The Setting:

Set in the lull of a hill overlooking Eugenana valley, this niche property covers 2.6 acres of fenced pasture, garden and bush fragments. Nano- climates abound.
The 6-year-old house rests privately in this peaceful setting, harnessing stunning views of orchards, fields, water, hills, bush and sky. Owner designed, locally drafted and crafted, the home is styled, both inside and out, with the surrounding landscape in mind. Colour, light, space and line are utilized to bring the inside out, and the outside in.

Minimal intervention and non- intervention methods have been in practice in the development of the land. A global garden surrounds the residence. A creative and practical use of resources is evident in landscape design, with leads to various garden rooms and spaces, wonderful for observation, reflection, relaxation, conversation and play.

Native and exotic plant species provide a stable food source for an abundant variety of resident and visiting wildlife. Fantails, wattlebirds, yellow-throated honeyeaters, and pardelotes, are some of the more than 16 bird species, along with a strong frog population, that connect with the property. An echidna, a pademelon, and a bluetongue lizard, also call this place home. For platypus, head to the Tasmanian arboretum, a 2-minute drive up the road.

The month of May brings a wide variety of fungi species on display in the pasture. Recently planted fruit and nut trees are doing well. One beehive enhances already prolific pollination, while providing fresh comb honey at harvest. Room to run a pony, or a steer, or cow.

Living:

It has been said that Eugenana is of indigenous origin, meaning white goshawk, and they can still be seen over the valley on occasions. More common are the brown hawks and ravens that ride the wind over the fields, before plunging or swooping to catch a meal.
Draw in views from both inside and out, morning, noon and night. Take a stroll on a nature walk, or sit with the birds in the garden and check out their antics at different times of the day. Work from your desk alongside curious wrens and honeyeaters, and busy bees and butterflies at work on the plants that surround you at the window.
Cast your eyes to a starry sky, a brilliantly lit sunset, or gaze across morning pillows of mist in the valley while snuggled warmly inside. Enjoy the sun with meals on the deck, or relax in a chair with a good book.

This practical, easy living, and eco-friendly piece of paradise is excellent for family living, gatherings, interstate and overseas visitors, work from home, or home schooling.
