Located up a quaint county lane, this property is surrounded by a gorgeous rural and mountain landscape within a peaceful and friendly community. Just a few minutes from the main road between Huonville (Hub of the Huon Valley) and Hobart (30 minutes by car), there is a lot to love about this property. Consisting of 2 acres (8037m2), the property offers 3 separate fenced paddocks, veggie beds and scattered fruit trees. The main house and a separate accommodation are both nestled in amongst lavish well established gardens. There is a double carport and old sheds ideal for storage, the workshop and garden shed.
The main home has a wonderful 1950s country farmhouse feel. Extended over the years, it is now a 4 bedroom home with a spacious semi-open plan living, central kitchen and conservatory style dining area. French doors lead out to the front verandah, an ideal spot to sit back with a cup of tea and a good book. There are bay windows off the two front bedrooms adding to the charm of the home. Fireplaces make lovely features, one has a built-in wood fire to keep you snug through the cooler months. The kitchen is the centre of the home (literally) and offers a practical space to cook up a storm.
Another set of French doors lead out to the back patio and a covered walkway leads you up to the separate accommodation known as The Chalet. Here there is a large open plan living with a kitchenette and a bathroom. Up the stairs, the whole upper floor is dedicated to the bedroom suite with a Juliette balcony that overlooks the gardens and surrounding vistas. Operating as guest accommodation, the chalet has been very popular and more often occupied than vacant. Being so close to the main house, yet so private, the chalet would also suit close or visiting family.
The garden is the hero of this property with so many well established plants there are too many to list. The owners have achieved a garden that flowers throughout the year. It flows wonderfully from one area to the other with hiding nooks for the kids and a covered spot in the middle to sit back and take it all in. There are purposely planted bushes to attract birds (3 of which are endangered). Up the back, a poly tunnel is ideal for the tomatoes and chilli right next to the shade house. As well as the veggie beds to grow your own produce, there are plenty of fruit trees too including apple, pear, quince, loquat, mulberry, crabapple, cherry, grapes and 7 different types of berries.
Beyond that, there are 3 separate individually fenced paddocks. The side paddock has direct road access which wraps around the house and gardens. This leads to the two back paddocks, one has an animal shelter as well. Keep chickens, have a few sheep, or maybe a cow and some alpacas, the choice is yours. Completing the self-sufficiency and low-cost living are the solar panels and the solar hot-water system, enormously reducing your power bills.
