140 Christmas Hill Road, Elizabeth Town TAS 7304

Nestled amongst and backing on to State Reserve, this 3 bedroom weatherboard house was built in the 1980s and is the perfect family home or holiday house, with wood-fired heater, country kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom with separate toilet.

The house is set upon approximately 15.5ha (38 acres) of land. Approximately half of the land is cleared with seven established paddocks with water troughs and permanent electric fencing, two creeks, and a spring fed dam. The other half of the land is bush with an abundance of wildflowers and a rare Eucalyptus Ovata forest (with protective covenant). There is a large stock of standing timber providing a constant supply of firewood. There is also plenty of room for horses, cattle, sheep and dirt-bikes.
The house itself has recently undergone renovations, with new floor finishes, and has been painted externally. The home is very comfortable and charming in its rural setting and has an excellent orientation for all day sun to the living areas. The kitchen has a wood fired slow-combustion stove, together with a second free standing (electric) oven.

The hot water is dual combustion/electric powered. If solar panels were installed, you could avoid any future electricity bills and live off-grid.

The open-plan kitchen/dining area, which includes a walk-in pantry, leads directly onto the north facing deck for connected indoor/outdoor spaces. The kitchen and deck feature a great outlook to the ridge and along the long, open plane that stretches to the State Forest.

Surrounding the home are a number of outbuildings, including:
- A polished timber floored entertainment building which has previously been used as a bar and band room, with plenty of space and existing lighting for an eight-ball table.
- A garage with storage loft.
- A combined barn and workshop.

There is 30,000 litres of water storage across a number of storage tanks, providing year-round rainwater. The spring fed dam provides ample water for your vegetable and flower garden.
