Holm Hill - part of South Australia's history 1845 Homestead on 110 acres

Holm Hill – Constructed within the first years of South Australia’s settlement by Edmund Bowman Esq prior to his commissioning Martindale Hall. Built from locally quarried stone this is a classic example of the state’s early architecture. As with all these grand homes they grow as the wealth and standing of the owners increased resulting in a holding that has a great presence and character. Holm Hill was also the home of a distinguished SA sheep stud and is heavily linked to South Australia’s history.

Only 130km from Adelaide and with Mintaro only fifteen kilometers away you are on the doorstep of the Clare Valley wine region and the Burra tourism precinct. This magnificent homestead is set on forty-five hectares (111 acres) of gum studded park like environs overlooking a large freshwater lake fed from the Wakefield River as it meanders through the holding.

Holm Hill offers a stunning on period décor. Undergoing extensive renovation over the past eight years Holm Hill is a credit to its current guardians. Once you view it you will be transported to Bowman’s time (just with the mod cons) to live a life that others could only dream of.
