Bring a Grand Old Art Deco Lady Back to Life
Some buildings simply deserve another chapter. Standing proudly at the heart of New Norfolk's iconic Willow Court Precinct, this magnificent Art Deco landmark has watched over generations with quiet dignity. Now, she is waiting for someone with the vision to restore her former glory. Occupying approximately 3,519m² of land and offering an extraordinary building of around 2,600m² over two levels, this is one of Tasmania's most significant renovation and adaptive re-use opportunities. Rich in architectural character, the building showcases the timeless elegance of the Art Deco era, with grand hallways, soaring ceilings, original timber floors, impressive staircases, period detailing and beautifully proportioned rooms that simply cannot be replicated today. This is not a turnkey property. It is a renovation project for those who appreciate history, architecture and the opportunity to create something truly remarkable. With some areas of renovation already begun, the groundwork has been laid, leaving an exceptional canvas for the next custodian to complete the transformation. One of the property's greatest assets is its Particular Purpose (Zone 4) zoning, opening the door to an impressive range of redevelopment possibilities (STCA). Imagine transforming this grand Art Deco landmark into a boutique hotel, luxury accommodation, wellness retreat, artisan marketplace, gallery, education campus, medical precinct, consulting suites, creative hub, hospitality venue or mixed-use destination. With a flexible planning framework and a building that already commands attention, this is a rare opportunity to create one of regional Tasmania's most significant adaptive re-use projects. At its heart lies an extraordinary ballroom complete with original timber dance floor and stage, while throughout the building you'll discover multiple wings, generous rooms, living spaces, offices, kitchens, bathrooms, terraces and flexible areas ready to be reimagined. Located within the thriving Willow Court Precinct, surrounded by acclaimed destinations including The Agrarian Kitchen and a growing collection of boutique businesses, the property enjoys increasing visitor numbers and is just a short stroll to High Street, cafés, shopping and services. Properties of this scale, architectural significance and redevelopment potential rarely come to market. This grand old Art Deco lady has stood the test of time. Now she is searching for the next chapter in her remarkable story. ### Property highlights - Landmark Art Deco Administration Building within the historic Willow Court Precinct - Approximately 2,600m² building over two levels - Approximately 3,519m² landholding - Partial renovation already begun - Spectacular grand ballroom with original timber dance floor and stage - Multiple wings providing enormous flexibility for redevelopment - Zoned Particular Purpose (Zone 4) allowing a broad range of potential uses (STCA) - Walking distance to New Norfolk's town centre - Full building and archive plans available upon request A once-in-a-generation restoration opportunity.
