'Wetmore' - Tasmanian Heritage c1878

This private country home was built in the Victorian Gothic Revival style, constructed from a combination of brick & sandstone. Its distinct steeply pitched roof, front facing gables and the homes ornate details are some of the unmistakable characteristics of this era.

Amazing to live in but also what an exciting opportunity for someone to convert the property into luxury accommodation. What a chance to share this amazing and totally unique home with guests from around the globe. The rich historical significance of Wetmore, with its timeless architecture and stories of past years, sets the mood for an unforgettable guest experience (STCA).

The home has been meticulously restored and skillfully modernised with no expense spared with all rooms retaining the classic features associated with the Victorian Gothic period – sumptuous window treatments, grand fireplaces inset with patterned tiles, 14ft ceilings, wonderfully deep base boards, ceiling roses and picture rails.

Handwoven carpets from England, imported marble mantels from Italy and chandeliers from Germany – this home is fitted out with the best from around the world.

Generously proportioned, Wetmore offers 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms of which 2 are en-suites + a powder room, 6 living spaces and several utility rooms.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the enormous country style kitchen with its vast counters and cupboards, brand new quality appliances and enough area for informal dining and living.

A brand-new hydronic heating system installed throughout the whole home will keep the winter chill at bay and no country homestead would be without a wood burning combustion heater – here you have 2, one in the library and one in the kitchen area.

Set on 3.2 hectares (approx.) of simply stunning gardens which are particularly beautiful during the spring months, the outdoor space of Wetmore is nothing but impressive.

The gardens are both elegant and whimsical. An abundance of flowering annuals & perennials joyfully planted together create maximum visual impact. Neatly clipped hedges and topiary, meandering walkways and formal sandstone paths interspersed with towering English trees and wisteria covered arbors are a delight. Look closely and you may even see the original swimming pool hidden behind a green wall of ivy.

Located 5 minutes’ drive from the much-revered historic town of Ross this property is a credit to its owners dedication to ensuring Wetmore can be enjoyed for the years to come.
