1 Tynwald Road, New Norfolk, Tas 7140

"Tynwald" is a remarkable Georgian/Victorian mansion steeped in Tasmanian history, nestled on approximately 11.4 private acres of picturesque riverside land just 30 relaxing minutes from Hobart.  A former bed and breakfast establishment and cherished family home, this grand estate is now ready for a new and exciting chapter, having been lovingly and meticulously restored by the current owner in recent years!   You will fall in love with the stunning location, the quality, stylish yet sympathetic restoration and the undeniable sense of grandeur and space few homes can provide.

Dating back to the 1830s, "Tynwald" is one of Tasmania's hidden architectural gems. Overlooking the tranquil River Derwent and adjoining the scenic esplanade walking track into New Norfolk, the property offers both serenity and connection, perfectly blending natural beauty with historic charm.

The main residence spans over 460sqm across three spacious levels, offering up to nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms-four with ensuites.   The home retains its original Georgian elegance blended with 1890's Victorian architecture, showcasing soaring ceilings, timber fireplaces, ornate staircase balustrades, pressed tin ceilings and exquisite stained glass-all tastefully paired with modern comforts.   

Adding to the charm is "The Granary", a fully self-contained one-bedroom cottage that once served as a grain store for the 1822 water mill.  Modernised in keeping with the charm and its unique heritage, the cottage is ideal for guests or as source of extra income.   The old water mill, known as "Terry's Mill", still stands tall in part and is a standout reminder of a bygone era, but one well documented in the history books as the site for one of Tasmania's earliest mills. Today, the predominant and structurally sound remains of this incredible water mill have melded into the garden landscape, never to be forgotten and much admired by all who visit "Tynwald".
