173 Guys Road, Cygnet TAS 7112

Nestled in a rural valley, this property offers peace and tranquility, yet is walking distance to the vibrant town of Cygnet. Every morning you will wake to the sound of birdsong and frog calls and your morning coffee will take in views of the lake and the forested hillside beyond.

Built in early 2017 the north facing home is constructed of straw bales with a front feature wall of spotted gum, the interiors make stunning use of recycled bricks and timber and a polished concrete floor gives year round comfort. Add to this the use of highly efficient double glazing and the home achieved an enviable 8.7R energy rating. Which makes it wonderfully warm and cozy in winter, yet naturally cool during the hot summer days.

This delightfully low maintenance home encourages you to live a simple, more natural way of life. Foraging for fruit and veggies in the netted garden, cooking on the wood-fired slow combustion stove, soaking in the luxury of a deep rainwater filled bath or even a dip in the lake to start the day or cool off in summer.

There are more than 16 acres in total, mostly native forest, with numerous stands of blue gums. However the house garden consists of around 1 acre, it is fully fenced with wallaby netting and there is a further acre or so of pasture, enough for a few sheep or a pony.

One of the true assets here is water, the lake near the home is used for swimming and irrigation. There is a second dam in the pasture paddock and Galleries Rivulet also flows through the property.

The home is two bedrooms and one bathroom with a large carport off the back containing the laundry. There is also a timber garden/woodshed and a fantastic studio space which has its own driveway access and yard making it ideal for many future uses like separate accommodation(STCA).

The home is connected to the NBN and has a 3.6kw grid connect solar system as well as a wetback on the combustion stove to keep power bills down.

It is rare for a home of this quality to come on the market, particularly so close to town but still feeling so private. Please call for an inspection as it's by appointment only.
