Only a couple of minutes drive from Lake Barrington, and privately located away from the main road, this would be an ideal retreat for a couple with three or four horses or to be self sufficient with produce bearing gardens and livestock. The timber clad home which was only recently built in 2008, has a pleasant rural outlook and its positioning and attributes takes full advantage of natural light and shelter.
This is a great opportunity for a new purchaser to simply move in or indeed to consider expanding with an additional bedroom and perhaps ensuite. The main family area features open plan lounge, kitchen and dining areas and all capture views and sunlight throughout the day and opens on to the full length deck. Established with two bedrooms, the master bedroom having full length built in robes while the second bedroom has sufficient space to add robes if required.
The dining and lounge floors are finished in Italian slate, with timber walls a feature throughout the interior of the house. Heating is provided for by a free standing wood heater. This house can easily be expanded should you wish to add additional rooms or expand the existing decking area and is also designed to capture natural light throughout the day. The deck is an ideal area for enjoying the views, barbecue and social gatherings.
The kitchen is spacious and bright, boasts two walk in pantries to cater for all food storage requirements, and features views out toward the morning sun and captivating views of Mount Roland as does the dining area. An electric oven is currently installed, although a gas point has been installed for gas cooking facilities. The bathroom has been finished with elegant Mediterranean style tiles.
The house and the outbuildings all have power connected via underground mains, so no unsightly poles or power lines. Rainwater is stored in a 5,000 gallon tank for domestic use, while stock are watered from dam and spring supply. The farmlet has a versatile shed and barn with rainwater tank collection, and facility for fodder, machinery and workshop usage.
The property is predominantly pasture being gentle to undulating slopes, with a northerly aspect capturing the morning suns, and providing invaluable natural shelter for livestock. The property has magnificent views from an elevated position that is very sheltered from the prevailing winds which pass over its position being in the lee of the hill to the south west.
Situated just minutes from Lake Barrington, approximately 8 to 10 minutes from Sheffield, 30 from Devonport, Ulverstone or Latrobe, and just over an hour to Launceston depending on driving conditions, this is a very central location to base a new rural and lifestyle and home.
