Steeped in History

A wonderful new renovation project for the Old School House in Mount Mary.

Despite the town’s name, the terrain is essentially flat. Originally surveyed in 1883 and named Krichauff for Friedrich Krichauff and then renamed Mount Mary in 1940 to match the name of the railway station.

Mount Mary School opened as the Krichauff School in 1886. It was renamed Mount Mary School in 1896 and closed permanently in 1956.

Currently the original building structure remains and could become a great Air BnB for the weary traveler or make an exceptional permanent residence. The main building features 2 main rooms and there is a concrete pad from a previous bathroom, and old septic facilities.

In addition to the main building there are several auxiliary structures. The first a shower/laundry block in and off the ground corrugated tank with decking surrounds. Finished off this could bow to the rustic charms of this history rich property. Combined with a curved stone structure adding to the appeal of outdoor entertaining space complete with pitched pergola and rotunda enabling you to feel the serenity of this secluded location.

Mount Mary is a small town on the Thiele Highway between Eudunda and Morgan. It was also served by the Morgan railway line from 1878 until 1969 and is named for the Mount Mary railway station on that line.

Mount Mary is a small town and predominantly a farming Community. The Mount Mary Hotel is still running and has been brought back to life by the current owners serving the community and travelers with exceptional meals and services with all the modern expectations of satellite sports and regular live entertainment.
