59 Montagu Street, New Norfolk, TAS, 7140

Amidst the whispering willows of the Derwent Valley, where time flows gently like the river beside it, stands a noble sentinel of Tasmania’s storied past: Hallgreen—a name etched in heritage, reborn in elegance and class.

First gracing the landscape in 1825, this Georgian masterpiece is no mere home—it is a monument of memory and mastery, lovingly restored by its discerning owners who understood its significance and responded with reverence.

Veiled in privacy and nestled within 5,731 (approx.) square metres of stately gardens, Hallgreen rests on the banks of the River Derwent as though painted there by time’s own brush. From the moment one approaches, its commanding silhouette—rooted in Old Colonial Georgian grace—stirs the imagination. Every corner of this residence speaks in the hushed tones of centuries past, although today the property is not only a grand family residence but lends itself to being developed into a reception venue, bed and breakfast or private hotel.

Below stairs, preserved in its original Victorian solemnity, lies the servant’s quarters—an untouched realm of yesteryear. Here, authenticity whispers from flagstone floors and timber beams, offering rare insight into 19th-century domestic life. This space, ripe with opportunity, beckons transformation—perhaps into elegant guest suites or a bespoke B&B—allowing new tales to be woven into the estate’s enduring narrative. Accommodation on this level includes a guest room and two bedrooms. There is also a library, the original kitchen and scullery.

Ascend to the main floor, and the transformation is truly breathtaking. Where history lingers, elegance now flourishes. Enter through grand French double doors to be greeted by vintage Versailles-pattern oak floors, shimmering chandeliers, and a classical hallway that rivals Europe’s finest. Hallgreen has not been renovated—it has been reborn, each detail infused with intention and care.

The floorplan here features a magnificent reception room, sitting room, family and dining room and two bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen, fit for an epicurean connoisseur, boasts white onyx benchtops, a regal Smeg cooker, bespoke cabinetry, and a butler’s pantry that dreams are made of.

Each bedroom is a chapter of refined living all opening from a stunning hallway with fluted cedar arches.

Outside, the gardens unfurl like a Regency poem—terraced and tranquil, adorned with fountains, fruit trees, herbs, and flowering beds. The air is fragrant with the seasons, and the soft hush of the river carries you away. Beneath the canopy of a venerable Magnolia tree, time pauses, inviting celebration, contemplation, or the quiet joy of simply entertaining family and friends.

New Norfolk with its quaint charm and convenience, you are just a short stroll from great coffee, restaurants, schools, shops and services. There is a hospital and medical facilities as well as public transport. The Hobart CBD is short 35 minute commute.
