454 New Road, Franklin TAS 7113

What a spot this is, truly above it all sitting at 450m up in the hills, yet only minutes to the historic riverside town centre of Franklin. Comprising of 9 acres (3.647ha), there is a perfect mix of pasture and native Tassie forest with tall gums and ferns to discover. Set-up to be self-sufficient, the solar system will keep your bills down whilst you enjoy your homegrown produce and fresh farm eggs.

The well insulated, low-maintenance home, offers a lovely open plan living and kitchen area that looks straight out over the covered entertaining, through to the alpine-like views straight down the valley and to the hills on the other side. The kitchen is a real focal point, complete with reconstituted granite work surfaces, a new dishwasher, a multi burner gas cooktop and a clever, fully integrated, concealed fridge, maintaining a slick modern look.

A wood heater with clever wood storage will keep you cozy in the cooler months, when you will get beautiful snowfalls several times lasting a few days each time, transforming the property into a wonderland. There is also a reverse cycle air-conditioner to keep you comfortable all year round. Off to the side is the dining with its own views over the grounds through plantation shutters. There are 2 bedrooms at this level, both with BIRs and also fitted with plantation shutters framing the gorgeous views. The family bathroom comes with a lavish free-standing bath as well as the separate shower.

Up the stairs leads to a true 'Master Suite' featuring a huge bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in-robe plus a fully glazed balcony sunroom, providing the perfect place to sit back with a good book or a hot drink whilst taking in the ever changing views.

Outside, there is a large 2 car garage and workshop, complete with power and a concrete floor. Country living will be at ease with multiple water tanks and the grid-connected solar system. Self-Sustainability continues with the chicken coop, duck home, fruit trees and veggie garden. The house yard is fully fenced, ideal for the kids to run around in complete safety and an electronic deterrent fence system will help keep the four legged family members in too. A very practical glassed room at the entry is perfect for the family to leave the wet jackets and shoes before entering the home.

Franklin is around 10 minutes from the main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville and a further 30 minutes will get you into the Hobart CBD.
