67 Jacksons Road, Franklin TAS 7113

It is the amazing views that will captivate you as soon as you arrive at this property. From its lofty vantage point the quaint cottage looks straight down the Huon River as it widens into an estuary. The breathtaking outlook is one that will forever impress and although the 2 bedroom cottage is humble, the potential of the property is immense. Build a new home (stca) and use the cottage as accommodation, extend the cottage, or move in as it is, and enjoy a simple life.

Consisting of 5 acres (2.039ha), as you drop down onto the property off Jacksons Rd, there is a terraced section with a view over a huge dam which provides an excessive amount of water supply, right in the middle of the property. Down the bottom third, there is a section of native Tassie Wattles, creating an array of yellow in late winter. Services along Jacksons Rd include power and town water supply.

Inside the cottage, there is no wasted space, despite the floor plan seems compact, it feels surprisingly more spacious than expected. 1968 vintage features are preserved, such as the brick fireplace and timber floors throughout. Heated by a built-in wood fire, you will be nice and snug during the cooler months. The main living space is practical with the kitchen at one end and the lounge area at the other. The 2 bedrooms get awesome views. The bathroom has a shower over the bath with a nice new toilet. From the porch, there is separate access to the laundry and a second toilet.

The options are many here. Renovate the cottage into a lovely home, (it already has a nice new roof), build a new home, or convert the cottage into accommodation and build a second dwelling (all subject to council approvals of course). But whatever you decide to do, the real beauty of the vistas on offer are priceless! There is a trail that leads along the ridge-line around the dam to the bottom of the property, providing excellent access over the property.

Positioned just on the outskirts of the historic town of Franklin, which enjoys a long stretch of the river. Known for its Wooden Boat School and the popular Living Boat Trust, there is a lot of on water activities including rowing, kayaking and boating. There is a wonderful community spirit here with an array of eateries and small shops. Franklin is around 5 minutes from the regional hub at Huonville and 45 minutes from the Hobart CBD.
