Situated on 24 acres of prime north facing farmland with sweeping views of the Huon estuary is this fully renovated 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom large family home.
Approaching the estate via the tree-lined driveway, your eyes are automatically drawn to the sweeping views of the deep blue Huon River with the hills and forests of the Cygnet peninsular beyond. The home, surrounded by immaculately kept gardens, lush lawns and professionally built dry stone walling, is bathed in sun-light, benefiting from the perfect northerly aspect.
Entering the home from the full width sun terrace, you realise that this house has been meticulously renovated with an eye for detail and no expense spared. The recently renovated kitchen, complete with Caeserstone bench-tops and quality European appliances is open plan to the spacious light filled family room. The formal dining and unique sunken lounge surrounding the fireplace are ideal for those cold winter nights. Further, on the ground floor, are a large 3rd double bedroom with BIR, and a 4th bedroom currently used as a home office with direct views over the gardens and driveway. To complete the ground floor is the laundry, with direct access to the rear verandah, and the main bathroom, with large bath, separate shower, beautiful feature tiling and under floor heating.
Upstairs features a large private lounge with viewing area, two bedrooms and a very handy separate store room. The bedrooms are huge with panoramic double-glazed windows facing the water. The master bedroom features a full bank of built in robes, and renovated ensuite.
Importantly, the property has access to the NBN wireless network.
At the rear of the home, behind the spectacular dry stone walling is a fully enclosed veggie patch and small orchard containing a variety of stone fruit trees. Much of the property is prime grazing land and while currently operating as a hobby farm running a few head of cattle and alpacas, there is potential for a variety of agricultural and lifestyle uses. Quality fencing, including a large section of post and rail, provides a horse-safe environment in the lush paddocks surrounding the house. While the house itself is on town water, irrigation for the property is not an issue with an enormous 80 metre long 5 mega litre dam situated behind the house and a smaller spring fed dam supplying water to the upper reaches of the property. The estate is complemented with a full range of outbuildings including hay sheds, animal shelter, wood shed, garden sheds and a lock up garage with carport. The property also boasts a well-designed compact cattle yard system, complete with crush, ramp and easy road access.
Castle Forbes Bay is a small friendly rural community only 45 minutes drive from the Hobart CBD. Less than 15 minutes away is the town of Huonville, a thriving commercial centre able to provide all your schooling, shopping, and service needs.
