Historic Climar is a distinguished Art Deco masterpiece.
Standing as one of Tasmania’s most celebrated architectural landmarks, Climar was designed and built for renowned author Marjorie Bligh and completed in the post-war era.
This authentic Art Deco residence has captivated admirers for over seven decades.
Its sweeping curved facade, refined glass detailing and distinctive musical-note fence have become defining features of the Midlands landscape.
Featured in national exhibitions and architectural publications, Climar is more than a home — it’s a treasured piece of Tasmania’s cultural heritage.

The property at No.156 High St, Campbell Town was listed for sale by Thomas Baird, director of Thomas & Associates.
Last week it was Tasmania’s most popular home on realestate.com.au, and with many thousands of views, it rocketed to No.3 on the national chart, too.
“It’s been exceptionally well received, both online and in terms of inquiry,” Mr Baird said.
“We’ve seen strong engagement across the major platforms, with inquiries coming from right across Australia, not just locally.”

Mr Baird said the gorgeous historical architecture was not the only thing capturing the imagination of property lovers.
“What’s really resonating with people is the balance the home strikes — the integrity of the original period architecture paired with the beginnings of a contemporary upgrade,” he said.
“That work was undertaken by the well-regarded interior designer from Victoria who owned the property.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the home attracted scores of serious buyers.
“We’ve had multiple offers on the property, and it is now under contract following contested interest from several parties, which is often the case with homes that generate this level of engagement,” Mr Baird said.
Climar’s interior preserves its original Art Deco character with striking integrity.
The floorplan encompasses three bedrooms and a dedicated study, while gracious living and dining spaces are bathed in natural light.
The curved kitchen offers abundant storage, complemented by ornate decorative plaster ceilings and bespoke built-in cabinetry that flow throughout the home.
