Purchase your dream and commute from either Melbourne or Sydney for half the price and double the lifestyle or from Beijing to air quality which is arguably some of the cleanest in the world.

Such is the significance and history of Fallgrove (circa 1826), that convict artist C.H.T. Constantini painted the building entitled Residence of Mr Kennedy Murray, Evandale’ in 1852. This work can be viewed in the Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts in Hobart. Kennedy Murray built Fallgrove on an original land grant from Governor Macquarie and named the building Prosperous House. Subsequent owner Thomas Fall changed the name to Fallgrove and was thought to be responsible for the Victorian additions to the building executed in the late 1800′s.

The sale of Fallgrove at Evandale in Northern Tasmania presents an opportunity to purchase a Georgian home in immaculate condition. The owners have meticulously and tastefully, restored and updated this significant historic structure to remain true to its origins while catering for the demands of a modern day lifestyle. The floor plan flows well with a configuration that would equally suit a family or an executive couple who enjoy entertaining. Formal rooms fitted with features from the Georgian era including cedar joinery and original floorboards are complimented by a kitchen and bathrooms with top of the range fixtures. The home presents 4 bedrooms (3 ensuites) including 2 guest suites and a large attic.

The private stand-alone studio featuring a mezzanine gym provides an alternative usage for an office or consulting room (STCA) completely separate from the main dwelling.

The garden with many established trees and hedges is well planted for privacy and includes an orchard and a vegetable garden. Sweeping lawns with automatic watering add to the park-like appeal.

The well-known village of Evandale with its many historic buildings is only a 15 minute drive to Launceston’s CBD. Launceston Airport is 5 minutes away enabling Fallgrove to be considered as a commuter from the mainland. Evandale hosts the famous weekend market every Sunday and annually supports the Glover Prize and the Penny Farthing Championships.
