Estate
Homestead with two furnished sandstone cottages
200 years ago only the landed gentry could own this property. Now on the market for the first time in twenty years. Acton can be your dream home and provide you with a truly unique lifestyle.

Built by William Rumney after whom Mt Rumney is named. Acton House is the original home in what is now Acton Park. With its large landscaped gardens, pond with a resident family of geese and superbly restored interior Acton House is truly one of the most desirable properties in Hobart.
Two identical sandstone cottages were constructed on either side and are equidistant from the main house, giving the entire accommodation precinct a high degree of symmetry. These cottages are now used for tourist accommodation.
