Lucaston invites you to a home of grandeur fondly known to the locals as Stody Lodge surrounded by orchards, farmlands, mountains, offering a lifestyle of tranquillity and fresh country air.

Set on 2.92 hectares, this substantial home built in 1990 has been lovingly crafted over the past two years to create a residence ideal for a family looking for a country escape. The pasture is a perfect landscape to graze animals offering plenty of space for the hobby farmer, keen green thumb, or a place for a pony or two.

The sandstone facade and veranda welcomes you with class and warmth, while the double doors open into the home’s heart revealing a magnificent space featuring a 16-foot ceiling, a legacy from a luxurious apple packing shed/barn conversion. A cosy double-sided wood heater fireplace with hearth, custom locally made mantle, and a floor-to-ceiling window will take your breath away. This opulent yet warming living space bathed in natural light flows into a large renovated kitchen featuring Tasmanian Oak benchtops, and an enviable Belling multi-functional Quad Oven delighting any avid master chef. The open plan kitchen is a magnificent space for entertaining family and friends while looking out onto the entertaining courtyard and gardens beyond.

The second floor enjoys magical outlooks from every window, displaying pictures of the autumn vista, making this designated area for bedrooms particularly wonderful for providing plenty of relaxing space for a large or growing family. French doors open out to the master suites own veranda expanding along the front of the home, soaking up the morning sun and a perfect spot for enjoying your morning cuppa or al fresco breakfast. Two of the five bedrooms feature ensuites, with a third bathroom upstairs, and a fourth downstairs ensuring ease in the mornings, with no one ever needing to wait their turn!

This home provides the perfect additional area for a second lounge/media or games room, along with a study, and a wonderful reading room that captures the warmth of the afternoon sun and opens to the wonders of the courtyard and garden. There is a huge 16-foot-high double garage with remote doors plus internal access, that has the potential to create additional rooms for a B & B business opportunity.

Outbuildings include a huge shed/workshop, plus an additional woodshed. The outdoor living space and courtyard enjoys quiet privacy, beautiful for lighting a fire pit and gathering with family and friends. Gardens have passionately been nurtured, growing a variety of aromatic shrubs and colourful deciduous trees, which include Japanese Maple and Golden Ash. Three large water tanks provide an abundance of water to the property even through the warm summer months, and the fertile soils providing the perfect location for re-establishing an orchard if you are a grower or budding cider maker.

The property was originally an orchard producing many seasons of fruit and is now transformed into a special place to enjoy the picturesque surroundings of the Huon Valley.
