Consisting of a vast 49 acres (20.01ha), this rural property has just had a beautiful country home constructed on it. This brand new home has all the latest modern comforts and yet packed with fantastic country charm. Fully enclosed within a huge fenced area, the kids and four legged family member will be able to run around in complete safety. There is a deck off the main open plan living ideal for entertaining, complete with a spa and easy access to the carport. Nearby is the shed/workshop, cleverly constructed in an old timber barn style, with another carport for the extra vehicle, camper or boat. Everything here has been well thought through and built with quality in mind. Across the paddock is Kemp's Creek, a little stream that runs past the full length of the side boundary.

The land is mostly level with some undulation. There is a huge amount of space here to spread out. A section of native forest breaks the expansive pastures and there is a small plantation plot right up the back corner. Up on the knoll in the middle, a machinery shed is ideal for the farm tractor and implements. A section at the creek is great for family picnics by the rivulet. Here there is a tyre swing for the kids and a home made flying fox for a bit of adventure fun. This really is the ideal rural escape.

Inside, you are welcomed into the huge open plan living through glass French doors, surrounded by big picture windows that allow the natural light to stream inside. The extra high ceilings and the gorgeous Tassie Oak timber floors create an instant appeal. Over in the corner is the well proportioned kitchen. Here there is a huge amount of space to get creative. The benches are all stone and include soft closing drawers and cupboards. A clever power tower pops up in the island bench with a touch of your finger. The dishwasher is smartly integrated and the cooker is in the style of an old range. Completing the country classic look is the double porcelain sink. Then there is a full walk-in pantry that runs the full length of the kitchen.

The lounge area can be as big or as snug as you want and there is still room left over for the biggest family dining table you can think of, ideal for entertaining the whole family and friends. In the other corner is the wood fire, creating both warmth and a lovely atmosphere in the cooler months. A timber fan is an art sculpture in itself and will circulate the air throughout this huge open plan area and the reverse cycle air-conditioner with keep you comfortable all year round. Big sliding barn-style doors have replaced regular doors. A clever nook is hidden, currently providing great space for the freezer.

The floor plan has also been well thought through. At one end is the parent's wing with a spacious bedroom, walk-in robe and lavish ensuite bathroom with dual porcelain sinks. At this end there is also a study nook, great as the home office. On the other side of the home, you will find the 3 spare bedrooms and another lavish bathroom complete with a deep soaking bath. Even the laundry down the end has been fitted out with quality and country charm in mind, including another porcelain sink and pressed tin splash-back.

The shed is so much more than just a garage or workshop. It is also lined and insulated for all year round comfort, and comes complete with a wood fire and bathroom facilities, making it great for visiting guests. An aggregate concrete path links this with the house for easy access. There is some nice landscaping, ready for you to plant out your garden. A large grassy area is ideal for the family to play in safety within the fully fenced house yard.

Located around 20 minutes from the main Hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville and within an hour to the Hobart CBD, you are never too far from services and entertainment and yet will feel remarkably removed from the pace of society. Just down the road is a renowned riverside camping ground where there is a coffee, pizza and fish and chip van during the summer months, as well as entertainment. Nearby is a swimming hole for the hot summer days and plenty of exploring to do in the wilderness. With nearly 50 acres to yourself, you may not want to go anywhere.
