Hamilton's Spring Cottage, the quaint historic Brisbane garden offering
Spring Cottage, an 1870s Brisbane brick and sandstone cottage held by the same family for four generations, has been listed for sale.
It is one of the oldest houses in Brisbane, but renowned for its gardens given its ranks as one of the 10 oldest in Brisbane.
It is believed that the gardens have remained relatively untouched since they were first laid in the early 1900s.
“The only major work that is know of was in 2010 when the tenant, a qualified horticulturalist, helped to restore the garden’s original design,” said Damon Warat from Ray White Ascot.
Spring Cottage, located at 40 Crescent Road, Hamilton, is listed on the Brisbane City Council heritage register.
“The neighbouring property sold for $1.025 million in 2012 and we anticipate Spring Cottage will sell north of this figure,” Damon said.
Spring Cottage is for sale via an expressions of interest campaign closing on 22 July.
It is the first time the property has been offered for sale in 140 years.
