Marchington is a grand country estate, offering an enviable rural lifestyle in Northern Tasmania just a short drive from Launceston's CBD. 

The story of Marchington goes back to 1821 and a parcel of land originally granted to free settler John Smith: a gentleman who, according to legend, had royal connections to King George IV. 

Today, the elegant residence is positioned privately at the end of a long tree-lined driveway, surrounded by manicured parterre gardens, with rural views that encompass the award-winning vineyard of Josef Chromy Wines.

Agent Justin Brown of 42degrees Hobart told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “The attention to detail is incredible, with easily maintained grounds and garden incorporating tennis court, swimming pool and rural views.”

The residence was designed by owner Robert Knott of Sign-Pro, a global corporate design business. Knott has, among other things, supplied design concepts for some of the world’s leading hotels, including the Palazzo Versace hotel in Dubai.

European influences extend to the interior’s decor and design, which features multiple generous living spaces, a sunny aspect and verdant views. On the first floor, the opulent master suite enjoys a private balcony overlooking the countryside.  

The garden provides for extensive recreational amenity, with outdoor entertaining courtyard, a tennis court and swimming pool. Beyond, the grounds offer the opportunity to plant vines or an orchard or keep livestock. 

A large studio adjacent to the main home provides a quiet retreat or, as now, a commercial operation.

Says Brown, “The property could be used as a residential hideaway or for commercial purposes such as weddings or short-term high end accommodation.”

Marchington is located a short drive from Launceston's CBD, within easy reach of the Launceston Airport and less than two hours from Hobart.
