“Chimneys” is a beautiful property for people wanting a country lifestyle with plenty of room around them but still not far from the airport, the city of Hobart and the beautiful Tasmanian East Coast.
This unique 4 bedroom home is based on Georgian design and built over two levels looking out onto almost 28 hectares (67 acres) of fertile pasture.
Constructed of brick with superbly crafted sandstone Lintels and Cornerstones, this home captures all day sun, while the wrap-around bull-nose verandas provide shade and shelter from the wind in all directions.
The lower level entrance is via a paved alfresco dining area which commands outstanding views over the gardens and farmland.
French doors open out from a light and airy dining room which has polished timber floor boards, an enviro pellet heater which provides energy-efficient and clean heating of this and surrounding areas, and a convenient servery which connects dinner guests to the chef.
The superb kitchen boasts loads of timber cupboards, self-closing drawers, plenty of bench space and a sensational Belling double oven with induction cook-top. There is also an adjacent larder with an abundance of storage, sink and direct outside access. Rounding off the lower level is a gorgeous formal lounge room with woodheater and adjoining library.
A beautiful timber staircase leads to the upper level. This is actually the traditional front entrance to the home and is accessed from a charming courtyard, beyond which is the garage with automatic roller door, workshop and storage room.
The master bedroom is very spacious, and a walk-through wardrobe/dressing area leads to the ensuite which features a gorgeous claw-footed bath and vintage fittings. Next door is a separate toilet, family shower room and cleverly “hidden” laundry.
Along the hallway are two more large bedrooms, each with built-in robes and views of the gardens and farm, while a fourth bedroom, which overlooks the front courtyard, is currently used as an office.
Each of the bedrooms and the hallway have recirculated hot water panels for extra warmth as and when required.
Outdoors, there is a 5 metre prestige greenhouse, an orchard, veggie gardens, literally 100s of raspberry canes, a rose garden, ornamental and native gardens and mass plantings of bulbs.
There is also a stable, hen house and other useful sheds and fenced yards nearby. An excellent 4-Bay machinery/hay shed, shearing shed and stock yards as well as the 5 permanent dams and winter creek complete this excellent package. I look forward to hearing from you.
