Sitting on the side of a busy Tasmanian highway, a grand former food and wine conservatory with arched windows is hard to miss by the thousands that pass by every day.
The 8.5-hectare property has hosted weddings, functions and events and been a regular stop for lunch or a break from driving for those passing by.
But what it will like in the future is uncertain, with the property officially on the market.
Built in the late 1970s, the building on the Bass Highway in the north-west town of Sassafras has been a special part of Vonda Mason's life ever since she was married there in 1987.
"I have had a love affair with that building ever since," she said.
"I was driving backwards and forwards on that highway a lot and I kept looking at it thinking, 'Oh my goodness, somebody has to do something with this, it is just so beautiful'."
In 2015, almost three decades after they tied the knot there, Ms Mason and her husband Glenn decided to purchase the property and opened it as a restaurant and function space the same year.
Ms Mason said the original owner had been to Europe and fell in love with the architecture there, particularly in Austria, which inspired the idea behind the conservatory.
"Everyone said he was mad but thank goodness for mad people," she said.
"He ran it as a tea house with his mum for several years but then it was closed to public for a good 20 years.
"But he used to go out every week and put fresh flowers on the table so it would look gorgeous because he always said 'If somebody looks in the window, I want it to look nice'."
'Someone else's turn'
Ms Mason and her husband closed the restaurant in 2021 and have since focused on weddings and functions.
The couple have now made the difficult decision to sell the property.
"We have really struggled to come to this decision to let it go because it is so beautiful," she said.
"We've just got some many other projects on the go and we are just so busy with other things, so it just feels right that its someone else's turn now."
She said there had already been "a lot of interest" in the property, which was listed for sale for offers over $1.35 million.
"The building is iconic and so many people have an attachment or a love for the building," she said.
"There are so many other options. It could be a winery, it could a micro-brewery, it could be a distillery.
"We've got 21 acres of land with the property, so there are endless possibilities."
