The Tiger Hotel at Tantanoola is set to change hands for an unspecified price.
The doors suddenly closed in March after the proprietors of the previous 15 months encountered trading difficulties.
The freehold and leasehold of the Railway Terrace premises were available for purchase through an Adelaide-based hotel broker.
The city broker has stated the hotel is now “under offer”.
The Tiger Hotel is currently closed.
Adelaide-based investors are understood to own the freehold of “The Tiger” and extensive exterior and interior renovations have been under way in recent years to its beer garden and manager’s accommodation.
Founded as the Railway Hotel around 140 years ago, the first publican was Aaron Lane who also founded hotels at Millicent, Southend and Beachport.
Over the past decade or so, the lease has frequently changed hands and there have been other lengthy periods of closure.
The Tiger Hotel is famous for displaying the so-called Tantanoola Tiger in a glass case in the front bar.
