Nestled in one of Tasmania’s prettiest valleys Dairy Plains, is historic Bankton House Circa 1860. A substantial rural homestead situated on 5.870 hectares (14.5 acres) of rich, fertile soil.

Constructed largely of handmade convict bricks with a slate roof, Bankton is in outstanding condition. Enter a large, almost stately central hallway which reveals a selection of rooms which are generously proportioned, and give numerous options for configuration. Choose to accommodate a large or growing family, or entertain with a formal lounge and formal dining room, Bankton has flexible options.
Certainly to remain unchanged is the massive front dining room, also the casual lounge with its inbuilt wood fire and specially selected Blackwood cabinetry, which doubles as a practical study or office. Blackwood features through out the home with decorative fireplace surrounds, inbuilt robes and display cabinets, and gives a warmth and charm throughout.

Other features include:
-High ceilings, ornate cornices and ceiling decorations and original doors.
-Newly renovated farmhouse country kitchen and casual dining area.
-Two bathrooms, main with deep claw foot bath, the second an ensuite off the main bedroom.
-Quality carpets and window furnishings, front and rear verandahs for ease of entry and exit.

Outside, as you would expect is a delight. An outstanding mature garden compliments the setting, and frames features such as the solid brick double car garage with adjoining wood storage area.
Also the full sized, sealed tennis court, which connects to a BBQ area, and rich soil veggie garden. Add to this a large traditional timber shed/ workshop, which sits out back with a mature well established orchid.

Water is not only collected from the buildings but delivered from the Western Creek in abundance, so as to satisfy all domestic and stock needs.

The landscape of the 14.5 acres is relatively flat with only slight undulation. It has over time grown crops, raised premium stock and produced quality hay. Suitable for horses, or stud stock breeding, it is sure to fulfill a raft of rural options.
