Originally built by the Geeves Family in the 1800s, the grand historical residence of Hillcrest is as old as the township itself. Being a residence of prominence in Geeveston for many years, Hillcrest has served many purposes. From humble beginnings as four-room cottage for the timber mill manager, the present day residence was built in the late 1800s as a guest house. Hillcrest has since been used to host local community meetings, such as the inaugural Geeveston CWA, and the staging location for many rescue missions for walkers lost on Hartz Mountain. Since the mid 1900s and continuing on today, Hillcrest is being used a private residence.

After years of neglect, Hillcrest has undergone a complete professional restoration.
Comprised of 17 separate completely renovated rooms over two levels and with double wrap around verandahs, modern bathrooms and kitchen, the attention to detail and workmanship to recreate the original residence incorporated with modern conveniences is a credit to the owners.

Set on 4.6 acres with the original stables and completely new fencing, the land is being used as a well-established hobby farm. There is a large workshop / garage which would be ideal as a workshop for any kind of trade given the space, storage and amenities provided.

The land is zoned residential and has potential for a multi block subdivision stca, offering a great potential future return on investment, but it is highly likely someone will want the acres around them to live out their rural lifestyle dreams.

Currently running sheep and chickens and with a variety of producing fruit trees, Hillcrest offers that walk in and enjoy your new lifestyle option. All the hard work has been done. There is a comprehensive spec sheet on renovations as well as interesting historical articles in the Mercury from over 100 years ago, along with some 1905 pics and some before the renovation images for those that would enquire (incredible to see the transformation).

Hillcrest is an iconic part of a Geeveston which itself is going from strength to strength. Hillcrest is located within the heart of Geeveston, being on two minutes walk away from the local town centre. Geeveston boasts an award winning butcher, bakery, cafes, supermarket, library, post office, pharmacy, hardware store, forestry centre and medical centre.
