They don't come much more idyllic than this one. Consisting of 56 acres (22.83ha), this gorgeous sought after property has it all. This 1910 character home sits proudly perched on the hill enjoying one of the best views in Southern Tasmania. From here it enjoys spectacular views straight down the valley to the river and mountains beyond including, Adam’s Peak, Hartz Mountains and the top of the Snowy Ranges. All beautifully defined with the mesmerizing sunsets, beautiful skies and snow-capped in the winter. Well-known and admired, this house has been beautifully restored introducing modern day comforts without losing the period charm. Surrounded by lovely easy-care gardens, the home is set back up off the road, right in the middle of 25 acres of lush rolling pastures. The remaining 30 acres consists of scattered tall gums creating a park-like feel. A winter creek gully is filled with lovely ferns and flows right through the property. Beyond that, there is a large area of native forest to explore. Within the forest, there are old access tracks allowing you to wander through and discover old secluded clearings. Create camping spots within your own wilderness.
As you enter this gorgeous home, you will feel instantly welcomed. The main living is open plan off the kitchen and dining. The kitchen has polished concrete benchtops, including a large island, new Smeg oven (gas cooktop/electric oven), and a separate walk-in pantry provides opportunity to keep any mess out of sight. The evidence of past walls has given the space a wonderfully interesting, artistic feel from the exposed timber beams and changing ceilings, as well as a great insight into the history. Large picture windows take full advantage of the views, framing the ever-changing scenery from season to season and even the time of day. The sunsets from here are simply to die for, creating a silhouette of the mountains in the wilderness. These are covered in snow in the winter time adding another level to the already beautiful view. There is so much country charm, from the Tas Oak floor boards throughout that change with the different eras, adding great character. The 3.1m high ceilings and the dado walls complete the country look.
French doors lead out to a deck, an ideal spot to sit back with a good book or a glass of wine as you watch the sun setting. Then move back inside and light the wood fire, which is a much sought after 'Jotul'. Apart from providing a lovely warmth throughout, it also provides a snug atmosphere. Down the hall there are 3 good sized bedrooms and the main bathroom. The bathroom offers a separate shower and a gorgeous freestanding bath with a large picture window overlooking the pastures and forest backdrop. Up the stairs leads to a 'Chill-out' space up in the loft. At one end the open space takes advantage of the views down the valley and at the other a clever little window allows plenty of natural light in. Off to the side, an extra space is ideal as a study nook or reading room and completes what is a very intriguing loft space. Alternatively the flexibility and options are abound and for you to decide.
Outside, there is so much to like and very little to do. The gardens are just right, there is an array of colour around the gravel pathways. A pond completing a picture comes with a local platypus. Overlooking this is the fire pit entertaining area, perfectly positioned to take in the amazing sunsets that match the roaring fire. A classic old barn has been transformed into a garage, shed and workshop. A second timber shelter fits 2 more vehicles. Pop the tractor here alongside the farm ute.
The pastures are both beautiful rolling green hills for 3/4 of the year. Grow hay, keep cattle or sheep, there is plenty of room to spread out and rotate your paddocks here or alternatively enjoy the home and country lifestyle and agist out the land. Three rain water tanks connected to the house provide ample water for the home. Multiple reliable dams and natural springs throughout the property, ensure there is no shortage of water throughout the year.
This is a rare opportunity to have land and a renovated period house all within a 40 minute picturesque drive to Hobart and a 30 minute drive to Kingston. Centrally located between Cygnet and Woodbridge, which are both under 10 minutes away, makes this location very desirable. Woodbridge is a beautiful village along the Detrecasteaux Channel. Cygnet is the cultural and artistic centre of the Huon Valley, where you will find a variety of shops, cafes & services. The main hub of the Huon Valley, Huonville, is a short 25 minutes away.
There is a lot to love about this property. Please contact us for further information or to arrange a private meeting on site.
