Historic mansion's once-in-a-lifetime sale

One of Australia's oldest and most historically important mansions has been listed for sale. The Tasmanian home has an asking price of $3.5 million-plus.

Woodbridge, as it's called, was built in 1825 by convicts and is located roughly 30 minutes away from Hobart in the town of New Norfolk.

Backing onto the river Derwent, the stunning heritage-listed Georgian Mansion boats real old-world grandeur and, for anyone interested, this stately homestead could also serve as a lucrative investment property.

In 2005, the beautiful abode was completely refurbished and now operates as a stylish, boutique five-star hotel.

Boasting nine en-suite rooms, a dining room, a salon, ballroom, reading room and two commercial kitchens, the Woodbridge is well and truly brimming with potential.

There's also a manager's living quarters on-site, plus a host of other features such as a riverfront pavilion, sauna and a jacuzzi.

Woodbridge is also spread over 3793-square-metres of pristine, manicured grounds.

Located in the heart of one of Tasmania's busiest tourist areas, there are plenty of nearby attractions too, including the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Salmon Ponds and the Agrarian Kitchen.

The sale of Woodbridge is being handled by John Blacklow of Knight Frank Tasmania, and anyone interested in this property and the limitless possibilities should register interest before Thursday, April 28.
