Description

The magnificent convict-built country manor, Stanton, was built in 1817. It is situated on one of Tasmania's first land grant sites comprising 16 acres of pasture and orchards at Magra, in the heart of the historical and beautiful Derwent Valley. While surrounded by idyllic countryside including mountains, rivers, pasture and orchards, the property is easily accessed and only a short 5 minutes from New Norfolk and 35 minutes from Hobart.

By dint of its 188 years, the walls of Stanton have many stories to tell, the most dramatic probably concerning the day in 1843 when bushranger Martin Cash and friends arrived, held 16 people at gunpoint in the drawing room, relieved the house of its valuables, charmed the ladies present, and galloped off into the hills behind the house, where his hideout, 'Cash's Cave' exists to this day. We are fortunate in that the house has survived bushfires, storms, neglect and most damaging of all perhaps, 'modernisation', and hence retains its original simplicity and charm.

Stanton has 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The living room, dining room, extensive library, sun room, verandahs, spa house, licensed cellar, barbeque, gardens and orchards are all available to house guests.

The normal comforts of home are all here - electric heating, tea and coffee making, bar fridge, electric blanket, hair dryer, television, DVD, stereo, but also the things you go on holidays for - beautiful rooms filled with antique furniture, open fires, fresh flowers, wonderful breakfast served on lace clothes and Wedgwood china, silverware and crystal, (but most importantly, cooked by someone else and with no washing up), and all the time in the world to enjoy the pervading peace and tranquility of a time past (without the bushrangers!) We look forward to sharing our home with you...............Helen & Mark McDiarmid

Guest Reviews

 
  • "Absolutly beautiful. Mark and Helen are the most delightful hosts. We enjoyed the whole ambience. BBQ facility was handy, great library, including port. The home is just incredible. Clean modern bathrooms and Magra is right next to New Norfolk just 30minutes from Hobart. Lots to do..or do nothing."
