2 Archers Road, Franklin TAS 7113

Situated amongst rolling green hills and apple orchards is "Ashtree Cottage", where you will find your dreams of self-sufficiency become reality.

Originally built in the 1920's, the cottage boasts 3 large bedrooms which retain some original features, and a country kitchen with brand new dishwasher, Belling stove and ceramic sink. There is a large picture window in the lounge room overlooking the gardens. A Saxon wood fire (only a few years old) and a heat pump will keep you comfortable all year round. Every window from the home captures views of the magical gardens and rural vistas. There is a spacious bathroom, separate toilet, large laundry room, and a wonderful utility room that could be used as a rumpus, craft/hobby room, home office or even a 4th bedroom.

Of the 5.2 acres, the house yard sits on around 1/5. There are several fenced pasture paddocks for livestock and chicken pens. A large fenced orchard planted with over 20 varieties of fruit trees now 4 years old, berries and citrus, a huge vegetable garden and a poly tunnel. With a winter creek, spring fed dam, reliable bore water and 2 rainwater tanks, you will never run out of water. The gardens are enchanting and winding paths lead through beds of rare, unusual and beautiful bulbs, shrubs and leafy trees. For your outside jobs, a lockable timber lined workshop with 3 phase power, a 3 bay machinery shed, carport and garden shed.

There is plenty of sunshine, even in winter, as the property sits above the fog line! Solar panels and an evaporative hot water cylinder help to keep power costs down. A school bus to the front gate, and an easy 45 minute commute to Hobart.

This property is a rare find. Just move in and enjoy the peace, tranquillity and abundance a self-sufficient lifestyle offers.
