Luxury Historic Landmark ‘Holdgate’s Cottage’

The ‘Holdgate’s Cottage’ is where heritage elegance meets striking industrial design, all conveniently located in the heart of Spring Hill and within 1km to the CBD!
This exceptional residence dates back to the 1860s and has been masterfully reimagined for modern living. It is a rare surviving nineteenth-century brick cottage that represents the early development of Spring Hill, one of Brisbane’s oldest suburbs.
