The property is situated in the village of Ross, in the Midlands region of Tasmania, on the banks of the Macquarie River. Ross lies roughly 78 km south of Launceston and about 117 km north of Hobart.

Ross is renowned for its sandstone Ross Bridge, built by convict labour in 1836, and a collection of heritage‑listed sandstone buildings throughout the town centre. The historic Female Factory site and the former Army Orderly Room are also within walking distance.

The town hosts the Tasmanian Wool Centre – a museum, exhibition space and tourist information hub – as well as the iconic Ross Village Bakery, famous for its 1860 wood‑fired oven and link to the film *Kiki’s Delivery Service*.

Tooms Lake, created as a water‑supply dam for Ross, offers scenic walking and fishing opportunities nearby. The surrounding countryside provides picturesque views of the Macquarie River and the rolling Midlands landscape.

Many of Ross’s original sandstone structures are individually heritage‑listed, including the stone bridge, the former police and army buildings, and a number of private residences and former Sunday schools that line the historic streets.

Visitors can explore the town’s convict history at the Female Factory exhibit, view the intricate carvings on Ross Bridge, and experience local folklore at the Man O’ Ross Hotel, which dates back to 1831.
