An historic home in an iconic Clare Valley township has been given a breathtaking transformation and is ready to delight generations to come.
Vendor Denise Klemm bought the property in 1998, resurrecting a number of dilapidated buildings to create a beautiful three-pavilion home – complete with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and two separate kitchens – that is a celebration of its history and place within the region.

It’s a history she has continued to share with her community.
“My aim was to preserve its history and showcase its character construction, and it could easily be used as a bed and breakfast,” Ms Klemm says.

“Every week we show people through – we’re part of the town’s history walk events and I share the property’s history and some of its secrets.
It was such an iconic building for the town and I’ve really enjoyed sharing it with them, but the new owners don’t feel they need to keep doing that at all.”

The home offers two separate dining areas, a large bathroom with feature bath and a double shower, and an upstairs bedroom with an ensuite.
“What gives me the most joy is seeing peoples’ jaws drop when they walk through the front door because from the outside it looks kind of unassuming but then when you walk inside it’s like a TARDIS – it offers a tremendous sense of space with its soaring ceilings,” Ms Klemm says.
The home sits on a 3087sqm property and is just 20 minutes from Clare and 90 minutes from Adelaide.
