Built by William Blyth, who renamed the area Bushy Park after purchasing the massive acreage between the Styx and Derwent rivers c1850. He went on to establish agriculture in the district including introducing hops. About 1865, Blyth’s son sold “Bushy Park” to Eberneezer Shoobridge who created the hop industry that survives until this day. So, if you have ever wondered what it was like for the Landed Gentry of that time, “Roslyn” a 550m2(60sq) historic home, with its 7 bedrooms, cavernous living areas, grand hall and stairs plus 22 beautiful acres of mostly pasture, will give you an insight into a bygone era. The home has been recently renovated adding another 4 bathrooms. (one each for the upstairs dormer bedrooms) Looking out from the property, you will survey relaxing rural scenes that have changed little since the time of the pioneers. Just 15 minutes from Historic New Norfolk c 1807 with its array of trendy cafes, antique stores, historic pubs and great shopping, “Roslyn” will deliver the iconic Tasmanian lifestyle. Mt Field is just a quick drive away too, with its wonderful waterfalls, ski fields, and bush walks. With all these attractions so close at hand, its no wonder “Rosyln” has been a successful BandB over the recent past, adding yet another chapter to is colourful history. You too can earn a nice little income if you would like to continue on the BandB trade. ( BandB Chattels could be made available if required) Otherwise, this will make a grand family home that can be passed down the generations.
