Kayena is just minutes from Rowella, an idyllic area known largely for its superb wines and wineries, the Lavender Farm, aquaculture and horticulture to name a few.It is a great location for East or West Tamar workers and at around 35 minutes travel, an easy commute to Launceston. The property offering absolute peace and privacy is within 5 minutes walk of Bonnie Beach allowing you to go swimming, fishing or take part in your favourite water sports whenever the fancy strikes. Enveloped by extensive cottage gardens, you will find a 3 bedroom home, a self contained artist’s studio/cottage, a double garage, carport and an additional garage which has been carpeted and could perhaps be utilised as office space, a great teenagers retreat or rumpus room, the choice is yours ! Built in 1910, the main residence which was once the Kayena Post Office, although modernised, still oozes an ample abundance of genuine character and charm. Both the home and studio are privy to a diversity of views (either glorious gardens views or river views as far reaching as the Batman Bridge) from almost every window.Comprising a large entrance foyer (plenty of space for storing coats and kicking off your shoes in winter), three bedrooms (2 of which have walk in robes), a generous bathroom, large lounge/family/dining area and a country kitchen exuding all the warmth and ambience of yesteryear, incorporating a walk in pantry providing excellent storage and a fabulous stainless steel “Ilve” stove, the home has lovely polished floorboards throughout and a choice of wood, electric or gas ducted heating to keep you cosy during the winter months. The Artist’s Studio/cottage was certainly designed to take advantage of the expansive river views and would be an inspiration to anyone seeking the perfect working environment. Placed in a slightly elevated position, enfolded by a verandah on 3 sides, the cottage comprises a kitchenette, bathroom and spacious lounge/living/bedroom area. Two walls of windows not only create the illusion of greater open space, but invite sunshine and sensational views over Devil’s Elbow and the majestic Tamar River. Presenting a myriad of uses, whether your passion is painting, writing or simply a need for guest accommodation,you will be impressed. Offering just over 3 acres, featuring leafy sun dappled gardens, very much in keeping with the character of the home, you will delight in wandering through the vast array of trees, shrubs, roses, wisteria (stunning when in bloom), arbours and endless nooks and crannies, eventually taking you right down to the River’s edge, from your very own backyard (title to reserve). If peace and privacy combined with close proximity to the River are paramount in the purchase of your next home, you must see this property !
