Finally, an opportunity for a stress-free, escapist existence that someone else has already set up for you!
Walk away from the rat race and walk straight into your very own piece of private paradise that is still less than 30 minutes from Hobart. The extensive infrastructure that has been established on this secluded, 50 acre property means your dreams of a sustainable, bill-free lifestyle can actually be a reality. If this sounds like something you’ve always longed for but have been unable to even start visualising, then the beautiful thing is all the hard work has been done. All you have to do is relax and enjoy life in your self-sufficient haven, leaving home only if you choose to go boating from the local marina, eat lunch at one of the excellent restaurants nearby or discover why this region of Tasmania is such a popular tourist destination.
The modern, 4 bedroom home has a huge open plan living area that absorbs warmth through the double glazed windows and stores this heat in the polished concrete flooring. The large windows also allow you to appreciate the solitude of the surrounds as well as the view across the Channel to Bruny Island. The wood heater has a 5kW wet back and a twin top cooking area big enough for 4 pots and heats the home, on average, to 24 – 26 degrees when needed. It also has a full size roasting oven. The kitchen boasts a gas stove with gas oven and grill, a dishwasher and a walk in pantry.
The property consists of 2 hectares of river flats, 10 ha of open forest grazing and 8 ha of bush area for fire wood. There are 4 paddocks, currently home to Dorper Sheep, with a holding pen and sheep shelter. The fencing is all under 2 years old and a 4WD road runs around the top of the property and along most of the creek with a walking track on the last 100 metres. Power is supplied by an off grid solar system with a 3kW power inverter, 12 x 130 watt solar panels, 6,500 amp battery storage plus 3 x 15 amp wind generators. Water is via 2 x 23,000 litre tanks with 1 x 10,000L gravity supply and a fire water line is fitted for fast filling along with fire sprinklers along the front of the house. There’s a large 4 x 8m vegetable garden, a 4 x 4m netted fruit orchard and a small area of table grapes has been planted.
Shed storage consists of a lock up 10 x 7m that has 2 x roller doors, a personal door, 2 windows with power and water connected. The annex is an open, 7 x 4.5m with space for 2 cars as well as firewood. The other shed is a 3 sided, 12 x 7m for hay and tractor storage. Access is via a very well maintained driveway that is big enough for trucks to pass each other. The south boundary is the permanent Oyster Cove Rivulet which is stocked with trout and platypus. School buses run along the connecting main road as there are popular primary and high schools close by, there’s a corner store just down the road and if you really need a serious shop, Kingston is only 15 minutes away.
