Old Forest Vale

When it comes to quintessential farm life it doesn’t get much better than Old Forest Vale.

Based in the heart of Tasmania in the historic Northern Midlands, Old Forest Vale homestead dates back to the 1800’s and today is home to a 300 tree trufferie.

Since becoming custodians of this picturesque piece of Tasmanian history, Theresa and Anthony have renovated the “old girl” bringing her into this century while ensuring nods to her uniquely Tasmanian past. When searching for flooring that would do just this, they decided on Woodsmith’s Shannon Rise.

Traditional, and rich with a luxurious character that is endlessly versatile you might even say that Woodsmith is indeed the truffle of the engineered timber world.

From creating the perfect cosy nook in front of a crackling wood fire, to complementing existing traditional cabinetry in the country kitchen, Woodsmith has proven to be both versatile and beautiful. Woodsmith Engineered Flooring is quarter sawn providing a straight and consistent grain which creates a more expansive feel to rooms and can be used to great effect in both modern and contemporary spaces.

At the footsteps of the Great Western Tiers, Anthony and Theresa thrive on producing the best tasting produce in the most sustainable way.
