Tamar House | An Exceptional Lifestyle Estate on the Tamar River
Positioned along one of Northern Tasmania's most picturesque stretches of the Tamar River, Tamar House is a remarkable lifestyle estate offering an extraordinary combination of history, character and opportunity.
Set across approximately 2.6 acres (10,600m²) of beautifully established grounds, the property enjoys magnificent gardens, captivating river views and an enviable sense of privacy, all just 15 minutes from the Launceston CBD.
What makes Tamar House particularly unique is the flexibility of two substantial, separately positioned residences, offering eight bedrooms and six bathrooms in total. Whether you're looking to accommodate extended family, establish a dual-living arrangement or explore the potential for income through short-stay accommodation, the opportunities here are significant.
One residence has been extensively renovated and thoughtfully appointed, offering four generous bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. Double glazing, reverse-cycle heating and cooling throughout, and a freestanding wood fire ensure comfort across every season. The quality of the renovations provides a wonderful balance of contemporary living and the property's original charm.
The other offers an entirely different appeal, retaining its character and warmth while presenting an exciting opportunity for future owners to add their own touches. Comprising four bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous living spaces, a sunroom and a timber deck overlooking the surrounding landscape, it's a substantial home in its own right.
Beyond the residences, the infrastructure is equally impressive. An expansive 530m² powered and plumbed shed complex incorporates a substantial main shed, additional workspace, conservatory and double garage. Three-phase power, extensive rainwater storage and an electric vehicle charging station further enhance the property's versatility.
The grounds are another outstanding feature of Tamar House. Once home to a productive pear orchard, the estate retains a wonderful connection to its history, including the original packing shed. Today, established trees, colourful gardens, productive vegetable beds and an orchard create an exceptional setting that has clearly been nurtured and enjoyed over many years. Approximately 54,000 litres of dedicated garden irrigation storage supports the extensive grounds.
Previously operated as a successful and highly regarded short-stay accommodation business, Tamar House also presents an opportunity to combine an exceptional lifestyle with a potential income stream. With two independent residences and substantial supporting infrastructure, the property lends itself to a variety of uses, subject to any necessary approvals.
And of course, there's the Tamar River itself. The magnificent outlook is a constant reminder of this property's exceptional position, with access to a private jetty adding another dimension to the lifestyle on offer.
Tamar House is a property that genuinely stands apart. Two substantial residences, magnificent established grounds, impressive infrastructure and an extraordinary waterfront setting combine to create an estate of considerable scale and opportunity.
For those seeking something beyond the ordinary, 85 Rosevears Drive represents an exciting opportunity to secure a remarkable piece of the Tamar Valley.
