Property for sale | Calstock Estate, Tasmania, Australia

Acknowledged as one of the nation's finest examples of Georgian design, long regarded as one of Tasmania's most treasured properties, Calstock has played a prominent role in the rural sphere, in the thoroughbred racing world and in hospitality space during its rich history.
More recently, this spectacular c1831 property has received the benefits of a renovation that has been compelling in its refinement and comprehensive in its reach. The result, stunning to look at and superb to live in, returns Calstock to its rightful place as one of Australia's most desirable country estates.
A sweeping drive with a satisfying soundtrack of crunching gravel heightens the sense of anticipation that begins with the first sights of the homestead's perfectly proportioned Georgian lines on the short drive out from the Deloraine township. As Calstock becomes closer the majesty projects itself, the character becomes more clear and the sheer beauty of the buildings and grounds leave a lasting, alluring impression.
The elegance of the verandah and clean, precise period lines precede interior spaces that start with the warm welcome of the entrance hall and immediately indicate the quality of the craftsmanship - original and contemporary - that defines Calstock dimensions. Grace and grandeur that's impressive yet not imposing complement evocative sitting and dining rooms, each retaining their marble fireplace, both enjoying romantic outlooks that enhance the invitation to entertain.
A kitchen that's modern in mood and exceptional in size features solid timber surfaces, ample storage and Miele appliances before flowing to a conservatory space for informal dining and living with garden leafiness beyond and the sky and stars above the glass at night. Dual studies or offices add to the attraction of downstairs areas that include a charming retreat and an inviting bedroom served by a sublime sub-floor heated bathroom.
Upstairs, three further bedrooms that are all accompanied by exceptional ensuites include a main bedroom of unforgettable scale and style, matched by a massive separate dressing room with bespoke joinery. Original fireplaces make their own contribution to the memorable character of all the upstairs rooms, each further distinguished by views across the wonderful grounds.
Calstock's capacity to continue fulfilling a role as one of the country's most sophisticated boutique accommodation properties is illustrated by a series of four luxurious guest bedrooms, each with its own flawless ensuite, one further enhanced by a charming accompanying sitting room, another featuring French doors to an alfresco terrace escape.
Beyond the main house and its accommodation wings, approached across the manicured backdrop, the classical stables and wool store buildings have been entirely re-imagined and re-invented. Two fully self-contained two bedroom apartments in the wool store represent perfect places for appreciating every modern luxury. They are serene sanctuaries of style.
The stables are now a fabulous venue for hosting great occasions, featuring a fully equipped commercial kitchen, a captivating, light-filled dining domain and a separate lounge that's so relaxing you may never want to leave. The presence of a flexible additional space suggests scope for use as a retail outlet, conference room - whatever purpose you prefer.
A wonderful walled kitchen garden, a rose garden, greenhouse, new 4 bay machinery shed/workshop, separate 3 car garage and carport reflect the fact that Calstock's quality extends to all its ancillary infra-structure - even the dedicated kennels are 5 star.
Surrounded by some 30 rolling acres only moments from Deloraine's shops and services, less than an hour from central Launceston, the airport and the Spirit of Tasmanian ferry terminal, this landmark property where two legendary Melbourne Cup winners - Malua and Sheet Anchor - were bred, offers the opportunity to acquire, enjoy and conserve an estate of special significance.
All the remedial work has been carried out with a total commitment to excellence and all the fittings and finishes are nothing less than first class. This is Calstock - reflective of its storied past, poised for a richly rewarding future.
