Expressions of Interest
A Rare Sanctuary:
Stepping onto this property, you leave the pace of modern life behind. Set on 1.77 hectares that formed part of an original early-1800s land grant, The Old Farmhouse offers a rare sense of history and calm, where everyday noise gives way to the quiet of another era.
Cherished by the same family for close to 60 years, this is the first time in generations that the property has been offered to the market. It is a rare opportunity for a new family to write the next chapter in its story.
Park-like gardens, grassy river flats, towering established trees and terraced walkways surround the homestead. For children, it is a playground dream: wide open lawns to run on, trees to climb, hidden corners to explore and room for cubby houses, bikes and endless adventures. It is hard to believe that such a private and peaceful setting sits so close to the centre of Kingston, with its golf course, shops, cafés, schools, beaches and services.
Location:
The estate offers convenient access to the Southern Outlet, with the Hobart CBD approximately 10 minutes' drive away, traffic permitting. It is an easy, quick commute for professionals who want a quiet retreat without giving up city connectivity.
Subdivision Potential:
A two-lot subdivision of the property is well advanced, with final approval currently pending. Once finalised, this will give the incoming owner valuable flexibility. Holding the second lot as a long-term land investment or, subject to planning and building approvals, build a separate residence suited to multi-generational living, extended family or friends.
Outbuildings and Infrastructure:
The grounds include a range of versatile outbuildings suited to family, creative or lifestyle use.
The Historic Barn: Full of original texture and character, the barn has undergone internal structural stabilisation works. It has been the setting for treasured family weddings and celebrations, and it offers a truly memorable space for gathering loved ones.
The Studio:
A separate, contemporary pavilion of approximately 90 square metres. It could serve as a professional workspace, gallery, creative studio or wellness space. Attached to the studio is a room currently used as a wine cellar, which could equally serve as a storeroom. There is also an attached single-bay garage that provides a handy workshop and storage area.
Garaging:
A three-bay garage offers generous undercover parking for the family's vehicles.
The Homestead:
Dating from circa 1830 and thoughtfully added to over the years, the homestead offers approximately 274 square metres of internal living space. It is a comfortable, welcoming family home with a warm and relaxed feel, where original character sits easily alongside later additions and tasteful updates. The floor plan offers space to gather as a family as well as quiet places to retreat.
Living and entertaining: A formal dining room and a generous lounge and dining area provide room for family meals and entertaining friends. A separate library offers a cosy second living space. The kitchen provides ample workspace for the keen cook.
Accommodation: There are four well-appointed bedrooms, together with a home study. The main bedroom includes its own private sitting area.
Work and amenities: A separate, quiet study is ideal for working from home. The home also has two bathrooms.
Outdoor Living:
The lifestyle extends outdoors to a heated saltwater swimming pool framed by an attractive patio and entertaining area.
Whether you are relaxing by the pool, wandering the river flats or watching the children play beneath the old trees, the defining feeling is one of privacy and stillness. Kingston's conveniences sit just beyond the gate.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a enviable country estate in the heart of Kingston.
