Some may call this a labour of love, but when you love what you are doing, it is a pleasure. The retired owners have built this home together and raised their family here since 1979. Their creativity has shown what a masterpiece it is, now that all the trees are established, creating outstanding park like gardens. If you are a gardener, you will appreciate the wonderful selection of plantings, rock walls and stone pathways leading to garden rooms here and there, and the stone fish pond and outdoor entertaining area with wood fire barbecue is just lovely.
This is a home for a young family with a bucket load of kids, who love to run free and have plenty of space to play. The home has a huge living room 5.5×7.5m as well as a kid’s rumpus room, which is currently used as a large storage room.
The L shaped home gives two separate wings which is wonderful for large families. Heating is ample with 2 wood fires and electric wall heaters.
Outside there is a timber double garage (50m2) and storage area, as well as a brick garage (35m2) closer to the home set up as a workshop. The 10 acres recently had a pine forest removed and the stumps remain. The owners have had a quote of $8k to have the stumps removed so that pasture can be brought back. There is a dam on the land as well as a nearby creek that supplies endless water to this home and a few of the neighbouring properties. This gravity feeds to the home, gardens, veggie garden, and orchard. This home has not been renovated since being built in 1979, but with some new carpets, the bathrooms updated; this would truly be a show piece. Alternatively if you like the old country feel, you may be happy with exactly how it is. The kitchen has had some upgrading done with a new oven installed this year.
NBN is available at the property. The school bus collects children not far from the gate.
Travelling distance to Launceston is around 15 minutes, and Lilydale township offers a variety of specialty stores. The local school accommodates from kinder to grade 10.
For the pleasure of an inspection please give me Sharon a call and allow plenty of time to view and appreciate this wonderful property.
