They don't come much more idyllic than this utterly charming early 1900 home. As you come up the driveway, you can't help but instantly fall in love. The home sits proud amongst its own gardens overlooking the rolling green pastures that surround it. There is an old barn up the back that oozes character, with deciduous trees scattered around some big old gums, setting the most perfect country scene. Sitting amongst a gorgeous rural setting with sheep and horses that visit you along the fence line will make you feel like you own a farm, yet the 1940m2 (half an acre) is an ideal easy-care property to maintain.

Inside, the renovations have preserved and even enhanced the gorgeous period features of this lovely home. The timber floors throughout are simply stunning, along with the high ceilings, the ornate cornices, beautiful lead-light glass and the many open fireplaces. The spaces flow wonderfully to create a flexible floor plan depending on your needs. There are enough rooms for up to 5 bedrooms if you need them, otherwise ideal as 3 bedrooms 2 living spaces, a sunroom and separate studio or home office.

The main living is open plan to the dining and kitchen. Here there are large picture windows that look out over the pastures and let sun flood into the space. A cosy wood fire will keep you snug in the cooler months and the reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep you comfortable all year round. A heat transfer system cleverly carries the warmth to other areas of the house.

The kitchen is perfectly in keeping and fitted with quality Bosch appliances. From here there is a lovely view over the garden and the character filled old barn. Currently set-up with 4 different living zones, there is a choice of sitting back in the sun drenched sunroom which has access to the sun deck through gorgeous French doors. Or you may want a more formal setting with an open fireplace to kick back with a good book.

The bedrooms are spacious and come with built in robes and also enjoy open fireplace mantles. The family bathroom is also spacious with a walk-in shower separate bathtub. A central room makes for a great home office space, with wireless NBN already connected. Here there is another open fireplace and a clever attic ladder provides easy access to the roof space for storage.

Out through the laundry takes you to a separate studio that is just another useful space. Use this as secure storage, the home office or art studio.

Positioned just a couple of minutes by car from the centre of the quaint township of Geeveston makes this location very practical too. Geeveston has many lovely eateries, a small supermarket, pharmacy, doctors, butcher and gift shops. There is a farmers market to meet others and buy local produce. A huge park with a river walk that leads to a platypus viewing platform. Geeveston is fast becoming a desirable country town around 50 minutes from the Hobart CBD.
