Set in the peaceful countryside of Glen Huon, this grand early 1900s Federation home full of history and heart awaits its next chapter. Set on approximately 30 acres across 2 titles of pasture and bushland, the property offers the idyllic rural lifestyle that the Huon Valley is popular for. With endless potential as a hobby farm, multi-generational living arrangement or the option to boundary realign the house on a smaller title and sell off the remaining land (STCA). Preliminary plans are available for both a boundary realignment, and plans for a holiday accommodation studio.
As you enter through the gated driveway, you'll pass by established park-like gardens that lead you up to the original sandstone steps making for a grand entrance onto the wide wraparound verandah running along the north-east side of the home. This charming space is adorned with beautifully ornate iron fretwork, giving the house its signature Federation charm.
The original timber front door leading into the entrance hall is where the grandeur of this historic home begins. The classic lead lighting surrounds make a stunning first impression, while high ceilings and timber floorboards set the tone throughout. Off the central entrance hall are three large bedrooms, all with original fireplaces, and each one enjoying a unique garden or rural outlook through large sash windows. The formal living room is a warm and inviting space. Here, a wood heater has been set neatly into the original brick fireplace, creating an excellent spot to gather on a cold winter’s evening.
Towards the rear of the home, the atmosphere opens up into a light-filled dining, living, and kitchen space. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, with solid timber benchtops, and plenty of cupboard storage. The 900mm Belling stove offers modern convenience, while the classic slow combustion stove provides a nostalgic touch and a beautiful way to cook and keep the area cozy in winter. A generous sized family bathroom completes the main home, featuring a freestanding clawfoot tub and separate shower. Up the stairs, a lined attic provides a valuable bonus space. Whether you use it for storage or a creative studio, it’s a flexible area that adds to the home’s functionality.
Moving outside, the established gardens are tranquil and beautifully maintained, providing ever-changing colour and interest throughout the seasons. Lush green lawn, mature trees, and blooming garden beds make it feel like a botanical retreat. Close to the home, a thriving vegetable garden provides fresh produce throughout the seasons, and scattered fruit trees will be an absolute delight in summer. Salmonds Creek is a spring fed water source that meanders partway along the eastern boundary and offers the ability to keep the dam topped up and services multiple taps around the property via a pipeline, keeping it simple to maintain gardens and stock alike. There is also a dam on its own separate title which could be kept with the farm, used to build a small holiday accommodation (STCA) or included in the subdivision potential (STCA).
As you head further into the acreage, the possibilities really begin to open up. With existing fencing and paddocks in place, the property is well suited to those thinking of a hobby farm, whether that's imagining sheep, goats, or even a couple of ponies. To store equipment and machinery, a 6x12 shed offers an area to store goods out from the elements. There's vehicle access from Lanes Road to the very top of the property, where the elevation offers sweeping views down over the valley. This area makes a perfect weekend escape spot, ideal for camping, bushwalking, or simply sitting back and watching the native wildlife. Pademelons, quolls, wombats, and echidnas all call this area home and are often sighted in the area.
Glen Huon itself is a welcoming and peaceful community located only 10 minutes up the Huon River from Huonville, where essentials are offered including supermarkets, hardware stores, medical services, cafes, and schools. If you do need to commute to Hobart, that is just under a 40 minute drive away (approx.).
