Anyone who has marvelled at historic properties knows there is something magical about the ever unfolding nooks and crannies; the fascinating outbuildings and the patina of floorboards that have seen generations of children playing and leaving their imprint on them forever. Fairview House is one such home and farm. Restored for modern living with an elegant and timeless feel - yet retaining all of it's intrinsic character.

The 129m2 residence provides well appointed rooms and offers all the classical period details you would expect of a home handbuilt in 1900 including a brass door step, formal dining room, high ceilings, front porch and grand leadlight features.

Awarded a rare heritage protection overlay, the original butcher's building is forever enshrined in Tasmanian history. The 30m diametre heritage area around the building protects the historical values of the building which is the oldest wooden slab butcher house in Tasmania. The windlass can still be turned which drive the mechanisms inside - it is a fascinating piece of history which you will be the custodian of.

However the abounding beauty of Fairview extends beyond the home. Positioned on just under 21 acres, there are established low maintenance gardens filled with deciduous and native trees surrounding the home and tea rooms. Paying tribute to the historic heart of the home, the original barns have been restored beautifully and in recent years were used as a visitor centre and tea rooms with an outdoor beer garden overlooking the well fenced paddocks - but imagine other uses for them from storage, man cave, barn dances and more. Trevor the fire engine is right at home on the property and will remain to protect the farm.

Recent additions to the home include a 4 bay machinery shed, stables and the installation of exceptional fencing and gates across the property - complete with high quality feed troughs as well as an all abilities accessible toilet.
