Perched near the top of an elevated apporox. 30 hectares, and yet affording some protection from winter’s prevailing westerly winds, sits this lovely custom built home. Panoramic views abound and yet the home itself is not visible from the street being at the end of a tree lined driveway.

Only 20 minutes from the town of Sheffield you can enjoy the serenity and tranquillity of rural living without compromising on the conveniences of town.

After stepping into a sunporch which also doubles as a mud room in wet weather, you enter the main timber door into the living area and are facing a central brick column which houses the wood heater on one side, and storage for wood on another side. Here the spacious living, kitchen and dining all wrap around the massive central brick column which is highlighted by open beam ceilings all converging at one central point above. Aside from the cosy wood heater, the living area is equipped with a split system heat pump. Many cosy nights by the fire have been a favourite for owners perhaps with an occasional drink in hand. This home and its surrounds exude atmosphere whatever time of day or night, winter or summer.

The stylish well equipped kitchen which has been upgraded a few years ago is complete with breakfast bar. The views from this whole area need to be seen to be appreciated. The mountains which comprise Mt Claude, Van Dyk and Round Mountain are visible in all their glory. To sit and view these whilst one relaxes in the lounge area, the breakfast bar or on the expansive clay paver patio alone or entertaining guests outside, is a rare gem to experience indeed.

There are bedrooms which can be used in any way that suits you. Perhaps keep the large built-in bedroom with renovated ensuite and spa bath for yourself. Or keep this for guests and use the other largest bedroom as your haven with plenty of room for a sitting area to view the mountains from here also. If preferred, this extra-large room could be used as another living area instead. In addition to the 2 mentioned options there are 2 more built-in bedrooms which easily accommodate a double bed each.
Many a tourist stops on the road in front of the property to take their prized photos across the lovely green open paddocks, and spring-fed dam and billabong to the mountains beyond, yet all the while the house being protected from view.

There is a 2 car garage, and a workshop of the same size adjoining it at the end of the paved driveway and patio. In another gated area there is a large shed which is extra high and would accommodate tractor and/or hay. Several gates separate various areas of paddocks.

This home is also serviced by 16 solar panels on the roof and because electricity feeds back into the grid at the older rate of 29c per unit, there is substantial saving to be had on power bills. A top of the range brand new inverter was installed in 2016

The front boundary which is several hundred metres wide, has a solar powered electric fence which could be incorporated into secure paddocks to suit your purposes, should you wish to keep livestock or horses. The majority of the block all the way through to the distant boundaries is natural forest and is a haven for all kinds of Tasmanian wildlife. You will never run out of new trails to blaze if you are the adventurous kind. Manferns and lush foliage abound in the depths of the forest, and 2 creeks converge within the forested area.

A gravel Tasnetworks road transverses the forest, making it easy to find fallen timber for firewood. There may be an option of an ATV, and some furniture to be included in the sale of the house if desired.
