Set along the banks of the Jamieson River, this character-filled cottage offers a rare combination of history, privacy and riverfront living, all just a short walk from the centre of Jamieson.
Occupying a site of local historical significance, the property marks the former location of the Hibernian Brewery, established circa 1862, adding a quiet sense of heritage to an already special setting.
Originally saved and relocated from Woods Point following the 1939 fires, the home was thoughtfully rebuilt on its current site and retains much of its original charm. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, enjoying generous windows that look directly out to the river and opening onto the entertaining deck. From here, you step down into the combined living and dining area, where a fireplace provides a cosy focal point and a strong sense of warmth and character.
Three bedrooms, each with built-in robes, are comfortably positioned within the home, which has been well maintained over time, including updates to the main bathroom. Ducted evaporative cooling supports summer comfort, while a solar power system contributes to everyday efficiency without detracting from the home’s heritage appeal.
Outdoors, the setting is both generous and serene. Set on an allotment of approximately 1,809m², lush green lawns extend from the home to clear frontage along the Jamieson River. With pumping rights from the river and a high degree of privacy, the landscape becomes a natural extension of the living spaces.
Completing the property is a lock-up double garage with concrete floor and power, along with additional garden shedding, offering practical storage and flexibility. Despite the peaceful riverfront position, the home remains only a couple of minutes’ walk from Jamieson’s main street and local amenities.
Whether as a permanent residence, a relaxed weekender or a quality Airbnb opportunity, this is a rare chance to secure a genuine riverfront home in one of the High Country’s most tightly held historic townships.
