The original owner of this beautiful 1900′s residence was a notable farmer by the name of Mr Bealey’ and I reckon he’d give his seal of approve if he saw the remarkable changes to his home today

In a pretty little spot by a crystal-clear mountain stream in Lenah Valley sits this beautifully restored and elegant character home. The 13 acre (5.5 Hectares approx) property is accessed via Lenah Valley Road, in a secluded but easily accessible location under the towering presence of Mount Wellington
In fact, it’s hard to believe that here amongst the quiet serenity of the valley, the centre of Hobart is just 7 minutes away!

The approach to the home crosses a timber culvert and comes to a stop at a gravel courtyard. Around the courtyard is a farm shed and triple-bay garage that has been partially converted to create a superb self-contained guest suite.
The residence itself offers the charm of the Federation-era and the total liveability’ that comes with an ultra-modern remastered interior. The brick construction features handmade sandstone lintels over the original windows, while the extensions have been sensitive to the Federation-style in using a weatherboard exterior. Windows in the new parts of the home have been framed with Western Red Cedar and panelled with either double glazing or comfort glass’ for superior thermal efficiency.
Throughout living areas, the 100+ year old timber floors have been refinished to an impressive shine and colour in the process removing 100+ years of wear and grime, whilst revealing a floor that could easily be taken for freshly-milled Tasmanian Oak.

The original part of the home features sympathetically remastered formal dining and lounge rooms. They are complete with high ceilings and beautifully restored ornate fireplaces with a hand carved Kauri Pine over-mantle’. Forming a central feature in the home is a timber balustrade leading upstairs to two loft-style bed-sits, perfect for children’s accommodation.

Your kitchen is a chef’s dream, lavishly appointed with top quality cabinetry, two ovens, gas hob, island bench and an open layout. A kitchen-servery counter overlooks an adjacent family dining area which steps out onto a sun-drenched front verandah.

The newer section of the home combines old with new [seamlessly] and features a stunning main bathroom with claw-foot tub as well as a reading room, large individual bedrooms, powder room and laundry. Nothing has been overlooked and every piece of work has been done to the highest standards.

Outside and around the property, there’s a netted orchid growing hazel nuts, apricots, apples and pears – plus acres of fenced pasture to keep horses and livestock. This is easily one of the most special properties we’ve ever had the privilege to offer for sale. If you have an opportunity to inspect, I’m sure Mr Bealey would strongly urge you to consider taking the quick trip up to 400 Lenah Valley Road. Call now and arrange a time!
