Positioned up a sealed, quiet country lane, just up from the pristine waters of the Huon River, this spacious family home has undergone extensive extensions and a very tasteful complete renovation. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and enjoying the benefit of 15 acres (6 ha), there is everything here to be completely self sufficient. Facing due north, there is always plenty of sunshine, even throughout the winter months.
New fences keep the wallabies at bay, the paddocks are lush and feed filled ready for another bumper year, providing up to 1000 bales of hay each year. The 3 dams provide endless water, one is piped down to be used for the gardens, the fully electrified veggie patch enclosure and the 50+ mixed fruit tree orchard, all organically managed. There are several timber sheds to house the hay, the wood, the tractor, the boat and provide great workshop space. The grounds are picturesque and lovingly manicured.
Inside, the 23 square home has a wonderfully practical layout. There are 2 separate living areas. One is the formal lounge with feature fireplace and lovely big French doors that open up onto a sundeck which overlooks the garden. The other is the big open plan family room with expanses of windows bringing the outside in. There is a lounge at one end and a dining in the middle. The kitchen at the other end is impressive, fitted with quality appliances, which includes a 5 burner gas cook top and has an enormous walk in larder with own work space. From the family room there is access to the entertaining deck with views out to the snow-capped Hartz Mountains and the Huon River.
At the other end of the house there is the spacious king sized master bedroom with own ensuite and walk in robe. Big bay windows let the views in here too and a door leads directly to the sundeck. The other 2 bedrooms are Queen sized and have built in robes. The family bathroom is a good size and is centrally located.
Quality is evident throughout the house. There is Myrtle and Tasmanian Oak built in local furniture and the big floor tiles compliment the quality. There is underfloor heating in most tiled areas, the wood fire in the lounge and timer operated panel heaters for the bedrooms to keep the house snug and warm in the cooler months.
The top of the property provides sweeping views across the River and to the wilderness mountains beyond. This would make a fabulous spot for holiday accommodation (stca), there really is a multitude of opportunities here for the astute buyer.
Just at the bottom of the lane is the shores of the Huon River which is always picturesque and ever changing and known for some of the best boating and fishing around. The road is used by locals only and you may come across the occasional lost tourist. The thriving town of Cygnet is just over the hill, well known for its cultural atmosphere. Huonville is 15 minutes away, where you will find all your services. Hobart is easily accessible too, just 45 minutes to the CBD.
This property really does offer a fantastically comfortable lifestyle with the option of self sufficiency and income potential too. Please contact us anytime for further information or to arrange an inspection of this truly stunning property.
