218 Lachlan Road, Lachlan TAS 7140

Family held for almost 100 years, Brookside Estate is found in the lush Derwent Valley, gateway to the Western Tasmania World Heritage Area, & located only a short drive from historic New Norfolk, an English-style village of stone houses and leafy town square.

Offering private country living with an approachable land parcel of approx. 3.8 acres, this character filled 1956 constructed, brick and tile home, is set amongst picturesque rolling countryside and is adjacent to the meandering Lachlan River.

Entering the property through original double doors, you are struck by a great sense of space and light. Featuring period character, this solid home benefits from a great deal of modernisation, including electrical upgrades and timber floors. Moving to the hub of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining area, you will find a sleek white kitchen that enjoys plenty of bench and cupboard space, while large windows provide a great perspective of the surrounding yard.

This warm home also benefits from three large size bedrooms, of which all are flooded with natural light and two have built-in robes. There is also a large recently renovated family bathroom, excellent storage, a separate laundry and a second toilet.

Stepping outside, the large wrap-around veranda is the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining and provides relaxed views over the land and down to the flowing river. Separate to the house is a substantial garage and workshop space that is also powered, and the property's fences are in excellent condition.

Located just 35 minutes drive from Hobart, and only moments from Gourmet Traveller contributing food editor Rodney Dunn's Agrarian Kitchen farm-based cooking school and restaurant, Brookfield Estate presents a rare opportunity to escape to the country and embrace of life of sustainability.
