480 Minna Road, Stowport TAS 7321

This large 4 bedroom mud-brick home is unique both inside and out. Situated on 20 acres of flood and drought proof pasture, the location offers privacy with a rural outlook, yet is only 10 minutes from the Burnie CBD and also easily commutable to the central coast area. The property has access to two main roads, is on school bus routes and is close to Pony Club facilities and the Wivenhoe lifestyle shopping precinct.

The mud brick construction is complemented by stained-glass windows and stone feature walls. The main cathedral-ceilinged bedroom has an en-suite and walk-in robe as well as access to the front garden. The remaining three bedrooms are located at the other end of the house, close to the main bathroom and a play/study area.

The living areas are open and spacious, with a central and generously sized kitchen featuring unique and extremely solid natural edged Macrocarpa benchtops. It is complemented by a large pantry, freestanding cooker, two-drawer dishwasher and an inset stone food preparation surface.

A wood-heater in the lounge provides winter warmth and includes a duct to heat the main bedroom as well. A sizeable plantation of timber on the property provides very low-cost fuel for heating. A double garage is attached to the house and a separate 4-bay (12x7.5) colorbond shed with light and power is perfect for the handyman.

The enormous outdoor undercover area (5.4x25m) at the rear of the home makes for a wonderful entertaining area and play area for children, as well as additional undercover parking space. The veranda at the front of the house is an ideal location to sit and enjoy the amazing sunsets over the valley.

Water quality and supply is no concern. There are 3 spring-fed dams on the property and the house is supplied direct from a high quality bore. The land is divided into usable paddocks, with two stock shelters and a small stable with attached yard. A chook run, veggie patch and established fruit trees help create the perfect start to a simpler life.
