Rarely does a property this special come on the market! On offer is a beautiful 4 bedroom mud brick home on a stunning 55 acres (approx) parcel of land. From nearly every vantage point on the property you are treated to fabulous views of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Bruny Island and Tasman Peninsula, but the breathtaking views are best taken in from the comfort of your sofa. With floor to ceiling glass running the length of the open plan lounge and dining room you will never tire of watching the sun and moon rise over land and sea. The mud brick is accented by fantastic recycled posts that have been used structurally throughout the house, with contrasting horizontal panelled Tasmanian Oak walls and floor boards completing the picture. The master bedroom is a generous size and has immediate access to the tastefully refurbished bathroom.
There is no shortage of ways to heat the home with a reverse cycle heater in the lounge/dining area, a large Jindara wood stove in the kitchen and hydronic heating panels in every room. A small storage room attached to the home houses the wood-fired boiler which keeps the house snug on the coldest of winter days. The kitchen has true country style with it’s timber trim and capacity to cook for many guests – utilising the oven and sensational wood stove. This stunning room captures the expansive ‘Channel’ view through double glazed windows and boasts beautiful Coles Bay Granite bench tops and hearth. Adjoining the kitchen is an area that can be used for formal dining or as the perfect home office. Double glazed doors lead you from this area to the beautiful and private rear courtyard enclosed with a striking rammed earth wall. The rest of the home is comprised of three good sized bedrooms with built ins, two with amazing views. A veranda surrounds the house.
There are separate fenced areas for keeping animals close to the home, updated drainage and water tanks and a brand new septic system. And of course no country homestead is complete without an extra large 15x7m shed with concrete floor, power and phone.
You can have it all with this property. Good rainfall, permanent springs and a beautiful dam ensure a plentiful water supply for the house, paddocks and garden. Graze livestock, grow trees, draw creative inspiration from the ocean view. There is an adjoining parcel of land that if purchased will increase the acreage to approximately 100 acres and a price can be negotiated for the purchase of both. The property is five minutes from the local general store and post office and a 50 minute drive from Hobart.
