125 Swamp Road, Franklin TAS 7113

Perfectly positioned, facing due north to capture the sun all day and with sweeping views over the Huon River to Mount Wellington is this comfortable and flexible energy efficient home.
This home is situated on an elevated 10 acres with a mixture of pasture and tall native forest that slopes north. Located on a quiet country road just a short drive to Franklin or Huonville and 40 minutes from the CBD of Hobart.
With a large dam gravity feeding an established fruit and vegetable patch and a sophisticated combination of water tanks, pumps and a fire hydrant everything has been taken care of. There is 3.7kw of solar panels that feed back into the grid and go along way toward neutralizing the power use from the home and with a Biolitix wastewater treatment system this property will significantly minimize your footprint on the planet.

The ceiling insulation consists of a thermal blanket, batts, and phase change material (thermal mass), while the walls are insulated with batts and the slab is also insulated.
The home is clad with natural hardwood and comprises many design features including double glazed custom timber windows with low e glass and argon gas filled, a verandah that is angled to let in the sun for the cooler months and hide it in the summer months.
Under the roofline of the home there is a workshop storage area, laundry and second toilet which would make for an easy and affordable conversion into an average sized home but currently the home makes a great retreat, weekender or may just be perfect for a couple with simplicity in mind.
The owners have allowed for the expansion of the home or the construction along side of another with power, telephone, wastewater and excavations all in place for an extension.
The property features a sealed driveway, new fencing all around the house and garden areas and on some boundary lines plus a small hay shed with stock yards and a loading ramp.
The land comprises approximately half pasture and half bush featuring magnificent tall blue gums and some parkland like areas with pasture growing under the trees behind the home.

The view takes in the perfect mix of rolling pastures, bushland, distant mountains and the Huon River.
Ideally positioned in the beautiful Huon Valley all this lies within a short drive to Hobart, the ocean, World Heritage area and there is so much natural beauty and outdoor adventure so close to your doorstep.
