Terenure/13511 Tasman Highway, Swansea TAS 7190

Circa 1909, ’Terenure’, once a gracious homestead on the outskirts of seaside Swansea, has made the transition to a modern era Airbnb accommodation business among the enticing vineyards of the pristine Tasmanian East Coast.

The 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Federation style residence on the banks of the Meredith River is set among English gardens with an orchard growing in rich alluvial soils with water rights. On a 2.5 ha title of near level land, ’Terenure’ has been tastefully restored to cater for guests with up to 3 rooms available for overnight stays.

The home blends the traditional ambience of classic period mantles and cornices, polished Tasmanian oak floors and a still functional open fire place in the beautiful lounge room, with French doors opening to the garden, contemporary modern bathrooms, heating systems and a later addition dedicated guest lounge with bi-fold doors. A spacious country kitchen with rare celery top pine cabinet work and a skylight offers a selection of modern Smeg and Fisher & Paykel appliances including a large upright, stainless steel gas range.

The historic Swansea township sits mid point between Launceston and Hobart and is a hub for busy East Coast tourists travelling to the Freycinet Peninsula, Douglas Apsley or Maria island National Parks along the ’Great Eastern Drive’ Tasman Highway or further north to the Bay of Fires. Early settlers constructed some impressive stone homes in the 1800s for which Swansea is renowned as it is also for a seaside location enabling trade with the port of Hobart way back then.

A sea change awaits! Join the queue of new settlers seeking peace and affordable independence with a character home and business in the Tasmanian temperate climate.
