Blackstone Heights is a surbub of Launceston and was established several years ago yet it's still rather new. Some of the houses are built on top of rocks all bunched together other houses are not. The river is the South Esk and ski boats go up and down that river in the summer annoying the people who own the houses, the noise echos. A friend of mine had to sell her family home because of the noise as she was a Registered Nurse and worked night duty thus couldn't sleep during the day due to noise.
I've taken a few family homes and will show more in another post later on.
I can imagine that you wouldn't want to live there if there was so much noise.
ReplyDeleteI think the houses are beautiful.
Greetings Irma
I wouldn't live there at all Irma. It doesn't appeal to me. There is not a Supermarket and a Restaurant up that way, nice food as we ate there awhile back.
DeleteThose are some BIG houses. I would love to live somewhere with water views - but hadn't considered the noise aspect. Your poor friend.
ReplyDeleteThey are rather large, most of them are. Always lovely looking over water but in this case it didn't pay off for my friend.
DeleteThose houses are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey are rather nice Angie.
DeleteSon unas bonitas casas, que deben ser bastante confortables por dentro y bien rodeadas , por una prodigiosa naturaleza. Cualquier persona, le gustaría vivir en alguna de ellas.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
The houses would be spacious inside I expect and not too cluttered.
DeleteThe houses are beautiful but if there is lots of noise, that is not good.
ReplyDeleteNoise isn't good but it's only in the ski season but if you are trying to sleep not good.
DeleteThe houses look quite nice, but you can't have it all. Sometimes it's noise, sometimes a bad neighbor, and other potential poblems.
ReplyDeleteGood neighbours are worth their weight in gold Duta. We are fortunate to have good ones so far.
DeleteThe houses look nice to me. Pity the noise.
ReplyDeleteThey are nice houses, some appeal and other don't. It is a shame about the noise and it does roar up the river as I've heard it, but I suppose over time one would get used to it, well I think I would.
DeleteNice houses and lovely view, loud noises when one is trying to sleep can be so frustrating .but some adjust and manage anyway
ReplyDeleteCan be a nuiscane, even ear plugs didn't help my friend.
DeleteIt's a beautiful area and lovely homes. I sympathize over the noise.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard enough sleeping in the daytime as it is without interruptions Denise.
DeleteI've done night duty but lived in a quiet area, my problem was getting enough sleep as I didn't get into bed till 11am and had to be up by 4pm to eat and drive to the hospital in the country. I got there though.
It would be such a shame to have a house in that the location but be driven mad by noise. Jet skis used to spoil a beach experience here but they seem much quieter than they used to be.
ReplyDeleteWell that's good and of course Jet ski's on the river too, forgot about them!
DeleteLindas casas. Mi preferidas las dela primera foto. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteYes I like that one too, it's unfortuante it was down the hill a bit so was only able to get the top half of it.
DeleteThe houses look nice, but I'd be annoyed by ski boats too.
ReplyDeleteSame here River, I suppose people didn't think about the ski boats and such when they bought the land to build there.
DeleteA beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteIt's rather nice there Anne.
DeleteBad for day sleepers, for sure--- Surely the ski boats are not a new thing. Buyers must have known about them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure some of the buyers would have known but they probably thought inside the house the noise wouldn't be so loud...just a theory of mine.
DeleteSome people obviously have money!
ReplyDeleteMany houses like these in Launceston David.
DeleteThe houses look beautiful, it's a shame that for noise or other reasons they have to sell or dismantle.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
They are rather nice homes, and such a pity regarding the noise. I suppose it doesn't bother some people.
DeleteThe houses do look nice, what a shame about the noise.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It is a shame about the noise, I wouldn't like it.
DeleteImpressive residences and up-market to the 100% degree.
ReplyDeleteColin
We have many houses like those in the photos here in the Launceston and area Colin.
DeleteBellas imagenes de arquitectura moderna.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteBeautiful area and incredible houses, I especially liked the first one.
ReplyDeletei like the first one too Maria.
DeleteLas casas se ven bien, pero con tanto ruido no me gustaría vivir ahí. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa. I wouldn't want to live there either.
DeleteNoise is a very big problem.
ReplyDeleteI know very well this subject because I worked in an european project called Nomeports (Noise Management in European Ports).
Yes, you would know all about noise then.
DeleteThose houses are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame about the noise though.
Hugs and blessings, Margaret
Certainly is a pity regarding the noise in summer, it is very noisy as it echo's along that river.
DeleteI'd have talked with the neighbors before buying...there's always someone willing to be truthful...
ReplyDeletehugs
Donna
That's very true, but friends house was one of the first built there so they didn't know about the noise.
DeleteStunning houses dear Margaret!
ReplyDeletei am glad you shared the glimpse .even though area looks serene but as you mentioned the noise of boats which made your friend sell her house .night duty is toughest no doubt .
health peace and joy to you and family !
Thank you Baili. You are welcome.
DeleteΠολύ ωραία σπίτια σε ένα φανταστικό τοπίο
ReplyDeleteπου γαληνεύουν την ψυχή!
It is rather nice there on a quiet day :)
DeleteIl posto sembra incantevole e sicuramente è splendido se ci vai in villeggiatura, a causa del rumore un po' meno per abitarci
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice place to visit, it's hilly and one looks down to the river through the houses or between the houses.
DeleteWell, noise has long been the enemy of man, and when it occurs during the time of rest and rest, it becomes a serious problem. But overall, the houses are very beautiful, spacious, large and look very expensive. I like them. And let me add that it's nice to see beautiful sunshine and a non-winter landscape.
ReplyDeleteRegards! :)
