This huge home was originally built by a prominent Tasmanian artist as a residence with extensive working studio. The external appearance of this home is deceptive and once inside the house, you are welcomed into a light and airy home with multiple living areas (warmed by combustion heaters) and unique loft bedrooms that entice the romantic and capture the restful nature of the country.

This home provides flexibility of living for a couple or family as well as the artist or collector where there is enough space to work and display your treasures.

Over the past 12 years the current owner has spent over 100k carefully renovating this home including a practical and modern soft close drawer Tassie Oak country kitchen (complete with double oven and twin dishwasher), renovating the main bathroom with large spa and refreshing the powder room near the lounge. The home was extended to include a massive entertainment/rumpus room that has an Alley remote professional projector screen to watch evening movies. This room has a heat pump that provides air-conditioned comfort as well as heating. French doors open into the back garden draped with fragrant jasmine and roses. At the end of this room is a guest bedroom with a spacious new shower room. The house has had a modern safety switchboard put in when the house was completely rewired. Very little to do except move in and make it your home!

Beyond the rumpus room, the studio/garage has ample storage for any handyman or artist, with a high roof alongside at least two cars under the internal roof. Outside there is room for both a boat and a caravan under the carport and multiple spaces for visiting cars.

Privately situated on a 3/4 acre block of land provides numerous native plants, spacious lawns, fruiting lemon and lime trees, options for free-range chickens as well a fully fenced area that previously kept two Great Danes safe and happy.

This property is a quiet location with a bitumen road leading to the driveway. It has the added bonus of town water and sewerage which a lot of rural houses do not. The close proximity to the historic town of Richmond with its antique stores, teahouses for Devonshire tea and scones, the beautiful Richmond Bridge and picnic areas provides weekend wandering. Campania is a mere 7km down the road and is only 20 mins to the Hobart Airport to pick up visitors or travel interstate, and 35mins to the CBD of Hobart. It is a 15 minutes drive to Sorell to do the weekly shopping at Woolworths or Coles.

There are local facilities within the peaceful little township of Campania that include a post office, service station, local country general store which seems to stock all of the necessities, a bus service which travels to the CBD 4 times a day, District High school and the local pub which burnt down last year is being rebuilt in the near future.

The Coal Valley is becoming a prominent wine region in Tassie Southern Midlands Shire – plenty to do on the weekends and share with visiting friends and relatives.
