199 Dowlings Road, Huonville TAS 7109

Positioned high up in the hills of Huonville, this 55 Acre (22.61ha) property, is an ideal mix of rolling pastures and native bush. The most amazing part is the view from the clever positioning of the low-maintenance 2 storey home that you will never take for granted. The views are as expansive as you can imagine a valley view can be. What seems like the entire Huon Valley is on show with rural pastures, Huonville, the surrounding hills, the Huon River and the mountains in the distance, all in the panoramic vista.

Dowlings Rd is a no-through-road that winds up to the property, which is tucked away enjoying complete privacy. The home sits well within the 55 acres, perched on the hill with lots of good usable land all around it, ideal for gardens, veggies, fruit trees and paddocks. Set-up to be self-sufficient, there is a 6.5kW solar system complete with a huge Samsung power storage unit as well as being connected to grid power to feed back in for credits.

Self-sufficiency continues with a large house water collection tank and a 42,000L purpose built extra water storage tank ensures you have an excessive amount of rainwater supply. The netted veggie gardens and fruit tree enclosures are vast and provide a variety of spaces all protected from the local wildlife. A chicken coop will provide you with farm fresh eggs daily and the paddocks are ideal for a few sheep, cows or even horses.

Inside, the practical brick exterior is contrasted with a warm and inviting chalet feel. The high vaulted timber ceilings along with the intriguing style and design make this home very welcoming. The open plan living spreads right across the front of the home with views out over the valley from every space. A sunroom captures the sun during the cooler months allowing you to capitalise on free warmth. The lounge area has a built-in wood fire, and above that a reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep you comfortable all year round.

Timber floors and a newly refurbished timber kitchen add to the warm appeal. The kitchen has a gorgeous country centre work bench, a walk-in pantry and the new range wood-fired stove will provide you with plenty of hearty meals. Down on this level is the main bathroom with a corner spa and upstairs, you will find 3 bedrooms with another bathroom.

Back outside, the pastures are lush with green growth throughout most of the year, only drying off in peak summer. A small dam is useful for the animals, both domestic and visiting. The vast areas of bushland is teaming with wildlife and and birdlife, with plenty of opportunities to create your own walking tracks through your own private forest. With 55 acres on offer, not only are you incredibly private, but will also allow you to spread out.

This self-sufficient property with so much on offer is quite rare so close to the services of Huonville and access to commute in and out of Hobart. The CBD is around 30 minutes by car.
