‘Buyers in the $1 million plus price range should enquire.’
Proudly presenting…An exclusive first time offering to the market representing the ultimate in country luxury. ‘White Kangaroo Valley’ is an absolutely timeless Australian-Colonial style residence set amongst rolling hills on a fertile orchard estate.
The local area is steeped in history with the nearby tourist townships of Campania and Richmond significant in Tasmania’s convict past. Remnants of the old days can still be found here around the hills and rivulet flats which run through the property. A gravel driveway weaves through the acres of cherry orchards which line the hillside, crossing the ‘White Kangaroo Rivulet’ and passing by pastures, a dam, and machinery shed.
Surrounded by horse yards and fronting a large vehicle reception area, the residence is situated on a gently sloping, sheltered hillside with enough elevation to cast view out over the entire estate and neighbouring hills. The sandstone block walls are enveloped by wide verandahs and feature colonial style timber-framed bay windows and doors. There are a multitude of examples where attention to pure form and ornamentation blend with function in a stunning display of timber craftsmanship. There are also subtle Persian influences to the dcor amongst the high ceilings and expansive living spaces.
Stepping over the threshold into the tiled grand foyer, you’ll find yourself with the Southern wing’s cavernous formal area and master suite to your left. On one side is formal dining, on the other a formal lounge area with a wood fire at its centre and polished timber flooring. The master suite forms the far Southern extremity of the home and offers polished timber flooring, walk-in wardrobe, window furnishings, private verandah access and unrivalled opulence. The master en-suite is lavishly appointed with a two person spa, shower, bidet, toilet and vanity. There is an additional second bedroom on the wing also with its own private bathroom.
The Northern wing hosts informal dining, informal lounge, kitchen, pantry/store room, laundry room, study and nursery. There are also four bedrooms here, two share an en-suite bathroom while the remaining two have access to another fully featured bathroom off the hallway leading to a private foyer with separate external access. The country style kitchen will be a joy for any chef and features European appliances, terracotta floor tiles, island-bench, breakfast bar and a social outlook over the entire living area. The home is well equipped to cater for all social occasions with outdoor entertaining on a purpose built section of the front verandah or on the courtyard patio to the rear of the central foyer.
The property has a triple garage to the rear and plenty of on-site parking. Forty minutes to the vibrant Southern capital of Hobart and twenty five minutes to the airport make an exciting and very viable prospect for a ‘Bed & Breakfast’ operation.
