The house, the former mine manager's residence, has been renovated over the years to become the comfortable home it is today. It features four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open plan country kitchen and dining area that opens to a covered rear patio. The generous master bedroom includes a walk-in robe and a large separate study. In winter the house is warmed by a freestanding wood heater in the living room.

The front garden and area between the house and outbuildings are enclosed by substantial wooden fencing to provide a protected environment for children and pets.

The cleared pastures around the residence gently slope to bushland and forest, home to a variety of native animals, including wallabies, echidnas and wombats. The seasonal Valley Creek runs through the property and feeds the lake, an important wetland for birdlife, and home to platypus that may be seen diving and swimming. Wedge-tailed eagles often soar above the valley.

The Dragon Trail and Derby Fest 2020 were unfortunately cancelled as the State went into lockdown this year, but 2021 will hopefully see the return of the Enduro World Series. To quote from their website "Round two heads back to inimitable Derby, Tasmania. This tiny town has embraced mountain biking and in just a few years created one of the most iconic riding destinations in all of Australia. It'll be the third time the series has visited Derby and with good reason - their ever-expanding trail network has twice been voted the Specialized Trail of the Year".
