If you are looking for traditional-styling and modern comfort in a luxury country residence... then welcome to ?Cilbrook?.

Situated in a no through road off Acton Road, lined with a Council maintained Heritage listed hedgerow, this 'lifestyle acreage' comprises a 2.1 hectare (5 acre approx) parcel of the former sprawling "Cilwen Estate" (c1835), widely renowned as one of the optimal 'micro growing-climates' in Tasmania and home to some of the finest soils. The grounds have the added benefit of shelter from 260 metres of creek vegetation and a beautiful lilly covered pond which aids irrigation and attracts native birds. Spectacular in full Spring blossom, the property boasts a heritage rose collection in the landscaped garden and a mix of native and European trees have been carefully planted for maximum aesthetic appeal around the property.

This beautiful Georgian Style villa is fitting for such a beautiful site with its sandstone coloured wash complete with French style windows and doors. The home is a fabulous mix of old and new, it exudes a timeless ambience. This style of house I believe wont ever go out of fashion. The front of the house with its sandstone verandah and line of French styled double doors is something to behold. The verandah runs along two sides of the house and offers a large undercover area of 53 square metres."
