17/19 Stanley Street

Maclean NSW 2463

Commanding a prominent position in Stanley Street, this extraordinary property offers the rare opportunity to become the custodian of a building that has stood at the heart of Maclean's history for well over a century.

Originally established as the Clarence Brewery in 1881, the property has evolved through the decades while retaining the character, craftsmanship and architectural features that make it so remarkable today.

Behind its unmistakable façade lies a home rich in atmosphere and individuality. High ceilings, polished timber floors, wide verandahs, period detailing and eleven original underground brewery cellars combine to create a property unlike anything else currently available in the Clarence Valley.

A Story Steeped in History

Established in 1881, the Clarence Brewery became renowned for producing the famous Bulldog Beer and Red Crab Stout, with its beers distributed throughout the Clarence and Richmond regions and as far as Sydney. Brewing continued until 1902, after which the building was converted into a dual residence before later operating as a boarding house.

Beautifully restored during the late 1970s and recognised by the National Trust of Australia, the property retains many of its original heritage features, including the grand arched entrance, timber floors, decorative cast-iron lacework and its remarkable underground brewery cellars. Today, it stands as one of the Clarence Valley's most significant and recognisable heritage buildings.

With two separate titles at 17 & 19 Stanley Street, the opportunities are as unique as the property itself.
