Famous Australian brewer's former home is on the market for the first time
The historic former home of renowned brewer James Boag III is finally for sale.
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.
