305 Allens Rivulet Road, Allens Rivulet TAS 7150

Located in a highly sought after area approximately 20 minutes from Hobart, this charming and peaceful home is nestled on 3 acres with direct access to the Allens Rivulet track, and offers so many options for those seeking a more relaxed and rewarding lifestyle.

Step through the entrance porch into the foyer, with large coat cupboard and access to roof space. From here glass doors lead into the formal lounge with French doors opening onto one of two covered decks overlooking the cottage gardens and paddocks.

The spacious kitchen includes an enormous walk in pantry, new gas stove top and beautiful lead-light windows. Adjoining is the dining or family room, with wood burning stove and another set of French doors leading to a large undercover wooden deck, where you can BBQ for friends and family or just soak up the serene, country ambience.

There are four good-sized bedrooms (one currently used as a study), serviced by the family bathroom with shower, separate bath, slate floors and timber vanity. A separate toilet adjoins the laundry area with airing cupboard. The master bedroom has its own ensuite shower and toilet, and separate access through French doors to a pebbled courtyard.

There is a large, double colorbond garage with extra high roof height and upper storage area, and plenty of extra parking for vehicles in the enclosed driveway. Additional storage is provided under the house.

The property has two large water tanks and the lush green paddocks all have electric fencing and have been used very successfully for sheep, horse agistment and for hay bale production (The Rivulet Riding School is next door, across the rivulet). Water is also pumped up from the rivulet to an additional garden tank.

The house is all on one level surrounded by cottage garden beds. There are lovely lawns and a separate fenced vegetable plot with raised beds and raspberry bushes that has produced abundant fresh produce (manure is never in short supply!). Fresh eggs are also provided by a flock of free-range chickens with a hen house that leads onto an open paddock and rivulet scrub area.

There is so much to love about this unique property that sits so harmoniously with its environment, with plenty of opportunity for a more self-sufficient lifestyle or just a peaceful escape from the rat-race.
