18 Shelly Beach Road, Koonya TAS 7187

Situated on 2.985ha of beautiful pastoral land this 1910 home has many original period features and enjoys water views over Norfolk Bay. If only the floorboards could talk and tell the tales of over a century of comings and goings. The north facing sunroom will become a favourite space for reading or keeping houseplants drenched in sunlight. The understated fireplaces in the generous lounge room and three bedrooms creates ambiance and warmth for all the family.
Thoughtfully the kitchen and bathroom have been updated to blend with original. The cooks kitchen has a Nectre wood fire oven and stove top, additional Westinghouse freestanding stove, Aeg dishwasher, LG fridge and microwave, double sink and walk-in pantry. The bathroom has a lovely full bath for soaking tired muscles or giving the kids water-play before bedtime. New pure wool carpet has been laid through the bedrooms and living room and the front 2 bedrooms and living room are all freshly painted.

The orchard has several varieties of apples, plums, apricot, fig, mulberries as well as hazelnut trees. It's been farmed completely organically for the last 8 years with no pesticides or chemicals. The fertile soil on that block would lend itself to expand the orchard or create a vegetable garden or horticulture enterprise. This is a lifestyle property for creating a simple life in sync with the seasons and filled with nostalgia.
