36 Main North Road Auburn, SA 5451

Historic Auburn Shopfront & Character Home - A Rare Live-and-Work Opportunity
Set across two titles, 36 Main North Road is one of Auburn's most recognisable and cherished properties. Once the town's original blacksmith shop, this historic building now offers a rare opportunity to combine a thriving business presence with a private and welcoming home.

The striking storefront creates an immediate impression, with large display windows and a classic verandah drawing visitors inside. Within the shop space, soaring raked ceilings, exposed beams and warm timber flooring provide an inspiring setting for a gallery, retail space, studio or boutique business. A generous rear storage area adds valuable practicality.

Beyond the shopfront lies a surprisingly private residence that blends comfort and character. The home opens into a light-filled living and dining area framed by cathedral ceilings and rich timber beams. The adjoining kitchen and lounge overlook the lush gardens, creating a relaxed and welcoming space centred around a cosy wood heater.
The home offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a wheelchair-accessible ensuite. A second living area or studio provides flexibility for creative work, guests, or additional family space, allowing the property to adapt beautifully to a range of lifestyles.

Set on an impressive 1120m², the grounds are fully fenced and secured by electronic gates, offering privacy and peace. Mature trees and established gardens create a tranquil setting, with winding pathways leading through multiple outdoor spaces including secluded patios, a charming gazebo and a private courtyard ideal for entertaining or quiet moments in nature.

For those who enjoy gardening, the property includes multiple garden beds and a dedicated potting shed, creating the perfect environment to cultivate your own green retreat. The grounds are also highly functional, providing ample secure parking for up to six vehicles, along with a two-car garage, woodshed and garden shed.
Positioned at the southern gateway to the Clare Valley along the Horrocks Highway, Auburn offers a relaxed country lifestyle surrounded by wineries, cafés, galleries and cycling trails. Located only 111 km from Adelaide and 25 km from Clare, this unique property places you at the heart of one of South Australia's most loved regions.
Combining history, lifestyle and commercial potential, 36 Main North Road presents a rare opportunity to live, work and create in one truly special place.
