Famous Australian brewer's former home is on the market for the first time
The Tasmanian estate in Launceston was built in 1902 by J & T Gunn.
It was first owned by local banker Robert McEachern, and later passed through the hands of Mr Boag - the third of three identically named men who ran Boag's Brewery.
The five-bedroom home in Newstead has had many owners since, but has never previously been the subject of a public sales campaign.
Bushby Creese's George Bushby launched the property on August 15.
"It's always sold quietly or off-market, so it's pretty special that it's made it to market," he said.
"It really should set a new benchmark and record for Newstead."
The brick home has expansive first-floor balconies and a build size of 489 square metres.
It's one of just six homes on Pen-Y-Bryn Place, which is one of the rarer addresses around Greater Launceston.
The nearby and aptly-named Short Street - which has just two residential addresses, 2 and 4 - is one of few examples of a city street with fewer houses.
"It'd be one of the more exclusive streets in Newstead in terms of the amount of homes, and they're quite substantial - on the bottom side they're nice big blocks [with] internal drives," Mr Bushby said.
"It's a pretty exclusive address being set back off Elphin Road, up on the hill with mountain views and a lot of sun."
According to online portals, Newstead's sale record belongs to 11 Campbell Street, which sold for $2 million in 2022.
The historic former home of renowned brewer James Boag III is finally for sale.

TMK set for production from seven wells at Mongolian gas field
TMK Energy has completed its seventh and final pilot production well at its giant Gurvantes XXXV coal seam gas (CSG) project in Mongolia's South Gobi Basin. The company says it is now poised to bring all seven wells to optimal production rates in the Lucky Fox area by the end of August, accelerating its reservoir depressurisation efforts to unlock final commercial gas flows at the pilot production area. The Lucky Fox 7 (LF-07) well is currently undergoing final commissioning and production is expected to commence in the coming days. The company has utilised its onsite resources to perform essential maintenance on the neighbouring LF-06 well, which involved cleaning the downhole pump and clearing fill to prevent future interruptions at fully depressured commercial flows. Production at LF-06 is now reinstated. All seven active wells at the Lucky Fox Pilot project now have operational redundancy, meaning that all capital costs are accounted for and the reservoir will only require maintenance to manage production. Commissioning LF-07 will provide TMK with critical data on reservoir pressure reduction at its location, which is about the same distance from the company's LF-01, LF-02 and LF-05 wells. The desorption pressure must be consistent across the pilot reservoir area to return a smooth commercial gas flow following dewatering. TMK will now shift its focus to operational efficiency and strategic partnerships over its mammoth project. The company is looking for project partners to co-fund the next phase of development at Gurvantes XXXV, 50 kilometres from China's Shivee Khuren border, to streamline logistics and enhance cost-effectiveness. Spanning a gargantuan 8400 square kilometres, Gurvantes XXXV hosts Mongolia's largest 2C contingent resource of 1.2 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of natural gas and a prospective resource of 5300 billion cubic feet (BCF). The project offers massive strategic value to Mongolia, as the largely coal-dominated country accelerates its transition to cleaner energy. TMK's project is a central pillar to meeting the nation's domestic demand. The company is simultaneously tapping into northern China's robust energy infrastructure. It recently entered a strategic alliance with Beijing-based J-Energy to enhance the project's technical and logistical capabilities towards full commercialisation. With all seven wells set to reach optimal production by the end of the month, TMK has cleared the final hurdle to demonstrate commercial viability at Gurvantes XXXV. It is now prioritising strategic, high-quality partnerships to establish itself as a dependable natural gas supplier for Mongolia's domestic market and the region's energy network.

WNBL add Tasmanian club, push for 10-team comp
The reformed WNBL will add two new teams, including a Tasmanian franchise, to form a 10-club competition next year. The Tasmania JackJumpers were awarded the license on Tuesday, fresh off the NBL club's 2021 arrival, 2024 title and last season's sold-out home season. But the women's outfit, set to be part of a 10-team 2026/27 campaign, will carry a different name and logo which is yet to be finalised. It'll be the first time the league has featured a Tasmanian-based team since 1996, when the Hobart Islanders' 10-year stint ended. "This is an incredibly proud day for this club and for the state of Tasmania," JackJumpers boss Christine Finnegan said. "We are so proud to expand the club to now have an inspirational and aspirational pathway for both girls and boys. "We've seen what the JackJumpers have done for the community and how the community have embraced the team. "Now we'll have a women's team that brings that same spirit, pride and passion to the women's game at the highest national level." Australia's longest-running elite domestic women's sports competition has been an eight-team league since 2016. That looked under threat when some teams baulked at conditions earlier this year, as Basketball Australia prepared to relinquish majority ownership to the NBL and Wollemi Capital Group Syndicate. Five-time champions Adelaide have since struck a deal with the South Australian government to stay alive and the league has launched its search for a 10th club to join newcomers Tasmania. In April the league announced a new, four-year deal that will more than double the WNBL's minimum wage as part of a new collective bargaining agreement that creates pay parity with the NBL. The Opals have won three silver and three Olympic bronze medals while Australians are prominent in the surging WNBA. "With the new energy, investment, and passion in the WNBL, it is the right time for Tasmania to return to the league," WNBL boss Jennie Sager said. "We thank the JackJumpers for believing in our vision and backing the future of women's basketball. "With one-in-five girls playing basketball in this country, this new team helps increase opportunities and inspire a new generation of girls to dream big."
