For Sale by Expressions of Interest closing 5pm Friday 28th November - If not sold prior.

At the heart of Rosebanks is a unique collection of residences that span nearly two centuries of Tasmanian history, harmoniously blending heritage charm with contemporary architecture. Together, they offer a rare lifestyle holding – one that is as functional and flexible as it is beautiful.
The homestead is divided into three parts, Rosebanks Cottage, The Scullery & The Main Homestead.

With a current lease over most of the 405 acre property this opportunity represents a great lifestyle option for those simply wanting seclusion and privacy. The current lease expires at the start of February and the tenant is more than happy to continue to nurture this landholding.

Rosebanks Cottage - c. 1826
A classic Georgian farmhouse featuring a central panelled door flanked by double hung window, a hipped corrugated iron roof, brick chimneys with corbelling, and a charming front verandah

The Scullery - c. 1826
Originally serving as the farmhouse kitchen, this separate convict brick outbuilding has been lovingly restored into luxury guest accommodation. With designer furnishings, high end finishes, and established gardens, it currently holds all applicable approvals & operates successfully as a short stay rental (Airbnb) with potential for continued income or private guest use.

Contemporary Architectural Extension - 2025
Built by master builders, the stunning modern addition provides open plan living that embraces breathtaking views across the South Esk River, The Great Western Tiers and rolling farmland. Combining traditional timbers with innovative materials, the new wing floods the interior with natural light and offers an ideal balance of warmth, space and contemporary comfort - simply luxurious living.

Surrounding the homestead are beautifully landscaped gardens, lovingly established by the current owners over two decades. Local sandstone, convict bricks and river cobbles feature throughout the courtyard and garden walls. The grounds include traditional colonial and ornamental plantings, an heirloom stone fruit orchard, raised garden beds, and hazelnut, deciduous and evergreen hedging. Highlights include Napoleonic pear trees, a woodland of heritage nectarines, a pleached hornbeam avenue, espaliered heirloom apples, a rare Indian Horse Chestnut, and a Wollemi Pine gracing the sandstone courtyard.

The riparian revegetation area features native eucalypts including black gum, black peppermint, cabbage gum and white gum, complemented by a diverse mix of shrubs such as blackwood, hop bush, tea tree, paperbark, bottlebrush, dogwood and hakea. A dense grassy under storey of sedges, rushes, lomandra and tussock provides excellent habitat and cover for small native animals.

Rosebanks sits gracefully above a sweeping bend of the South Esk River, Tasmania’s longest, offering panoramic views across mountain ranges and the winding river as it flows toward Launceston’s Cataract Gorge. From the cottage verandah or modern picture window, nature takes centre stage — eagles, falcons, swans and platypus all share the landscape. The property provides rich habitat for wildlife, supporting threatened species such as Tasmanian Devils, Quolls, Bandicoots and Masked Owls, along with wombats, wallabies and kangaroos. A comprehensive Wildlife Management Plan has been drafted and is available on request.

Rosebanks supports a productive crossbred prime lamb enterprise, with established shelter belts, quality pastures, and excellent stock water infrastructure (dams & troughs). Fertiliser and pasture management are in place, offering scope to continue current operations, lease the land, or diversify into cropping, viticulture, or agroforestry. Full soil profiles/analysis is available on request.
Also, there are significant outbuildings on the property including a 3-stand shearing shed with adjacent bathroom/laundry, a workshop with adjoining drive through garage plus a garden shed and of course the obligatory hen house.

156 Woolmers Lane, Perth sits in a location that perfectly balances ease and escape — five minutes to Perth, ten to the airport, Evandale or Longford, and twenty to Launceston. From here, you can enjoy all the region’s charm and connectivity, without ever giving up the quiet, open feel of country life..
