Overview

Pontville is a small rural community of 623 residents (2016 census) located 4 km north‑west of Brighton and about 28 km north of Hobart. Set on the Jordan River, the suburb enjoys historic charm, highlighted by the sandstone Jordan River Bridge on the Midland Highway and venues such as the restored 1830s Epsom House, now a regular performance space. A cluster of heritage‑listed properties, including St Mark’s Anglican Church, the former Constable’s Quarters and several historic cottages, adds character to the leafy streets and appeals to those who value a blend of history and countryside living.

Road links are strong: the Midland Highway (National Route 1) runs through Pontville, while Brighton Road (C195) connects south to the surrounding region. Although the railway to Hobart closed in 1947, the former line’s corridor still marks the town’s transport legacy. Housing ranges from historic cottages and restored inns to modern rural dwellings, offering a diverse mix for families, retirees and commuters alike.
