This is the perfect property for the family or couple wanting a secluded country lifestyle in a unique Federation cottage only 45 minutes from Hobart.

The charming circa 1900 tastefully refurbished character dwelling nestles in the valley beside Castle Forbes Rivulet just 5 minutes walk to the scenic Huon River estuary.

It is set in an acre of beautiful mature low maintenance gardens including a small orchard, a rose bed, a vast selection of ornamental shrubs and trees and an array of natives. Verandahs on three sides with original iron lace frame the cottage and take in the beautiful garden and valley vistas.

There are three spacious bedrooms all with splendid garden outlooks. A study with river views can alternate as a fourth bedroom.

The modern chef’s galley kitchen is ergonomically designed with an outlook to the garden and hills. It features Meile appliances, ceramic cook top, large pantries and is centrally located between the dining, breakfast and outdoor rooms.

The open plan lounge-dining room features French doors to the veranda and the bright family room opens onto a sunny rear patio which is a perfect spot for breakfast or BBQ.

The bathroom contains bath, shower and toilet and there is an adjacent separate toilet and vanity room. The laundry/utility room is also adjacent.

The house has been completely restored and sympathetically extended to preserve and enhance the original character. The lucky purchaser could move in with no work or capital outlay required. Internal decoration includes quality curtains and carpets, skylights, thermostat electric panel heaters, reverse cycle heat pump and efficient wood heater. It has an NBN connection together with Foxtel and free-to-air TV.

There is a new sunny garden studio adjacent to the house with a delightfully decorated exterior to complement the original house. It has two rooms and verandah with views to the gardens and bushy hills. Internally it is completed with quality carpet, curtains and a thermostat electric panel heater. It has water and free-to-air TV and is double insulated for a very cozy environment.

There is an 8m X 6m Colorbond workshop and garage at the top of a spacious tree-lined driveway.

The total property covers 36 acres. The house and gardens cover an area of 1 acre and there are 7 acres of pasture suitable for animals or orchard with potential for several dams. The remaining 28 acres is comprised of native bush. It takes in magnificent views of the Huon estuary and valley eastwards from the higher sections of the property and northwards to Mt. Wellington.
