65 Triffets Lane, Castle Forbes Bay TAS 7116

Perched up high on the ridge on the edge of the beautiful Castle Forbes Bay Valley, this period home enjoys the complete privacy of the end of road location on 4 acres (1.65ha) of light bush. The country lane winds up the valley past farms, apple & cherry orchards and ends at this amazing spot on the hill. The views from up here really are just amazing, taking in the orchards and paddocks in the valley and the Huon River.

The home has a gorgeous covered deck verandah at the front that takes full advantage of the position and views on offer. This is the most peaceful and serene setting you are likely to find anywhere. Inside, the lounge room is cosy with huge picture windows that frame the views. Here a wood fire keeps the house warm and snug in the cooler months. Behind the lounge is the dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is simple, but functional. In fact the whole home is in need of some upgrading, but very comfortable as it is. There are 3 bedrooms with a shared bathroom and a second shower near the backdoor.

Attached to the house is a large carport shelter, large enough for storing items out of the weather as well as room for the car and your boat. On the other side, there is another carport and a studio. The studio is ideal for visiting family or friends and would make great space for the artist or a workshop. Off the verandah, a sunroom is an excellent heat trap for the afternoon sun. The property takes advantage of a northerly aspect, enjoying an all year round sunny position.

Castle Forbes Bay is located between Franklin around 5 minutes each way and Geeveston, both are quaint villages with an array of different eateries on offer. Port Huon is also nearby with the Kermandie Hotel and marina opposite. Here there is also an indoor sports centre with indoor heated pool facility. The main hub of the Huon Valley is at Huonville, around 15 minutes away and Hobart is a picturesque 45 minute drive over the mountain.
