43 Palmers Road, Castle Forbes Bay TAS 7116

Consisting of 8.4 acres (3.419ha), this very appealing property comes with two homes and magical water views. The main house is a modern country home perched at the top of the property with a commanding view over the entire property and straight up the Huon River with a mountain backdrop. Down below with its own access, the original 1950 cottage currently operates as visitor accommodation with excellent past bookings. Both homes are in fantastic condition and each come with their own double shed/garages. The property is mostly level to gently sloping and consists of well fenced pasture paddocks. There are 2 dams fed by a winter water source. An internal gravel road links the two properties together, otherwise each have their own access.

The main residence is located off a quiet no-through-road. As you arrive you enter through a convenient remote electric gate. The loop drive passes through a resort style carport at the entry, which is a beautiful, solid timber door. As you enter inside, the views of the river and mountains are instantly captivating through the huge picture windows that line the full length of the open plan living. There is a wonderful sense of space as you enter and natural light that fills the room. Fully double glazed and highly insulated, this is a very comfortable and energy efficient home.

Solar panels on the roof will assist you in reducing your power bills. A built-in wood fireplace is a real feature and provides lovely warmth in the cooler months as well as adding a snug atmosphere to the lounge area. A multi-zoned ducted reverse cycle air-conditioner will ensure all year round comfort. Central in the room is the family-sized dining table which takes in those amazing views. Adjacent is the sparkling kitchen. Consisting of quality appliances, the kitchen is both practical and looks amazing too. Down the hallway are 3 spacious bedrooms with built in robes. The master bedroom has a good sized ensuite and again, both capitalise on the views. From here, there is direct access to the covered entertaining deck. The deck is also accessed from the main living on the other side.

The cottage comes fully furnished and comes with a choice of how to operate the accommodation. Currently the owner has the whole lot managed with nothing to do except manage the gardens around the property. You may want to manage it yourself, or you may choose to only do part of the work, either way, the management company will be happy to work around your needs. Blocking out days when you have visitors will allow you to host your visiting guests or family, providing them with a touch of luxury when they come to stay. Consisting of an open plan living with a reverse cycle air-conditioner and wood fire, comfort is assured. There are 2 bedrooms and a lovely bathroom with a deep soaking bath.

Positioned between the historic riverside village of Franklin and the eclectic country town of Geeveston, there is plenty on offer to keep you occupied. The community spirit is well and truly alive with many activities on offer throughout the year. The main hub of the Huon Valley is only 20 minutes up the road and the Hobart CBD is around 50 minutes over the mountain. The property also has a mooring out in the bay. Correctly registered and maintained as per MAST requirements, this is an invaluable addition completing the package.
