The Setting
Set within a scenic valley, Musgrove combines its rich historical story with the comforts of modern rural living. Just a short drive to Sorell and within easy reach of Hobart, this property provides the perfect balance of peaceful country life and everyday convenience.
A Rare Legacy
Set across 401 acres in its earliest form, Musgrove has been in the Murray family since 1860, when William and Charlotte Murray first built the sandstone-and-timber homestead beside a natural watercourse. Generations farmed sheep, orchards and dairy here, producing butter under the "Sunset" brand and supplying the Sorell community. Over time, the property modernised, yet always remained a sanctuary of peace, resilience and family connection. Today, owning Musgrove is not just acquiring a home, but becoming part of Tasmania's living history.
