Last Listing description (March 2019)

Constructed by convict labour, River View Cottage (known locally as simply 'The Cottage') shares a unique story with the history of the Fingal Valley. Servicing as a Police Barracks during colonisation of Van Diemen's Land; the property later became a holding station for ticket-of- leave convicts. Many of the convicts stationed at this property would have been ordered in the construction of road from Conara Junction to Avoca. Nowadays; the Esk Main Road is one of the major arteries linking Tasmania's East Coast with the Midlands Highway via the Fingal Valley.
Local folklore witnessed a number of episodes of convict punishment on the riverbank of this property during its time as a convict station. After servicing as a ticket-of-leave station; the property became an illegal pub; but was never licensed as it remained in the ownership by the government of the day. Once the illegal pub ceased operations, the property provided a resident for the district nurse. Waiting until the St Pauls River would reside; the nurse would cross the river to an waiting horse back; to service the district with health needs.
By 1890; the home passed into private hands of the Foster family, who owned a number agricultural of properties in the Fingal Valley. The Foster's constructed the Federation style wooden extension onto the original home which featured think convict stone walls.
