They don't come much more special than this one! Positioned in arguably one of the most sought after locations within the Huon Valley, this gorgeous residence sits perched up on the hill overlooking the Port Cygnet Bay with the yacht club at the bottom of the lane. The views are expansive, taking in the boats moored in the bay and all the surrounding hills perfectly framing the vista. Consisting of 25 acres (10.26ha) of lovely rolling pastures, the home sits proud amongst a manicured garden setting. The pastures are currently agisted out to a race-horse breeder, should you not want to use the land yourself.
As you turn up the hill from the bay, the property becomes apparent on the hill. As you approach the entry the home disappears within the private oasis of its own garden setting. The driveway cleverly curves around along a tree lined entry that leads to an electric gated entrance to the large gravel parking area. Immediately, you are impressed with the grandness of this beautifully thought through home. The period styling of a by-gone era captures the heart. Originally built in 2010, and then meticulously renovated to a very high standard, has taken this 372m2 home into 'Grand Residence' status with all the modern comforts you would expect today.
As you enter, the attention to detail, style and class is evident throughout every element of the home. The period features include French doors, high ceilings, timber floors, dado walls and ornate skirting boards. The modern features such as the vast open plan that flows from one area to another, the dual heat transfer system and excellent insulation all add to create a very enjoyable environment. A fully integrated Sonos sound system is ready to go with built in speakers throughout the home. There are multiple living spaces. The formal lounge is homely and a second living room is bright and spacious with large picture windows that overlook the panoramic vista. A wood fire here creates both warmth and a lovely atmosphere. Another wood fire is central to the home with the formal dining room on one side and another retreat space ideal as the snug on the other. On this side the Cheminee Phillipe fireplace can be opened up and enjoyed as an open fire.
The kitchen has been beautifully finished with a country feel, including stone bench tops and a Shaws Ribchester ceramic sink with fluted detail and a lifetime warranty, and high end appliances such as the Belling stove and Miele dishwasher. The kitchen also enjoys a lovely view down to the bay and comes with a practical walk-in pantry and a breakfast dining area. There are 3 bathrooms servicing 5 bedrooms, one of which is currently used as the home office. The central bathroom has been fitted out with Perrin and Rowe tap ware and basins exuding classic elegance. A clawfoot bath adds to the luxury feel. The spacious master bedroom also enjoys those amazing views and has access to the verandah through French doors. The lavish ensuite even has a spa and on the other side there is a large walk-in-robe. The other bathroom is also an ensuite to what is a gorgeous room for your visiting guests. Throughout the home, the owners have cleverly made feature walls utilising textured wallpaper that adds beautiful points of interest in every space.
The home has a wrap around verandah with ornate features, maintaining a timeless style. This provides multiple outdoor entertaining options with either water and valley views or a lovely setting overlooking the gardens. A matching double garage is ideal to house the vehicles, with a 4th toilet should you need it from the garden. Out the back, a chicken coop will provide you with fresh eggs and the enclosed veggie garden will provide fresh produce. The 60,000L of rainwater storage ensures the home and gardens are well serviced. Surrounded by your own undulating pastures, within picturesque rural surrounds assuring you of complete privacy, peace and quiet. There are 2 large dams and the front paddock comes with an extra high 12m x 7m hay shed accessed directly from Jetty Road should you want to try your hand at growing hay or running your own stock. Otherwise, it is a great extra offering for the agistment of horses.
The Cygnet township is just a couple of minutes by car and is known as the Cultural centre of the Huon Valley and provides a mix of cafes, shops and services. Hobart is around 45 minutes away and the hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville is around 15 minutes away.
