Steeped in rich local history and nestled in the heart of Willunga's iconic High Street, this extraordinary property presents a rare chance to secure one of the town's most treasured heritage sites. Originally built in the 1860s as a tailor's home and shop, the property has evolved over the decades, serving as a butcher shop, the local newsagency, and today, as the vibrant Willunga Gallery—an inspired art space, boutique gift shop, and an event venue.
The stunning transformation of this local heritage-listed property is a testament to the vision and care of its current custodians, who have meticulously restored and enhanced its character while integrating modern functionality. The possibilities here are endless—whether as a business venture, an event space, an artist's retreat, or a cherished private residence.
