It is the desirable location and the ideal land size that make this property so appealing and a great self-sufficient lifestyle property. Consisting of 2.8 acres (1.13ha), the layout has been cleverly thought through. As you arrive, the home is set back from the road, accessed up a gravel drive to the double garage which provides internal access into the home. The park-like front yard provides a lovely welcome to the property with mature trees dotted around the mostly level grounds, including a beautiful white gum at the top of the driveway. Lovely established gardens surround the home creating an ever changing colour throughout the year. A fully separately fenced paddock up the back will allow you to have a pony or some sheep and a cow or two. The veggie and fruit tree enclosure and the chicken coop provides you with home-grown produce and farm-fresh eggs.
The home is a solid brick residence with a fantastic northern aspect capturing the sun all year round. As you walk through the front door, there is a traditional formal lounge with an open fireplace to one side, and a spacious, modern lounge to the other. Here, the open plan living wraps around to the dining and the kitchen, where French doors lead back into the formal lounge. Large picture windows allow lots of natural light to flood into the rooms as well as creating beautiful framed views of the gardens and the surrounding hills. The garden was specifically designed to look fantastic from inside the home.
A slow combustion wood fire in the main living provides both warmth throughout in the cooler months, as well as a cosy atmosphere. There is a huge amount of space for the family to spread out. The dining area is big enough for a large table capable to entertain all the family and friends. The kitchen offers lots of bench space and is also bright and airy with lovely views to the garden. Off the dining area, there is access to a covered patio, great for the BBQ and provides a link to the backyard. Fully fenced , this area is ideal for the kids or the family pet to run around in, securely contained.
Right up the back, the paddock provides lush pastures, ideal to have some animals, or just enjoy the space it provides. The rural surrounds are just mesmerising. Green rolling hills scattered with native forest provide a calming atmosphere. Bakers Creek Rd is a no-through road, making this area peaceful. Sitting back in the garden, you will mostly hear the rustle in the breeze in the trees and the tweeting of the many birds that the garden attracts, including Blue Wrens and Scarlet Robins, and Wedge-tailed Eagles that soar overhead.
Back inside, a corridor leads to the 4 bedrooms. One is set-up as the study, another the gym and another the guest bedroom. The master is opposite the family bathroom. Down the end, you are led directly into the garage. There is plenty of space here for two cars, or one car and a workshop and storage.
Not only is this location picturesque, but also within a comfortable 30 minute commute to Hobart should that be required. The main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville is 10 minutes away, where you will find all your major services. This really is a great setting within a great area, complimented with an ideal self-sufficient lifestyle and a spacious easy-maintenance home to complete the package.
