We are proud to list historic Montrose House at Hagley. This wonderful home, circa 1860 presents a unique opportunity for an astute purchaser to own a piece of Tasmania’s history.

Montrose House began its life as an inn and is now a large, warm and gracious home on a tourist route to the North West Coast. Accordingly, not only does it offer substantial accommodation for a family and a lifestyle property, but opportunities for commercial development with imagination, eg bed and breakfast, wedding reception centre, restaurant, antiques, STCA.

This magnificent triple brick Georgian style home of 33 squares (approx) is on nearly two acres (approx) on two titles, and is elegantly framed by a stately entrance, fitting for a home of this stature, with established gardens including orchard, vegetable and herb gardens. It’s located twenty minutes from the major population centre of Launceston. English trees and shrubs abound and the garden comprises a charming series of micro habitats. The ambiance is of age old elegance.

Accommodation comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge room approximately 12×5 metres (large enough to accommodate the baby grand piano), and a large country style kitchen adjoining a formal dining room with high ceilings and decorative cornices and ceiling roses throughout. The entrance hallway leads to the ornate stair case to the second storey. A more recent addition of a large family bathroom is on the second floor. Two of the bedrooms upstairs have generous working fireplaces to add to the romance of the home. Large separate pantry and laundry/sewing/ironing room you can even see where the original copper sat. The utility room leads out to a covered pergola overlooking the gardens.

The grounds contain a current rare book shop in the barn, an extra large garage with three phase power, a large wood shed, a smaller shed at the front of the property, a greenhouse and chicken coop. With a small paddock for the pony and a pond for your gold fish, the list goes on.

This is quality that cannot be rebuilt. Expressions of interests are sought from history buffs with imagination!!! Inspect compare, offer, you won’t be disappointed.
