This wonderfully secluded private oasis comprises of around 5.8 hectares (14.4 acres) of land made up of mostly native bushland with an ideal 1 hectare (2.5 acres) cleared for the spacious and intriguing house and gardens. Facing north there is good all year sun, which the huge netted veggie and fruit tree enclosure thrives on. Designed to be self-sufficient and environmentally sound, the property utilises an intuitive read bed system with settling ponds for the wastewater and is then re-used for the gardens and toilets. Just add some chickens and solar panels and you will be set.

As you drive up to the house, the sense of privacy is instantly evident. The clever driveway set-up loops right around and includes a huge parking area between the house and the very practical shed. Comprising of 2 lockable areas and 5 other open bays, there is plenty of space here for the cars, the boat and the workshop. Complete with 3-phase power, you will be able to take on any project you have wanted to do.

The 175m2 house is versatile with a floor plan that will allow for different potential living possibilities. Currently there are 3 huge bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes and a central bathroom next to a walk-in storage and linen cupboard. The timber kitchen and dining area is functional with a great full walk-in pantry. From the dining there is a practical study room too. Across the beautiful atrium or breezeway entry, is the main living room complete with fabulous garden and bushland views, flooded with sunshine and with direct access through the floor to the under-house cellar/workshop. Just to add a bit more versatility, there is an ensuite tucked in the corner of the main living area, ideal as a practical toilet, otherwise providing great potential to include a 4th bedroom without losing too much of the huge living space on offer as is now. A central wood fire provides year round comfort and also heats the hot water when operating.

The 45m2 cellar and workshop under is also accessed from outside and provides great extra storage space. Off the atrium, the sun deck provides a wonderful vantage point to enjoy the property and the view across the treetops to the hills across the valley. From here the steps lead down to the amazing netted enclosure. Here, there organically managed produce will keep you and your friends well fed. Extra to the enclosure hazelnuts, a walnut and olive trees are well established. A spectacular display of colour comes from the large planting of Rhododendrons and Magnolias.

The area enjoys a good rainfall of around 800ml per annum and with the house and shed rooves collecting the rainwater, the tanks are quick to fill. There are 2 Davie pressure pumps, one for the fresh water to the house and the other for recycled water feeding the toilets and the garden. The wildlife is plentiful. Besides the wallabies, there are bandicoots, spotted quolls and the resident echidna. Devils are around, but hard to spot. The birdlife list now exceeds 40 with the blue wrens and scarlet robins the most common.
This property provides a great economical lifestyle with free firewood, a good supply of fruit and vegetables, water recycling and low rates to add to the appeal. Wonderfully private and an impressive interesting home to top it all off. All this is positioned within a very picturesque valley in a peaceful area with good year round sun and only a 30-minute drive to Hobart.
