486 Sandfly Road, Sandfly TAS 7150

Well this is something a little bit special. Located halfway between Sandfly and Margate, this 4.4 acre (1.81ha) property has a little bit of everything and will provide you with self-sufficient living. There is Allens Rivulet running down the left boundary, which then flows into the North West Bay River that forms the bottom boundary. Here you have a swimming hole with a permanent flow of fresh water running past and an electric pump that pumps water back to the house gardens with the flick of a switch from the house. 'Riparian Title' rights allows you to irrigate from the rivulet to your heart's content to ensure everything remains lush and green whenever you choose. Now that is something special.

As you arrive, a loop gravel driveway makes entering and leaving the property a breeze. There is a double garage that provides covered access directly into the home. To the side, there is a spacious covered entertaining area to host your family and friends in style. Overlooking the backyard, there is a ramp for easy access into the fully secured backyard. Ideal for the kids and pets to run around in complete safety, this area also has veggies and a fruit tree orchard as well as a garden that provides a wonderful array of colour.

Beyond the backyard are other enclosures for more home-grown produce and the main animal paddock. Either side of this pasture, there are 2 more fenced paddocks with shelters for the for legged companions. Past the last gate takes you on a mini adventure along a well formed track through your own native bush, down to the swimming hole where the 2 rivulets meet.

Back at the house, this home has a lovely country feel to it, yet the renovations have brought about some modern day comforts. As you enter, you know this home is all about practical living. The kitchen is the centre piece of the home, with access through the sunroom straight out to the entertaining on one side, and through to the dinning and lounge room the other side. The island bench provides fantastic extra preparation space. The pantry is storage is generous and there are large soft close draws along with quality appliances. Large windows provide a view straight out to the garden and benefit from the north west sunshine.

The dining also benefits from a garden view and the sunshine, and flows seamlessly through to the main lounge. There is a choice of a wood fire, cleverly centralised for both ambience and warmth in the cooler months and a reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep you comfortable all year round. A second family area is ideal to escape with a good book and cup of tea, or could be a 5th bedroom, kids activity room or home office. All 4 bedrooms come with built-in-robes and the master bedroom opens out to its own covered deck.

Under the house is a rumpus or games room and storage area just perfect for storing all those extra things you want out of sight. Access to this area is from the backyard under the main bedroom. There are so many areas within and around this home that the whole family will have somewhere to spread out to.

Positioned within an area with similar small acre lifestyle properties, you will be amongst like-minded neighbours. Margate is 10 minutes down the road with Kingston another 5 minutes past that. Hobart is within 25 minutes making it an enjoyable commute for work, yet with the ability to retreat to your own country oasis at the end of each day.
