From the moment you step through the entry area this spacious home will impress you with its generous proportions, bushland or water views from almost every window and absolute tranquility.
Internally this 270sqm (approx.) brick home offers 3 large, carpeted bedrooms with built in wardrobes, main with walk in wardrobe and ensuite, as well as a 4th bedroom/study also with built-ins. All bedrooms have off peak, underfloor heating (not currently connected to meter box) and the main and 2nd bedrooms have a ducted hot air transfer system. A long, wide, central hallway connects the kitchen and living areas to the bedrooms and the double, swinging doors provide the perfect barrier between the quiet areas and the noisy activities at the other end of the home.
The charming timber kitchen provides an abundance of storage with ample bench space, including an island bench finished with a stainless steel top for a modern, hard wearing finish. The informal dining area next to the kitchen has large, glass windows and a sliding door allowing plenty of natural light into the room and providing unobstructed views of the surrounding trees. This area of the home has a Daikin reverse cycle heat pump for keeping warm in the cooler months.
Walking down two steps from the kitchen/dining area finds you in the large, carpeted living room with 4.7m high (at peak), timber lined raked ceilings with exposed beams providing a sense of space and grandeur. This room is perfectly oriented to the north-east and provides relaxing views over the tranquil tidal waters of Medeas Cove. The brick fireplace with through-wall wood storage box separates the lounge from the adjoining rumpus/games room and is complemented by a large wood heater, flued to the ceiling, plus a Daikin reverse cycle heat pump. No shortage of options to keep the cold at bay here!
Externally, the property offers under cover parking for four cars in the drive-through port cochere adjoining the house. There are three sheds on the property all with power, lights and water (one with a toilet and shower). The main shed with its adjoining 70sqm annex would be ideal for storing cars, boats and trucks or working on small and large projects.
Two of the sheds have been built as hot houses. One with a wood fired, water heater and storage cylinder for under floor heating as well as drip feed sprinkler system making it suitable for growing plants all year round. The second, smaller shed has a concrete floor and wind in/out windows to control ventilation. Between the two sheds theres a fenced, secure area with a lockable gate at each end.
The current set up could be suitable for a home business (STCA).
The property is connected to town water but the owner has also set up a system to capture and filter the pristine rain water into stainless steel tanks then transfer it to the house via stainless steel piping to ensure it is suitable for drinking.
Boasting 3000 gal and 800 gal above ground poly water tanks, 2000 gal underground concrete tank and small, fully fenced dam at the front of property with pumps connected to either petrol or electric generators this property could be self-sufficient for its water needs for a short period of time if required.
For the green thumb, theres an abundance of fruit trees, a 45sqm fenced veggie patch beside the house as well as a stainless steel trellis for growing grape vines on the gentle, north-east facing slope in front of the house. The 55sqm lockable shade house in the north-west corner of the property has a plumbed sprinkler system and produces a mixture of delicious, plump berries in season.
If you enjoy entertaining then the property offers a standalone 27sqm undercover BBQ area with power, lights and water including stainless steel sink and bench top and a brick BBQ with stainless steel cooking plate and grill.
Accessed via a private, tree-lined right of way with only one rear neighbour, this property is bordered by trees and brimming with native wildlife and affords high levels of privacy, natural beauty and seclusion yet is only minutes from the centre of St Helens.
St Helens is a vibrant community on the north-east coast of Tasmania focused around the fishing and tourism industries and offers one of the mildest climates on the Apple Isle. With direct access to the open ocean via Georges Bay for deep water fishing, St Helens is only 1 1/2 hours drive to the Ben Lomond ski fields and a scenic, two hour drive on sealed roads to Launceston airport where its a short hop to Melbourne and on to the rest of the world.
