Stage 6 of the sought-after ‘Hadspen Hills Estate’ is now available, offering a peaceful lifestyle just 10 minutes from the heart of Launceston.
​
Nestled along the South Esk River in northern Tasmania, Hadspen is a welcoming township located just 8 km southwest of Launceston.
​
The town features a convenient shopping centre with a post office and service station, positioned near a well-established caravan and cabin park. Residential development has predominantly taken place on the northern side of the Meander Valley Highway, creating a strong community atmosphere.
​
Hadspen also boasts rich historical charm. Its centrepiece, Entally House, was built in 1819 and served as the colonial estate of a prominent settler. It was once home to Thomas Reibey, Premier of Tasmania from 1876 to 1877. Another notable landmark is the Red Feather Inn, a beautifully preserved coaching inn from the 1840s, now operating as a boutique restaurant and accommodation venue.

Hadspen.- This rural township, long marked out on the maps, is fast assuming the appearance of a village. It is situated close to and on this side of Reibey's Bridge. Mr. Sprunt lately obtained a licence to open an inn, which is a large and commodious brick building. Several cottages are erected, and a blacksmith's forge for the convenience of surrounding settlers will soon be at work. Abundance of excellent stone is found within a few yards of the spot, and we observe one gentleman has built a remarkably neat cottage, fronting the main street, of this material. The distance from Launceston is about eight miles, and if the road were slightly repaired the drive in this direction would be the most pleasant in the neighbourhood
