What a wonderful location for a lifestyle home with acreage. The home has just had a complete interior makeover and is situated on approximately 12 and a quarter acres of wonderful gentle to moderately undulating land predominantly pasture with some mature native timber stands and set with elevated views across farmlands surrounding Sheffield and providing captivating views of Mount Roland and other surrounding ranges.

The homestead built in 1983 is an A Frame configuration featuring open plan living areas and dining room all off a central kitchen hub with alive with natural light from the expansive windows of the cathedral frontage. The home features some wonderful examples of native Tasmanian timbers in the ceilings and exposed beams. With four bedrooms, two up and two down along with a bathroom on each level it represents a wonderful family home, and having had a complete internal renovation to the downstairs area within the last 12 months and means that the home is essentially maintenance free.

The home as part of the make over has new internal walls and paintwork, insulation, drapes, electrical wiring, carpets and appliances. As the vendor intends returning to the mainland once sold there is also an option to purchase the home furnished (by negotiation additional to the asking price). The home features solar hot water, a 9kw Daiken reverse cycle air conditioning unit, floor heating, an Osburn free standing fan forced wood heater and Pyrox gas heater in the dining area just for good measure. To assist in temperature control the home also has ceiling fan to circulate air. The kitchen features a Westinghouse stove with gas cooktop and electric oven, Whirlpool Rangehood, and Miele dishwasher. The home has also connection to the Wireless NBN network for high speed internet.

Water reticulation throughout the property is gravity fed from a natural permanent spring, from dam to tank, water troughs and water points throughout the property and gardens. The household water pressure is further regulated by pressure pump to ensure consistency. The gardens around the house have also had new storm water drainage installed and upgraded.

Outbuildings include a four bay, two car garage and workshop with power and water services, old six bay walk through dairy with stockyards and loading ramp, corrugated iron barn with feed manger set up in the skillion, and small utility sheds used for the laying hens and an enclosed area for raspberry canes or other produce.

The pastures are in good condition and the soils are a rich red basalt. Each paddock has dedicated water points for stock and all bar a couple of acres around the house have been and are capable of cutting for hay or silage.

This really is one of the properties that immediately makes you think, how you would like to live there. As mentioned it has a wonderful setting with beautiful views of Mount Roland and surrounds. It looks over farming land below, has very little passing traffic, has an abundance of recreational trails close by and is only three to five minutes from the town centre of Sheffield. Within half an hours drive you can be in Ulverstone, Devonport, Latrobe or Deloraine and approximately an hour from Launceston, so schools, work, recreational and social commuting is simply a pleasant drive.

At home be as private or as social as you wish, either way it is a location from which to enjoy life, and some cottage industry rural activity.
