11 Hill Street, Middleton TAS 7163

Stunning, beautiful, luxuriant - just a few words to describe the gorgeous gardens at "Ferndale". This delightful character home. Originally built in the mid 1800s then re-built in 1980, is surrounded by a gardener's paradise. Set on approximately 14.2 hectares of diverse land, the two storey celery top pine clad home is truly unique.

This character home features the use of many indigenous timbers which helps to create a distinctive ambience. Polished timber floors, wattle wall panelling and a solid Tasmanian Oak kitchen in the living space all combine to create a warm and inviting room.

The individually styled rear living room features a rare black, Tasmanian slate floor and a funky step down fireplace and conversation pit. The tinted glass roof and air conditioner ensure that you remain comfortable all year round.

The spacious master bedroom features a large, timber clad ensuite with a new shower cubicle whilst upstairs you'll find two attic bedrooms both with cedar dormer windows and views across to Bruny Island. These bedrooms are serviced by a large bathroom down the stairs which also features the rare, black, Tasmanian slate, celery top pine wall panelling and brass tapware.

Outside this home is where magic happens. The extensive deck to the side of the home is a fabulous entertaining space surrounded by manferns and vibrant garden beds. From the deck you can head up to the multiple veggie gardens or down to the gazebo with its hexagonal pond, an ideal place to rest and relax.

Now, you may think that all that sounds fabulous, and it is, but there's more! This property is a licenced deer farm. Currently running 7 female fallow deer, there is ample room for more and the whole property is fenced with approved deer fencing.
At the top end of the property you'll also find a large dam which supplies irrigation water to the gardens. If you hanker to be self-sufficient there are numerous varieties of fruit trees as well as a variety of berries along with a large chicken coop. To finish things off, there are two large garages with workshops attached styled to suit the character of the home. Approximately 1/3 of the property is bush with plenty of birds and wildlife. With so much on offer you must inspect this magnificent property for yourself.
