Located in the historic agricultural township of Hamilton, on a major tourist route in the heart of Tasmania, the holding of 13-21 Franklin Place is surrounded by picturesque heritage buildings and gardens and has been upgraded with quality infrastructure capable of expanding and diversifying the current existing accommodation and hospitality business.

Set on three titles measuring a collective 1.5 acres approximately, this outstanding offering comprises two significant mid 1800’s sandstone buildings, together with a quality built 2019 studio/garage.

“Jackson's Emporium” circa 1856, is a wonderfully eclectic café and deli, offering locally produced goods for purchase plus a “garden to plate” ethos which provides a creative menu with Derwent Valley produce and seasonal offerings from the gardens on site. Fully licenced with a modern open plan kitchen and servery, the classic interior offers a quiet spot for a wine or coffee in front of the fire in the parlour or admiring the historic streetscape of Hamilton in the front dining area.

The additional accommodation includes 2-3 bedrooms, spacious attic room, bathroom and compact living space, which could be easily closed off from café operations if required - an ideal additional accommodation income stream. Please note – 13 Franklin Place is officially known as 8 Arthur Street – owners have commenced the process of officially changing it to 13.

“McCauley’s Cottage” circa 1840, has been the successful accommodation side of the business for many years. Guests enjoy the past of yesteryear combined with modern options such as underfloor heating in bathroom and an upgraded kitchen, with open fires and period features including original floorboards that have been perfectly maintained.

The main living area adjoins the kitchen, leading to a cosy lounge and through to the gracious formal lounge. Excellent reviews, and sleeping up to 7 adults – although a family weekend away would be welcomed with children able to play in the gardens and pick fresh berries!

The garage offers huge potential for studio space if not required for vehicles – 183m2 with 3 phase power, Cat 6 cabling and potential for cool room and additional storage for the existing business operations. The historic gardens provide an abundance of berries for Jackson’s to create their own ice-cream, headed up by the majestic ancient Mulberry tree – so much produce used in Jackson’s is produced in these very gardens.

Opportunities abound with this unique property – whether you choose to continue to run the combined businesses in situ, construct a new residence for yourself, or add more accommodation options on the vacant land, this property represents “opportunity” entirely.
