Inspect By Private Appointment.

Steeped in history and timeless sophistication, Lumeah – formerly known as Beaulieu House – stands as one of Hobart’s most distinguished heritage residences. Built in 1847 by merchant William Murray, this grand Georgian home has evolved from an elite educational establishment for young ladies into a private estate of refinement and scale.

Positioned privately behind an elegant façade and framed by manicured gardens, the residence exudes grace from every angle. Across its three levels, Lumeah offers a flexible and expansive floorplan comprising multiple living areas, up to eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a fully self-contained lower-ground apartment, currently used as short stay accommodation. The beautifully proportioned rooms feature high ceilings, detailed ceiling roses, wide hallways, and generous windows capturing natural light and garden or city views.

The entry level welcomes with grand interconnected living and dining rooms, complimented by a separate formal lounge and a character-filled kitchen. Upstairs, the master suite enjoys an ensuite and walk-in robe, while an additional two bedrooms on this level offer comfort and versatility. Throughout, original features such as tessellated tiles, exposed brick and stone, wrought iron detailing, and multiple fireplaces have been meticulously preserved, while tasteful updates ensure year-round comfort and convenience.

Encircling the residence, the grounds are a tranquil escape in the heart of the city. Established Magnolias, Maples, and Wisteria frame meandering garden paths and a brick-floored potting shed, creating a setting as enchanting as it is private. The rear verandah – an iconic feature of Lumeah’s architecture – invites quiet reflection or outdoor entertaining amid this verdant backdrop. A single garage and additional off-street parking for two vehicles enhance practicality without compromising the home’s heritage character.

Located within moments of Salamanca Place, Hobart’s vibrant waterfront precinct, and the CBD, Lumeah offers the best of both worlds – a serene, storied estate within walking distance of the city’s finest dining, galleries, and boutique shopping.

A landmark of architectural and historical significance, Lumeah is more than a residence, it is a rare opportunity to become custodian of a treasured piece of Tasmania’s history, lovingly preserved and ready for its next chapter.
