to a park and a medical centre. That one’s $70,000.
Then there’s a fully furnished single-bedroom cabin – Cabin D10, to be precise – opposite the cliffs of the Murray River in the Punyelroo Caravan Parn. That one will set you back $62,000.
That’s one side of the spectrum. That’s the good.
Then there’s the bad, which includes a vandalised Coober Pedy home with destroyed internal walls. That one will set you back just $42,000.
So without further ado, here are SA’s bargain buys under $100,000.
