Large house, with lake, bush, productive garden close to the coast. $600,000
Due to health reasons, we are reluctantly selling Tiabunna.

The property comprises a magical three storey house by a lake surrounded by 5ha of bush. Peace, serenity, tranquillity are all words to describe this private paradise just 1.4 km from the coast and the township of Somerset. Tiabunna is a nature lovers dream with over 80 species of birds flying around the property; devils, quolls and potaroos in the bush; and platypus and freshwater crayfish in the lake.

The huge family home is beautifully positioned to capture the sun and the view of the lake only 20 m from the bay windows. The rustic, character house is 28 years old, with some wonderful angles and spaces, and loads of timber. Ground level has two large living rooms; dining area and brand new myrtle kitchen; plus the usual utility rooms and 3 small bedrooms/ studies.

The house also has a great covered outdoor living area with a secure, fenced house yard. This leads into the large netted vegie garden which is a wonderful asset, able to provide all the familys needs, complete with a highly productive raspberry patch. There is also a separate studio, garage and large lean-to.

Water is unlimited with the garden water pumped from the lake, and the house connected to town water. This part of Tasmania has a reliable rainfall and fertile soil, perfect for climate refugees!

Distillery creek runs through the property feeding the large lake, and creating a wonderful natural wetland. The owners have removed many introduced weeds, and have planted over 3000 native water and bush plants to restore the property and complement the vulnerable Eucalyptus viminalis and Melaleuca ericifolia stands. A track meanders along the lakeside, under giant tree ferns and through the blackwood and eucalyptus bush.

This property is a unique parcel of natural living within the town boundary, close to local services; but also offers an opportunity for a family with an interest in the environment to provide a haven for Tasmanias birds, animals and plants.
