67 Jacksons Road, Franklin TAS 7113

It is the amazing views that make this property so special. From its lofty vantage point the quaint cottage overlooks 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, or move into the cottage itself.

The property consists of 5 acres (2.039ha). As you drop down onto the property off Jacksons Rd, there is a terraced section with the uninterrupted view over the huge dam in the middle. Down the bottom third, there is a section of wattle, where there is plenty of space to run some animals should that be of interest. Services are all behind you, including power and town water supply.

Inside the cottage, there is no wasted space, which means even though the floor plan seems small, it feels surprisingly bigger than expected on entry. 1968 vintage features remain, such as a brick fireplace and timber floors throughout. Heated by a built-in wood fire, you will be snug all year round. 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 options are many here. Renovate the cottage into a lovely home, build a new home, or convert the cottage into accommodation and build a second dwelling (stca). But whatever you decide to do, outside is where the real beauty is here, with vistas for miles! There is a trail that leads down to the dam and bottom light bush area. this one is certainly very unique.

Just on the outskirts of the historic town of Franklin, which has a fantastic community, local markets and events and multiple places to eat as well as second hand/vintage shops and a cidery. known for its Wooden Boat School and the popular Living Boat Trust, there is a lot of on water activities for the wooden boat lover. Franklin is around 5 minutes from the regional centre of Huonville and 45 minutes from Hobart.
