Beautifully Restored Riverside Mansion with Business Possibilities
If you are looking for a property that is unique, grand and incredibly special, Tynwald is "the one"! Be it a lifestyle or a business opportunity, "Tynwald" is an exceptional property overlooking the banks of the Derwent/Lachlan River, and is considered to be one of Tasmania's most significant historical and beautiful residences.
A once successful bed and breakfast establishment and restaurant in conjunction with being a cherished family home, this grand estate is now ready for a new and exciting chapter, having been lovingly and meticulously restored by the current owner over the past 4 years! Sprawling gardens surrounding this beautiful 9 bedroom, 7 bathroom mansion, with a separate cottage with vehicular access to the front door, ideal for short-stay accommodation. All elevated well above the rivers edge adjoining the scenic esplanade walking track leading into New Norfolk, this property has been a favourite destination for many tourists and local Tasmanians alike in years gone by.
In addition to being a magnificent family home, there is more than enough space to host intimate weddings or special occasions and events with its stunning array of historic backdrops and garden settings; become a specialised cafe experience or be offered as accommodation (STCA) once again. A remarkable Georgian/Victorian mansion, nestled on approximately 11.4 private acres of pasture suitable for livestock, "Tynwald" is a relaxing 30 minute drive from Hobart.
Dating back to the 1830s, "Tynwald" is one of Tasmania's hidden architectural gems, offering both serenity and connection in a perfect blend of natural beauty with historic charm.
The main residence spans over 460sqm across three spacious levels, offering up to nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms - four with ensuites. The home retains its original Georgian elegance blended with 1890's Victorian architecture, showcasing soaring ceilings, timber fireplaces, ornate staircase balustrades, pressed tin ceilings and exquisite stained glass-all tastefully paired with modern comforts.
Adding to the charm is "The Granary", a fully self-contained one-bedroom cottage that once served as a grain store for the 1822 water mill. Modernised in keeping with the charm and its unique heritage, the cottage is ideal for guests or as source of extra income. The old water mill, known as "Terry's Mill", still stands tall in part and is a standout reminder of a bygone era, but one well documented in the history books as the site for one of Tasmania's earliest mills. Today, the predominant and structurally sound remains of this incredible water mill have melded into the garden landscape, never to be forgotten and much admired by all who visit "Tynwald".
