470 Summerleas Road, Kingston TAS 7050

In less than 15 minutes, you can go from the hustle and bustle of the Hobart CBD to the picture-perfect, park-like surrounds of this spectacular 2.3-acre property. Nestled on the banks of Browns River with your very own trout stream and 300m of river frontage, this is a true slice of paradise that must be seen to be believed.

A long driveway builds anticipation as you approach this much-loved and beautifully presented home that feels at one with this pristine setting. A large entry foyer welcomes you into the main level which has been split into two wings, connected by a cosy snug.

At one end, you will find an open-plan living and entertaining area with a wood heater and direct access to the combined kitchen and dining zone. Tasmanian oak floorboards flow underfoot while an abundance of windows frame leafy garden views from every room.

Quality appliances and sweeping benchtops will make cooking a pleasure before moving outside to the multiple entertaining areas including a custom gazebo set on the riverbank.

A bathroom is also housed in this section of the home while at the opposite end of the main floor you will find the laundry and the master suite. This owner's retreat opens directly to the outdoors and also boasts a built-in robe and an ensuite. Two bedrooms are perched on the upper level along with a large family room/library with a deck and an attached study/bedroom.

The list of extra features includes town water, a heat pump, air-conditioning, parking for 6+ cars and a secure shed with ample shelving. The vibrant gardens have been professionally maintained and boast rhododendrons, camellias, hydrangeas, conifers, tree ferns and much more.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this stunning property is rich in wildlife including wallaby, possum, bandicoot, quoll, Tasmanian native chickens and a breeding pair of platypus just 50m from the house. The acreage includes your own private Mossy Rain Forest walk, just a short stroll from your new home, and you're only 5km from Kingston and the Mt Wellington Park Nature Reserve.
