Built circa 1878, this grand home is a blend of old-school charm and character with a carefully considered modern revitalisation.

Windarra is not just a home. It claims the title of the longest continually running bed and breakfast in Launceston. The lucky new owner of the property can continue the business or keep a quieter life and convert the dwelling into a large, family home.

It was built by J & T Gunn who are responsible for some of Launceston’s most historically revered buildings.

Bowerbank Mill is touted “as unique as Tasmania itself” – a soaring historical building of four levels with a distinctive six-storey chimney.

The property is set against the backdrop of the Great Western Tiers Mountains and served a past life as a flour mill for the budding colony, providing a needed economic boost to the area.

It has since been converted into a home with a free-standing cottage serving as an art gallery and gift shop, displaying some of the state’s quality arts and crafts.

Lush, flowering gardens of roses and spring bulbs connect the main dwelling with two smaller cottages.

The home is north-facing, capturing the Tasmanian sunlight. There are 10 bedrooms to choose from and a spacious attic for storage on the top floor.

The sleek structure is visible from a kilometre away.

Inside is complete with the latest technology including C-Bus system, solar panels and a security system accessible remotely.

The highlight has to be the vistas over the countryside stretching over Ulverstone and the Bass Strait. Glass balcony panels have been cleverly used to ensure the view from the home’s full-height windows is not interrupted.

Freshwater Point, built circa 1824 on land named by Captain Matthew Flinders, is Tassie tranquility at its finest.

The sprawling 3.1 hectares plays host to one primary dwelling with a dramatic wrap-around verandah, and three self-contained cottages. There is also a pinot noir vineyard, a 30-metre jetty and solar panel-heated saltwater pool.

The historic homestead has been beautifully maintained over the centuries with modern additions where appropriate, including the kitchen.

There are sweeping garden views through french doors and windows that reach the River Tamar’s waters.

Branthwaite, built circa 1830, is a colonial-era property on one of Hobart’s tightly held streets.

Since its construction, there have been a number of upgrades to the home including the addition of sandstone wings to the core structure in 1840, and a large restoration project in 2001.

This included an overhaul of the original wiring and plumbing, repainting the home to match its original colour scheme, and reinstating french doors throughout.

The current owners have carefully cared for the property’s 1840s reimagined gardens. Gravel pathways weave throughout the grounds to meet at a central fountain with rose and hydrangea bushes throughout.
