00:30In Tasmania's northern Midlands, where the light falls across the land and the river winds quietly,

00:46nature and history have been in conversation for nearly 200 years.

00:50This is Rosebanks.

01:00A property born in the 1820s, when Joseph Bonney first tilled the soil on this very ground.

01:11For generations, the land has been passed from family to family, cared for, worked and loved.

01:18The cottage at Rosebanks was the first built.

01:25Constructed around 1826, it's the simple elegance of a Georgian design.

01:30Lime-washed brick walls, a symmetrical form, a kitchen and a store at the rear.

01:36Built by hand, it has stood the test of time, not as a monument, but as a home.

01:40Today, a sensitive architectural extension honours that heritage.

01:47The new addition carries the spirit of the original, a galvanised tin roof, silvered cladding boards

01:53and a convict brickwork continued.

01:56All crafted with humility and respect.

01:59It's a home where mornings begin with a soft Tasmanian light from the east

02:11and the evenings closed with the sunsets to the west.

02:18Beyond the walls, Rosebanks is alive with life.

02:24Tasmanian devils, wombats and bandicoots moving under moonlight,

02:28wedged-tailed eagles, sea eagles and brown falcons circle above the paddocks resting in the pines.

02:34And down by the riverbank, ducks, swans, wrens and even the rare green and gold frog find sanctuary.

02:41A platypus burrow lies just near the cottage, a quiet reminder that this land still breathes wild.

02:48The land itself tells a story.

02:51Open woodland country, once known as New Plains by the early settlers.

02:54Sandy loam soils, well-drained and fertile, nurtured generations of farmers.

03:01This is a place where agriculture and ecology live side by side.

03:07A property managed with care and guided by respect.

03:11At Rosebanks, time slows.

03:13You walk the same ground as the pioneers before you.

03:16You breathe the same air that's carried stories for 200 years.

03:21Rosebanks isn't just a home.

03:23It's a living landscape, a sanctuary and heritage.
