Just a 35 minute drive from Launceston in an area renowned for high quality wines, stately homes, horticulture, aquaculture, lavender, truffles and tourism is this unique 23 acre property that offers absolute peace and privacy, glorious water views, rich fertile land and a unique 1880′s historic home.
The house, designed by renowned Australian architect Alexander North, is grand and large whilst offering the warmth and charm of country living.
With further renovation potential the home boasts tall ceilings and wide hallways, beautiful fire places and good looking architecture.
Built from solid brick with a rendered finish the home offers 4 to 5 bedrooms, 2 are very large rooms and feature timber built in wardrobes. The remaining two bedrooms are still double size and have the original fire places and views of the river.
There are two bathrooms; both are beautifully tiled with heated towel rails, separate showers and pedestal vanities, one with a claw foot bath and floor heating.
The other heating in the house is central gas hydraulic heating, open fire place and a free standing wood heater.
There are two living areas to choose from, one at the front of the house with the open fire place and breathtaking views of the river and the other off the hall from the kitchen with adjoining walk through bar/study area perfect for entertaining.
The kitchen is an open plan design incorporating luxurious space for a large dining table plus casual living. Built from Blackwood the kitchen joinery is very accommodating with loads of bench space and smart European appliances.
The home still presents a lot of its original features such as large skirtings, picture rails, stained glass and individual timber mantles whilst a renovation extending the home in the late 80′s has been seamlessly added making it hard to see where the old meets the new.
Part of the new additions to this home is a large double garage with separate laundry and store room/cellar. The garage is conveniently positioned giving you dry access to the main home and helps create the sheltered court yard where you could easily enjoy a lazy breakfast.
The 23 acres has been divided into 5 separate areas. The land is very fertile and would easily keep cattle, sheep or horses.
The landscaping around the house retains some of the homes original garden with a number beautiful tree’s offering shaded areas. Finally there are two timber sheds, one 6/8 and the other 6/12 great for storing the caravan, boat or horse float.
With picturesque views of the Tamar River, neighbouring orchards and vineyards this property has loads of potential and would be an amazing sea change opportunity.
