Above the river flat farmlands along the Mersey River at Merseylea, on the slopes of Sunnyside with an ideal northerly aspect to trap the sunlight that filters through the native bush lands bordering the property and beyond is the setting for this peaceful enclave that features a spacious A Frame Chalet style family home. Set amidst approximately two hectares of grounds that are nurtured as a haven for native birds, plants and animals to encourage their presence for the sound, colour and pleasure they provide the owners.

This deceptively spacious home features three levels the first two being approximately 235 square metres that are currently utilised as the main living and recreational or utility areas. The ground floor is the main family and living area boasting an inviting and well appointed country kitchen and dining area, open plan formal dining, lounge and living area, one main bedroom and master bathroom which also incorporates laundry and office. Each living area on the ground floor features its own individual external access for entry and exit. For family or guests visiting either entry point at the kitchen or the Atrium to the main living area is equally inviting.

The second storey features a further main bedroom, with ensuite (either first or second storey bedroom can be used as the Master Bedroom), the third bedroom, and studio-craft area that could also be used as home theatre and secondary living area. To further add to the options available to a family is the third level with a floor area of over 62 square metres that may also be used as a studio, additional bedroom or bedrooms with a simple division or screen, one thing is sure and that there will never be a shortage of space available when guests come to stay. Each room has generous natural lighting provisions with window and skylights to allow sunshine and moonlight.

This is a very tidy, fastidiously maintained and presented property with quality fixtures and fittings that reflects the vendors attachment to the property. The grounds are very low maintenance with most being a native sanctuary, while specific areas have been established and protected for traditional ornamental garden and fresh produce for the table. Water for domestic use in the house is collected rainwater from the ample roof square meterage, while supplementary water for the grounds and gardens is sourced from a permanent spring within the gardens. Both systems are operated by domestic water pressure pump systems.

Outbuildings include combination garage, carport and workshop, and two colourbond utility garden sheds. Underground power supplies the workshop with ample connection points for home handyman or craft enterprises. The property has no passing traffic, being the last title at the end of a no through lane. The property has a combination of medium and mild slopes and level plateau where the home is sited. The entry slope to the property is tarmac surfaced for ease of maintenance.

This is truly a property to escape from the pressures of modern life without being isolated, it is a pocket sanctuary in a setting to enjoy the surrounds of rural life and nature. It provides space and privacy, access to surrounding native bush lands and trails for walking. It is low maintenance so allows leisure time to be enjoyed relaxing or entertaining at home or commuting to the many regional centres within short travelling distances of the property to take advantage of lifestyle opportunities. The natural ambiance that is provided by the sunlight filtering through the treetops as you enter the property, and during Autumn, Winter and Spring almost seems to be a filter against the fast pace of 21st century life. There is so much more to describe this property but the best way to fully appreciate this offering is to arrange a visit.

This is an ideal property to commute anywhere within northern Tasmania with approximately 5 minutes drive into Railton, 12 to 15 minutes to Sheffield; 25 to 30 minutes only to Deloraine, Devonport or Latrobe, and approximately 50 minutes only to Launceston Airport.
