It is the diversity and location of this property that is so appealing. Set on 10.5 acres (4.268ha), there is a wonderful mix of native Tassie forest, a rivulet that runs through the property just in front of the home, well fenced pasture paddocks and plenty of shed space. The house area is wallaby proofed, allowing you to have a landscaped garden setting. There are fruit trees, nuts, and ornamental trees & shrubs scattered around the home, creating a lovely park-like feel. The massive elevated deck over looks Clarks Rivulet that runs past, right through the middle of the property. Lined with ferns and willows, there are multiple points of access to the rivulet. Fantastic grassy patches provide great spots for picnicking, playing with the family or sitting around a fire pit and a swimming waterhole is ideal for the pets and the kids to splash about in the the summer months. Across the rivulet there are Blackwoods and gorgeous tall gums that cover the hill directly opposite the home, providing an amazing lush backdrop framing the vista from the deck, the lounge, dining and kitchen. This really is your own private oasis of native wet forest within peaceful rural surrounds.
Across the rivulet the track leads to a huge pasture paddock, up on a plateau next to the forest, also giving you access up to the back of the property. This could be the spot for the horses or maybe some sheep. Back on the same side of the house, there are more fenced paddocks with a separate gated entrance. Visible from the house, you would see your animals roaming about here. A large workshop and machinery shed is ideal for that tractor you've always wanted and still room for the workshop and a garage for the family car in close proximity to the front door. A clever porch provides great all weather cover before you enter the home.
Inside, there is a separate lounge with large picture windows that look out over the deck and forest with the rivulet at the bottom. The main family room and dining has access straight onto the deck with the very stylish and super practical kitchen off to the side. The kitchen is huge and has plenty of storage as well and quality appliances. The master bedroom and 2 spare rooms are serviced by a 2 way bathroom doubling as the main bathroom and the ensuite. A wood fire provides a snug atmosphere in the cooler months and 2 reverse cycle air-conditioners will keep you comfortable all year round. Double glazed and well insulated, this home is also very energy efficient as well as being low-maintenance. Should you be looking for more space in the home, the owners have recently achieved planning approval for an extension to the living area, including an attached double garage and under storage or office space. If another bedroom and ensuite would suit your needs, then a minor amendment would achieve that (stca). Please ask for the currently approved plans should that be of interest.
Located up a quiet county road that heads up into the hills, there will only be local traffic passing by. Franklin is 5 minutes by car. This historic riverside village is super quaint and offers a great variety of eateries, from fish and chips and Asian/Australian fusion to Italian and good old pub food. Known for all things wooden boats, the activities available in Franklin will keep you busy should you want to be. Just up the road 10 minutes is the main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville, where you will find all your need, including a supermarket, doctors and a variety of shops and services. Hobart is a 45 minute commute.
