'Prospect House' is one of Tasmania's significant early Colonial Georgian country houses. Positioned on the Northern side of Clyde Hill, it overlooks the historic township of Hamilton, surrounding farmland and River Clyde. Originally named 'Acacia Cottage', it was built by convict labour on land granted to James Triffett in 1824. The house was further extended in 1834 for the district surgeon, Dr John Sharland, who named it 'Prospect'. Today, the house is testament to one of the best surviving works by colonial architect Edward Winch.

Prospect House has been fully restored and retains some of the finest architectural features found in Tasmania including the stone work, cedar joinery, internal shutters, regency and marble fireplaces, French doors and the pedimented wings added in 1834, considered rare in Australia.
