59 Montagu Street, New Norfolk, Tas 7140

Built to last for generations "Hallgreen" has been lovingly refurbished by the current owners who, with their passion for architecture, design and history, have rejuvenated this landmark historic building into the elegant and aesthetically beautiful homestead its status warrants.  One of the Derwent Valley's best kept secrets and Tasmania's highly valued heritage properties, "Hallgreen" is shrouded in privacy, full of history, and beautifully presented both inside and out. 
 
A monument for future generations to appreciate and admire, the residence and gardens date back to 1825.  Spanning across two levels with a stoic stature, characteristic of Old Colonial Georgian architecture, "Hallgreen" is located on the banks of the River Derwent surrounded by over 5,700sqm of private, stunning gardens, this is an exceptional property that will take you back in time.  There is an entire lower level that, unlike the exquisite palatial accommodation above, has been respectfully preserved, taking you back to the Victorian era where servants resided beneath the main residence.  Here, you will be in awe at the original features and old world authenticity.   The beauty lies in the contrast between upstairs and down and the wealth of opportunity and potential to convert this area into future additional bedroom suites as guest rooms or potential B&B amenities.  
 
The main level is stunning!  No stone has been left unturned in the transformation that accentuates all that is graceful and charming about this gorgeous residence.  Quality chandeliers plus new vintage French oak "Versailles" pattern floorboards throughout are the initial standout features as you enter the ornate French style double doors of "Hallgreen".   The classical Georgian hallway and attention to detail is strikingly apparent along with a sense of opulence and grandeur unseen in modern day homes. 

The list of features and improvements are extensive and include automatic external perimeter lighting, monitored security, smoke alarms and camera system, double roof insulation, reticulated lawns, automatic gates and upgraded services to name a few.   A full list of additional features can be provided to prospective buyers. 
 
Each room showcases architectural features that date stamp a bygone era, beautifully highlighted by the sensitive restoration to create a luxurious yet comfortable home.  The gourmet kitchen that is of an ilk to those featured in a Designer magazine with white onyx benchtops, Smeg cooker with gas hobs and three electric ovens, English tapware faucet and sink and custom-made cabinetry is completed by a spacious butler's pantry - a space any home chef would love to spend time in!   Open plan for the practicalities of everyday living, this spacious living area opens out onto one of the two balconies, drawing you out to the magnificent gardens below. 
 
The main bedroom and ensuite across the hallway again, replicates the opulence and style amplified throughout.  Light-filled like all this level, underfloor heating, a sit-down shower and a gorgeous onyx basin set in a bomb commode vanity grace this ensuite, with an adjoining walk-through dressing room complete with mirrored built in wardrobes.  A door opens out into a private garden courtyard from here.  The three additional bedrooms each feature original working fireplaces and can be used to suit your needs.  The second bedroom is currently set up as a formal dining room.  The formal lounge near the main entrance, is ornately grand with its pressed tin ceiling, large fireplace, hand-finished curtains, new chandelier and bay windows that invite the outside in and double French doors.   
 
Reverse cycle ducted air conditioning throughout this main level is designed for year-round comfort.  Multiple formal and informal living rooms, and a versatile floorplan, you will be in awe of the space that is on offer for the new custodians to fill the same light-filled rooms with laughter and the buzz of family life.    Every room faces a view of the river, valley and surrounding hilltops and oriented to capture the sun year-round through the large picture windows.  
 
The grounds are secure, fully fenced with a huge, lush-levelled fully-reticulated lawn.  A classical ornate fountain and planter urns highlight the terrace garden.  Filled with a variety of fruit trees, herbs, flowering plants, horse chestnut trees and established pines, there is still ample room to grow your own produce and utilize the large hothouse. There's space for special events such as weddings and other family celebrations, or you can enjoy the soft lawn underfoot as you play with children and dogs or simply sit under the stunning old Magnolia tree watching the twinkling water and spectacular sunsets as the day draws to a close with a nice glass of wine.   
 
The township is within close walking distance for all you need on a daily basis, yet there is an incredible sense of seclusion when you walk inside the front gates.   If you enjoy exercising, the Esplanade walking track and local sporting facilities are close by, perfect if you have a young family who enjoy keeping fit - if they are not running around the property.  
 
Nothing has been left to chance here at "Hallgreen".  There is so much to take in and admire about this unforgettable property and all its 515sqm of floor area.   This is your chance to become the new custodians of this exclusive property that has been standing proud for the past two hundred years and will continue to do so for the next two hundred.   Situated on two titles, there are exciting opportunities for how you might use and enjoy this incredible property.  Described so lovingly by the current owners as a home of love and light, you too, will fall in love with "Hallgreen".
