A property on a few acres of pasture with a large shed, ample water supply and a home to which nothing needs doing; lately these have been as rare as hen’s teeth. Bigger than it looks at 158 m2 (17 sq) this home, just a couple of kilometres out of Lilydale, offers all this and more.

Converted to comfortable living from what was once a restaurant the huge central living space has raked ceilings, rustic timber beams, polished floorboards and a roaring log fire at its heart. The recent addition of timber decking has enhanced and further expanded the living space.

The kitchen has a huge walk-in pantry, once a cool room the insulation remains and could easily be converted back, or used as an office. Three bedrooms, main has large built-in robe and all-day sun; staircase off main living to a cute attic storeroom.

30 000 litres (6400 gallons) of tank water and permanent ground water from spring fed creek that feeds two dams. A 15m by 6m lockable shed on concrete slab with easy access and several other farm outbuildings complete your storage requirements.

Easily maintained established gardens include apple, apricot, nectarine and plum trees while the resident four sheep take care of the grass that the mower doesn’t cover.

With school buses at the gate to the highly regarded Lilydale School (Kindergarten to Yr 10) and available from Lilydale to schools in Launceston shouldn’t you consider this picture book pretty valley for your family?
