Circa 1828, Rosevale, located in the visually captivating and alluring Derwent Valley, is approximately 45 minutes from Hobart. A style influenced by the early Australian settlers, Georgian architectural designs were primarily built for the estates of the landed gentry. It is easy to imagine the original owners enjoying the rich adornments of this colonial farmhouse amongst it's 25 hectares (62 acres approx.) of striking country views, expansive gardens, and surrounding fruit trees.

Reflecting timeless elegance and lovingly restored, the home has been upgraded, tastefully introducing the necessary requirements for today's modern demands.

Rosevale will appeal to lovers of history amidst beautiful, tranquil surroundings. The estate offers an aspirational family a very fortunate lifestyle whilst also being ideally suited as a retreat, Bed and Breakfast or function venue (STCA). The new barn provides additional self-contained guest accommodation/income stream; spacious, comfortable housing for intergenerational family members or an impressive business space or art studio. The chance to create and adapt the existing footprint is endless.

The main gated entry escorts you to the circular driveway in front of the homestead offering a commanding approach and sense of grandeur from days gone by. A stone flagged, covered veranda affords magnificent garden and estate views. The craftsmanship of a bygone era walks you through the stately six panelled front door to a wide foyer with original polished floorboards and an impressive bespoke blackwood staircase.

263sqm of internal floor space over two levels inspires a multitude of accommodation, living and entertaining options. Currently occupying the ground level are two living areas, a large study or home office and the original dining room, creating a wonderful space for large private gatherings or the opportunity to utilise as a rumpus or family room. The beautifully maintained and impressive country kitchen takes pride of place featuring superbly crafted stone flagged flooring and original six inch eucalypt polished timber floorboards. The stone fireplace showcases a Nectre wood heater and baking oven with an adjacent, 200 year old, fully functioning, wood fired bread oven. This 28 sqm of space provides casual dining by the fire, perfect for the family or the cooking enthusiast entertaining guests and travellers.

The newly carpeted upper level offers five bedrooms, four with vaulted plaster ceilings, original six panelled doors and open fireplaces or wood heaters. Panoramic views from the upper level are superbly captured through the original panelled windows. Two bathrooms, the main flaunts an indulgent cast iron bath, Grohe tapware and plenty of room to luxuriate.
