Stromness was the name given to this intriguing piece of Devonport’s history, listed on the State Heritage Councils register, for it’s noteworthy architecture circa 1908.

Positioned up on the hill overlooking the Mersey river, this property has a large well established garden set on two titles (the second title is also available). The mature deciduous trees are a joy to behold in Autumn.

The property has two outdoor living areas, the most notable is a Tuscan style piazza, cobbled, with Olive trees and an authentic pizza oven. The area is partly shaded by a large Avocado tree producing exceptional avos in January and February into March. The trimmed Fig tree is also a great producer in December. The second court yard has an even better Avocado, producing fruit in December and January. In a good year you will harvest a few hundred avos.
