ROSENEATH at Ross was built in approximately 1851 with later extensions between 1910 and 1930. Its construction is sandstone and brick. Known originally in the 1800′s as Mauresque, the property is located on the immediate outskirts of the historic township. There is a total area of 31 hectares (77 acres or thereabouts) which is comprised of 4 land titles, among the first to be granted in the district and it is typical of Northern Midlands grazing land. It is well fenced into small paddocks. All 4 titles enjoy Macquarie River frontage.

Well maintained buildings on the estate includes:
The Homestead – 12 rooms include a formal dining, lounge, library, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large kitchen and cellar. Structural features include sandstone walls, Australian cedar, early Colonial architecture and flagstone flooring. The home also features a back to base security system.

Rosebud cottage, a 2 storey sandstone building, currently used as an office space or accommodation.

Bacon’s Cottage (circa 1840) stands alone on pastured land closer to the Macquarie River, a solid stone building which could be renovated as fishing accommodation.

Other capital infrastructure includes a shearing shed, sheep stud shed and meeting rooms, a large steel construction storage shed with lockup workshop, triple bay timber clad Dutch barn and a double bay car garage.

The location of Roseneath is quite unique being situated on the outskirts of the historic Ross village, the home of the National Wool Museum and in the heart of Tasmania’s Midlands sheep grazing district.
The offering of Roseneath will generate interest from those buyers looking to;
- commute to Launceston and Hobart, as it is approximately half way between the 2 cities
- operate a base for a state wide rural business for livestock/equine/stud stock enterprise
- offer accommodation to travellers or visitors staying in the centrally located historic Midlands for trout fishing or deer shooting
- appreciate the quality of heritage architecture for a lifestyle on acreage
