Settler Edward Bowden built 'Slate Cottage' for his wife Dinah in 1836 in the emerging rural township of Bothwell, on the Clyde River about 1 hour from the city of Hobart by road. The cottage features classic, 6 panel cedar doors, a fan light at the grand entrance and cedar window frames with reeding and bulls eye engraving seldom found in smaller homes of the era. Timber stairs lead to a small attic area offering a third bedroom or private studio area upstairs.
The vendors have used the cottage for colonial accommodation since 2003 but are ready now to take their retirement and pass this treasure into the care of others who will nurture and continue the journey of this piece of the national estate. Buyers are invited to review a 2013 engineering survey which gives rise to several recommendations for the on going care of the building.
Among many noteworthy attributes today the prosperous agri-district of Bothwell is celebrated for a wonderful collection of substantial heritage buildings, 'Ratho' Australia's oldest golf course and golf museum, the 'Nant Whisky' distillery housed in a former water powered flour mill built in 1857 and as the gateway to world class fresh water fishing and hunting in the Highlands of central Tasmania.
Whether you seek an inexpensive country retreat or a small heritage home to retire to - Slate Cottage offers terrific potential for further restoration of the residence and development of over acre of grounds in a peaceful setting.
