There is something truly special about Sponsford. Set amidst rolling pastures and framed by the peaceful beauty of the Tasmanian countryside, this remarkable rural holding offers a rare combination of history, productivity and lifestyle. Originally named after pioneering colonist Zachariah Sponsford, a Third Fleet convict who settled in the district during the early 1800s, the property carries a rich legacy that continues to unfold.
At the centre of the farm stands the original homestead, a cherished reminder of days gone by and an exciting opportunity for restoration and preservation. Nearby, a welcoming four-bedroom family home provides comfortable country living, with multiple living spaces, an abundance of natural light and a warmth that instantly makes you feel at home. The generous country kitchen is the true hub of the house, offering plenty of storage and space for preparing hearty family meals, while the northerly aspect fills the home with sunshine from dawn until dusk.
Spanning approximately 100.7 hectares (248 acres), the land is a beautiful tapestry of productive pasture, pockets of light bushland and open spaces that invite exploration. Three dams and seasonal creeks provide an excellent water supply for livestock, gardens and farming pursuits, while the surrounding landscape creates a sense of peace and freedom that only country living can offer.
The farm infrastructure has been thoughtfully established to support a variety of rural enterprises. Improvements include the original homestead, machinery shed, shearing shed, hay barn, double garage, garden sheds, dog run and two charming chook yards, where fresh free-range eggs can become part of everyday life. It's the sort of property where simple country pleasures are still enjoyed and self-sufficiency is within easy reach.
Whether your dream is to run livestock, establish a vineyard, cultivate horticultural crops, pursue equestrian interests or simply embrace a quieter life on the land, Sponsford presents an exceptional opportunity. Rich in character, blessed with natural resources and steeped in history, this is more than a farm - it's a place to create memories, continue a legacy and enjoy the timeless rewards of country living.
