A gracious 214m2 double brick, circa 1861 colonial gem surrounded by 8,021m2 of land, some of which has good separate subdivision potential for several level allotments (STCA).
One of Kingston's original farmhouses, the "Whitewater" property today lends it's name to the current surrounding Whitewater Creek residential development.
It is a pleasure to present this wonderful remnant of the early Tasmanian colonial period and part of Kingston's historic past, for what may be only the second time in over 165 years.
Automatic gates allow access along a white gravelled driveway, which directs you to the front open verandah, and a solid, original, and welcoming front door, with glazed fanlight, that provides access to a wide entry hall, off which 4 spacious bedrooms and an office are accessed. Each of the front rooms have double French doors to access onto the front verandah. There is one ensuite bathroom and one general bathroom.
The rear section of the house is dedicated to a spacious open plan kitchen, living, and dining area. This leads you to an enclosed conservatory and a rear open verandah/deck which is accessed through the conservatory and from rear timber stairs.
As one would expect of a colonial homestead, fireplaces are in all the bedrooms and there is a modern combustion wood heater in the living area, also supplemented by electronic panel heating.
Overall land size of the property is 8,021m2 which has two distinct areas.
There is a well-maintained house site, which is level and landscaped to provide maximum privacy.
There are still remnants of the past orcharding history of the property represented by massive almost "artistic form" pear trees over 4 metres tall, to be found on the site close to the homestead.
The driveway from the Hollyhock entrance starts at the front auto gates and terminates in a turning circle and a gravelled parking area, in front of a 4-bay iron clad garage/storage area and auto doors. A fully enclosed (good to keep the critters out) raised garden bed patch, which is irrigated by water gravity fed from the shed and conservatory roofs.
There is also a rear entrance to the property off Trout Court.
There is an active upside to this property in that there is an additional surplus Residentially Zoned land which could, with council approval, be subdivided into a number of residential allotments, while still retaining the integrity of the colonial patina of the original homestead. Sales of allotments in the Whitewater Park development currently are fetching in the order of approaching half a million dollars.
This property may not appeal to everybody, but for those who can recognise the charm and the opportunity, it will reap the pleasure of a solid family home, with "future wealth" invested in the potential for further development of the additional land (STCA).
For successful small to medium-size builders, or budding developers, it could be your own peaceful and secluded homestead, a personal land bank, and superfund all in one.
How good an opportunity is this?
For Sale by Expressions of Interest - closing 26 August 2026.
