Located within a very peaceful area, this beautiful heritage homestead has all the hallmarks of a classic Federation Huon Valley home. Combining grand period character from 1910 with the addition of modern day living comforts, such as ducted air-conditioning throughout, this is a very beautiful home. Set within its own gorgeous garden setting and surrounded by the neighbouring farmland, you will feel like you own a fabulous farm without the need to maintain it all.
Consisting of an ideal 2.5 acres (9627m2), the park-like grounds are simply divine. There is a lovely pond in the middle, setting the scene, with an array of mature established ornamental plants and trees that will forever change with the seasons, providing spectacular colour throughout the year. Thoughtfully landscaped, there are stone steps that lead you to a decorative paved area and covered entertaining off the dining kitchen area. Then there is the deck, smartly located to capture the views over the pastures down to the Huon River and the mountains beyond, but also overlooking the garden and accessed directly from 2 of the 3 bedrooms.
There are great out buildings too. The original old barn shed is great for general storage, a wood store and an enclosed carport for the motorhome, caravan or maybe the boat. Closer to the home is another double carport as well as a garage. Attached to this is a very practical studio, and with council approvals could be excellent extra separate accommodation for visiting guests and family.
Stepping inside the home, you are faced with the grand hallway that links the front door right the way through to the back door. The kitchen and dining are open plan with beautiful natural light that floods in through large picture windows overlooking the garden. Down the hallway, the lounge is more formal with a slow combustion wood fire and a super ornate mantle at one end of the room and bay windows overlooking the river sister at the other. This is a snug room you will love retiring to at the end of the day whilst enjoying the warmth and atmosphere from the fire.
Back down the hall, the main bedroom comes with a walk-in robe and own ensuite bathroom, whilst across the hall, the 2 spare bedrooms share a central bathroom complete with a claw-foot bathtub. Opening out onto the deck and gardens is a lovely feature. The period features throughout the home include timber floors, high ceilings, ornate cornices and rosettes, this is a very beautiful old home. The modernised features add complete comfort, including air-conditioning that is ducted through the original floor vents throughout the home. You will love the kitchen upgrade too. Spacious and bright, this is a welcome change from the original cooking facilities of the era.
The property is located just over the hills from the popular country town of Cygnet. An artisanal centre with great eateries, intriguing shops and all the basic small country town services such as IGA supermarket, doctors and pharmacy. Down the road, around 15 minutes by car is the main hub of the Huon Valley, Huonville, where there is a Woollies and all your larger town shops and services. The Hobart CBD is 45 minutes over the mountain. But it is the drive along Cygnet Coast Road just a the bottom of the street that will captivate you. This is a very quiet road that lines the shores of the Huon River creating a very picturesque setting.
