Last Listing description (January 2017)
When you visit Ross, you take a step back in time it quite simply is an historic town like no other in Tasmania.
Presented to the market are 3 properties with adjoining boundaries, yet on 3 separate titles.
Each can be sold separately. (no this price does not include the 3)
The main residence is an 1835 2 bedroom character cottage on 2564m2 of land, packed with features from the pressed tin ceilings, reading room or library, regal dining room with fireplace, large living room with heat pump, wood heater and captures winter sun. It was once used in the 1840's as a bakery and some of the old oven wall is still present.
- 2 heat pumps, 2 wood heaters
- working fireplaces, gas fire, gas/electric oven
- NBN connected which is a real plus for businesses
- The property is zoned part Local business and part General Residential and all within the heritage
precinct.
Attached to the home is a large shop front that was once a butcher's shop. The current owners converted it in 2004 from a small shop and bedroom into a caf /retail store specialising in tea, hence the T Spot was born. It could be utilised again as a coffee shop, gifts, art gallery or what comes to mind would also be self contained accommodation, granny flat or a large rumpus room.
Secondly, we have adjoining, two further options with a large vacant allotment of 7725m2 which can boast being one of the last remaining largest blocks near the town centre and may well have further accommodation development potential.
On the last title is a cedar country style, self contained cabin on 4171m2. It has had a lucrative history as holiday accommodation achieving solid returns. It's insulated, has heating, gas cooking and is situated just a stroll to the main town centre.
When I asked the owner's opinion on Ross she commented - 'It seems quite surreal at times, a step back in time with its wonderful Georgian buildings, its colourful history, the tranquil Macquarie River and of course that amazing iconic bridge. We have enjoyed being a part of the community with its wonderful mix of locals and blow-ins from all over the world. A place where people are trusting and if you are not home someone takes your bins out for you. You can live a very peaceful and quiet life or take part in various social activities that happen regularly.'
