An absolute local icon since construction in 1868. By extension the City of Churches, grew to match its impressive scale, 147 Mount Barker Road is a once-in-a-generation chance to forge something divine.

Breathtaking vaulted ceilings, timber floors and gothic windows wrap the space in heritage, simultaneously a powerful portal through time and the perfect canvas for any purpose or design movement. Structured spaces divide the main hall into dedicated retail rooms, central reception area, offices, and mezzanine showroom, each at once intimate and vast.

An additional rear hall – added in 1890 and proudly Stirling's first primary school – expands the footprint further, stepping out to sculpture gardens, 200-year-old oak trees a canopy for complete botanical immersion as you soak up the full-scale of the soaring sandstone exterior.

Introducing the 21st century seamlessly, an award winning architectural extension continues the lines north, panoramic windows and full-width balcony creating an observation deck across the treetops. Steel, glass and stone are delicately balanced cross the vast space, full acoustic ceiling alleviating reverberation for full audio control.

Extensive gallery lighting, sound system and picture rails ensure it's a match-fit and totally configurable exhibition space, while a rear kitchen, loading bay and bathrooms complete the floorplan with effortless utility.

Cherished as a gallery for nearly 40 years, the next era is awaited with keen interest. Continue the artistic legacy with your own spin, or reimagine entirely as state-of-the-art offices, a co-working hub, wellness centre, performance space or fitness studio. Maybe it's the next it-wedding venue or hospitality concept, stretching to blend indoors and out and encompassing the full grounds. Or just maybe, it's the foundation for your own breathtaking residential grand design in the heart of the Adelaide Hills.

The only constant is change, and every option looks epic.
