On an all weather road around 35 minutes from Launceston is this appealing Swiss chalet style home complete with a separate fully self contained one bedroom unit. Nestled 600 metres (as the crow flies) from the summit of Mt Barrow offering views to Bass Strait, an abundance of clear spring water and a wonderful alpine lifestyle amongst a large variety of native shrubs, fauna and wildlife.

Totaling almost 30 acres, the land mostly bush has income producing pepper berries which will soon be ready to pick.

The dwellings are sited on a well planned, secure, fully fenced yard with established shrubs and veggie garden – all designed to suit the climate. There are lots of “nooks and crannys” where you can sit and relax and a private sheltered courtyard between the home and the unit.

The main home is on two levels and offers four bedrooms, all with built-in robes, two bathrooms, separate kitchen/dining room, and spacious open plan living room complemented with parquetry floors and a large inbuilt wood fire. Tasmanian timbers are showcased throughout the home giving a warm homely feel. These timbers combined with fibreglass batts in the walls provide excellent insulation.

The unit is fully self contained with its own pot belly wood fire, bathroom, separate bedroom and kitchen/living room. Maybe this could be converted to B&B (STCA) – there is plenty of level ground around the home for extra parking and easy vehicular access.

Adjoining the unit is a powered garage and generous carport. At the roadside is another brick garage which has a separate metre box and is currently leased by the Broadcasting Commission.

Such a versatile property with Foxtel and satelite broadband connected offering a lovely relaxed lifestyle away from the “rat race” yet within easy reach of all services and facilities and around 15 minutes from the popular local shop/post office at Nunamara. For those with school aged children buses to various schools are available at the highway.
