1439 Grasstree Hill Road, Richmond TAS 7025

Perched at the top a gentle sloping hill overlooking lush fair fields of farmland and valleys of vines sits this beautiful homestead on the historic property known locally as Glen Ayr.

With convict cut sandstone footings rescued and restored from the original home which was higher up the property and built in the 1800's and belonged to the famous 19th century politician and author Bassett Dickson. This historic piece of country paradise is sure to impress!

Comprising of four large bedrooms, large county kitchen and living, entertaining courtyard, separate studio and shed. As soon as you step inside this home you are immersed with its charm, style and a feeling of calm just like a moment of yore.


From the moment you drive up the driveway towards the large frontage you will feel right at home in this sacred spot, upon entering you will be welcomed by a wide hallway, natural timber floors and high ceilings all complemented by its old-world charm and fresh native air.
The home offers flexible living options with the front room ideal as a formal sitting room or as a fourth bedroom with feature bay window which frames the outdoor landscape.

The remaining three bedrooms are spacious and have plenty of room for storage, any of these could be suitable as a master suite, one of the rooms featuring a private sunroom / reading sanctuary.

Further down the hall you will find the entertaining zone filled with natural light and country charisma. The country kitchen equipped with a Smeg 90cm oven and gas cooktop and a split cycle air conditioner allows for all year comfort as well as a stylish wood heater which adds winter ambience and warmth. This is space flows out to the most wonderful undercover entertaining area and a separate studio or large rumpus.
