Stepping onto this quaint country estate is like taking a journey back in time with its elegantly manicured gardens, English manor-like home and period-style décor.
Despite feeling like you’re in the middle of the English countryside, the stunning estate is tucked away among the rolling hills of Riverside, only 15 minutes from the centre of Launceston, Tasmania and is reminiscent of Kate Winslet’s character’s cottage from the Christmas rom-com The Holiday.
Down a winding driveway and through wooden gates, the three-acre property features a double-brick country manor home with creeping vines, a double garage with a ‘coach house’ above, multiple paddocks and garages and enchanting gardens filled with lush trees and greenery.
