All the hard work and planning has been done for you. If you are looking for a self-sufficient home and lifestyle with permaculture gardens and abundant water plus the bonus of tranquil water views, this property is the one for you.
The home, with 3 downstairs bedrooms and 2 loft rooms, was built in 2005 with additions in 2010. Also on offer within the flexible floor plan are 2 living areas, large, airy and sunny dining and kitchen area and large study area, all designed to make the most of the beautiful views. The bathroom includes a separate shower and a Japanese plunge bath. There is a separate laundry and a separate, composting toilet.
Solid Tas Oak flooring adds a warm ambiance to all rooms. The home is double glazed, well insulated with double batts in external walls, and built to a construction and insulation design set for a European winter. It has two wood heaters along with electric panel heating in downstairs bedrooms.
A substantial workshop under the home has concrete floors and plenty of shelving, room for many projects and it is double glazed. Adjacent to the workshop are concreted dog kennels, also under the home, offering a very clever design and placement.
The property provides all your growing needs with three netted orchards including many heritage fruit trees (apple, plum, cherry, pear, apricot), a variety of berries and currants (blueberries, raspberries, boysenberries, red and black currants, jostaberries). There are chook pens connected to each orchard, offering you the ability to rotate in different seasons. There is also a paddock near each orchard where you can elect to run small animals through the winter to maintain and fertilise the orchards. A netted kitchen garden along with greenhouse and fenced veggie patch provide all your veggie and herb growing needs.
You will be wondering if you need a market stall or large family to supply with the volume of organic home grown food you will produce each season.
All these areas are connected to irrigation systems. Water is abundant with a bore, dam for irrigation and rain water storage to feed the main home. Outbuildings include workshop, storage, tractor and machinery sheds and chook houses. A 1kw solar system feeds into the house and the grid, offering the potential to go fully off grid with a little more diversification.
This fantastic package must be one of the best set up permaculture properties in Tasmania and is on offer within a short drive of the vibrant and bustling Cygnet township where there are local schools, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants along with a wonderful local market held monthly where you will bump into many other like-minded self-sufficient property owners. Also close to wonderful
beaches, excellent fishing and boating, you are only around 50 minutes from Hobart.
