Once entering through the gates of Windamere Estate you will instantly feel the tranquility and country charm it oozes. High chances are you will fall completely in love with the lifestyle options it creates and combined with the character light filled cottage only helps compliment this unique package.
Imagine a place where you can create your own gourmet farmer experience on an historical small acreage property, yet only approximately forty minutes from the Hobart CBD and seven minutes from New Norfolk’s CBD is where Windamere sits beautifully in the Lachlan Valley.
Windamere is one of the original homes in the farming region of Ironstone Gully Road, this property is set on approximately 5.223 hectares of land and has produced small fruits, truffles, cattle, livestock, mushrooms and poultry over its century of history.
The home is a double-storey four-bedroom weatherboard cottage. Situated on an approximate acre of shaded garden full of mature trees, offers an opportunity for the green-thumb and many moments sitting having a nice cuppa or beverage on the porch admiring your surroundings.
This charming cottage has character features you would expect with wooden floorboards, fire places, plaster ceiling rosettes design and stained glass window.
With the elegant country kitchen, makes this the perfect place to cook the produce you have grown from your own garden. The lounge area has a new woodheater (installed 2014) and a lovely bay window which looks out over the serene garden. The sandstone hearth was cut from the hill behind the property 100 years ago, along with adding it in the new extension, cut from the same quarry one year ago. Upstairs is the perfect teenagers retreat, housing a second living area surrounded by three bedrooms all with spectacular views.
For the foodies, this property is ideal for anyone seeking to participate in Tasmania’s expanding gourmet experience or perhaps setting up your own farming operation. Windamere is only approximately 5 km from the world renowned Agrarian Kitchen further up the Lachlan Valley, and nearby in Molesworth is the cooking school of Sally Wise. So there is every opportunity to expand your culinary skills and knowledge while growing produce right on your own property.
As an extra bonus there are two medium sized dams which can provide year round water to any farming venture as well as a bore with a new pump.
Lifestyle farms or hobby farms are common – this property is a rarity for its location, closeness to Hobart and the opportunity to farm livestock or perhaps even that horticulture venture such as a vineyard or berries.
We are excited to be a part of Windamere’s history, as this is truly a special place. If you are seeking something new and exciting or wanting the best of both worlds of living in a country setting but not too far away from city life…then the beauty and charm of Windamere is well worth your inspection.
