4182 Huon Highway, Port Huon TAS 7116

Perched up high with spectacular views straight up the majestic Huon River, this early 1900s original home now has the added benefit of all the modern day comforts we have come to appreciate. The open plan living consists of a bright and airy space that takes full advantage of the views on offer through large double glazed picture windows. A full length solid concrete driveway provides easy access in all weather to the large garage under, complete with remote roller door.

The combination of old and new blends seamlessly between the lovely period ornate features of the original home and the fantastic open plan modern styling of the living space. Overlooking the dining is the kitchen which has vast granite bench tops, beautiful timber cabinetry and a gorgeous 900mm Falcon cooker. The remaining space is set aside for lounging with plenty of space to spread out, even for a grand piano.

Just off the living is a quaint snug. A great spot for watching TV or sitting back with a good book in front of the wood fire. There are also 3 reverse cycle air-conditioners to keep the home comfortable all year round, or more localised heating is available via an array of panel heaters throughout. A sound system by Sonos is integrated with built-in speakers and a retro record turntable for your old records. Simply plug your TV and speakers in for a seamless integration into system.

Tassie Oak timber floorboards provide a warm feel throughout and the high ceilings add to the wonderful sense of space. The large windows bring the outside inside and French doors open out to the front deck. Here there is an electric awning enabling you to choose full sun or shade when sitting back with a glass of wine, pondering the world. You'll want a telescope to take advantage of the panoramic vista on offer with Mt Sleeping Beauty as the centre point in the distance.

Down the hallway leads you through to the bedrooms and central bathroom, which has underfloor heating, a spa and a lovely bay window to the garden. Next to the bathroom is a separate powder room for convenience. At the end of the hall is the master bedroom suite, complete with ensuite bathroom and lounge area with a bay window that looks out to the garden. This would also make a fantastic guest accomodation, it is tucked away and has its own external access. Back in the day, this room was originally the main kitchen for the home. The home was once an apple orchardist's grand old farmhouse.

Out the back, there is a huge covered patio, surrounded by the well established garden setting. There is enough space here to entertain your friends and family all at once. The gardens come into their own during the spring and summer months, with a display of colour and lush new green growth. A large water tank collects rainwater ideal for gravity feeding into the paddock drinking troughs and a pressure pump will allow you to water the garden should that be required. The property otherwise benefits from town water supply.

Surrounding the home, there is 4.7 acres (1.916ha) of land including well-fenced pastures. Up the back is the original old apple barn with a shed/workshop and an attached old dairy. The old dairy was already converted as a shop for a successful specialist timber outlet, otherwise the owner has plans all drawn up for a full accommodation conversion should that be of interest. The old timber barn is huge, ideal for almost any project you may have in mind.

Located around a 45 minutes drive from the Hobart CBD, this property is between the main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville and the quaint country town of Geeveston, making it a very desirable position.
