5751 Huon Highway, Surges Bay TAS 7116

Perched up on the ridge overlooking the beautiful Huon River Estuary, this solid home provides the benefits of practical living as well as a flexible floor plan to suit your needs. There are many features to love about this one. There is a spectacular deck platform that hangs over the stone cliff providing the most amazing spot to sit back and take in the views and another deck off of the living/kitchen is ideally suited for family and friend gatherings.

Another major feature here is the access down to the river. There is a walk track straight down from near the hanging deck and a vehicular track around the side of the shed/workshop down to the water's edge. Pop in your kayak for a paddle or a dinghy for a spot of fishing. The owners say you can catch flathead straight off the shore too.

Set on around three quarters of an acre, this property also offers the benefits of 2 separate titles. There is a large section to native coastal vegetation including tall gums and ferns as well as a grassy area along gorgeous sandstone cliffs. Down here there is also a small storage shed and a small dam which provides water for the gardens.

Up on the cliff top, the house and workshop enjoy a large level plateaux with direct level access from the main road. The shed/workshop is practical to lock away the tools and a super sized double carport provides covered access from your cars to the house. The grounds around the house are easy care. There are lawn areas and scattered plants to create a lovely ever changing garden setting.

Inside, the rear entry is a large useful space for your shoes and jackets. This leads to the open plan kitchen dining area past a spare bedroom or ideal study or craft room. The kitchen is bright and airy with a cosy wood fire in the corner. A great spot to sit back with a book and cup of tea. From here there is a great spot for the dining table, taking advantage of the views out over the water and round to the slightly sunken, spacious lounge room. An air-conditioner here will keep you comfortable in the summer months. Down the hallway, there is a central family bathroom with 3 more bedrooms.

Positioned between the farmers market town of Geeveston and the beach holiday atmosphere of Dover, this is a great location offering great diversity. The main hub of the Huon Valley is at Huonville which is around 35 minutes away and within an hour of Hobart. Please contact us for further information or to arrange a private viewing.
