Rather than owning a unit, you can own a self-contained beautifully restored c.1840 Church and a Studio on your own large landholding.

Set amidst gardens, rainforest, creek, and field, this retreat is close to Hobart, yet another world away! Bound by the kunanyi/Mount Wellington protected area, enjoy this unique sanctuary as your own home, rental, or romantic short-term accommodation.

The captivating Church features cedar windows, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, stained glass cross, spa bathroom and fernery. The mezzanine loft has a bed in it, or the loft can be used as a peaceful meditation area or for storage. East-facing French doors open onto a full-length deck that takes in the morning sun above the forest canopy. On the northern side, there is a paved entertaining area and garden that leads to a seasonal creek.

Overlooking the green, this parcel of land includes the Settlers Studio, a 19th century worker’s cottage, with hand-sawed vertical boards, original chimney and mantle-piece. Suitable for work or pleasure, this creative space is a private studio, workshop, or entertaining area.

Only 10 minutes from Hobart, this lifestyle retreat offers the best of both worlds. Fern Tree is renowned for its giant tree ferns and pristine environment with clean air, pure water and abundant native animals, plants and birds. This property is an oasis that enjoys year-round appeal and sparkling star-studded night skies.

Once a wedding reception venue, using its church, outdoor stage and gardens, the whole property known as Settlers Green, has operated as a pioneer tourist village and was the hub for local fairs. Historic stone aqueducts on one boundary carried drinking water to Hobart.
