According to information and photographs shared by the vendor, the charming three-bedroom home was once owned by Emilie Appelt of the prominent Appelt family who ran a general store in the town.

Emilie Appelt wrote a diary from 1904 to 1914 chronicling her life in Eudunda. The diary was edited and published as a book in 2021 by Samuel Doering.

Built in 1898, the stone cottage is being presented to market by selling agent Teri Wenske of Elders Real Estate Barossa.

“The vendor has shared that Emilie Appelt, who once owned the house, was ahead of her time and also used to train ladies to be bank tellers,” Ms Wenske said.

“The cottage has been well maintained and houses three generous-sized bedrooms and a unique pickle cellar,” she said.

The home, which has a spacious lounge room, is fully carpeted and has high ceilings. Over the year, upgrades have been made with a ceiling fan installed in the master bedroom, a new roof, new front porch as well as an updated bathroom.

One of the stone outbuildings houses the pickle cellar and there’s space for storage as well.
