This landmark building is by far the largest and most imposing of the numerous 19th century inns that catered for travellers between Hobart and Launceston.

Circa 1842 and designed in the Greek Revival (Georgian) style, its main facade is breakfront with 5 bays. The portico has square and round Tuscan columns, framing the central entrance with four-panel door, fanlight and half sidelights.

Two wings, each with attic spaces enclose a huge flagged courtyard and caretaker's quarters.

Built in 1842, it was originally named 'The Green Ponds Hotel' and served as an Inn, Public House and residence until the 1860's. During the next decade it was used as scholastic establishment for young ladies before reverting to private occupancy.

Presently a magnificent homestead comprising some 22 rooms, it has been extensively and sympathetically restored preserving original cedar joinery including folding shutters to main windows.

Highlights of the accommodation include a wide and welcoming foyer with feature arch and sandstone flagged floors. Elegant formal drawing room and formal dining room, library, family room, lots of cedar and sandstone open fireplaces, study, expansive modern commercial kitchen, and up to 9 bedrooms, several with ensuites.

A superb country residence offering a special blend of sophistication and relaxed living and entertaining spaces. Coach house, stables and 5.8 hectares.

'Dysart House' is admirably suited for adaption to boutique accommodation, restaurant, or cooking school.

The stables could be used as an antique centre or as the core building for a market.
