69 Smyley Street, Franklin TAS 7113

Located high in the hills up behind the quaint riverside town of Franklin, this 10 acre (4.275ha) property offers fantastic privacy. As you drive up the driveway, you pop out to a large cleared area with a loop drive that passes by the large shed and the recently renovated home. Up here, you are basking in sunshine, even when there is fog down in the valley during the winter months. There are fruit trees and veggie enclosures, shelters and garden sheds for a self-sufficient lifestyle.

Inside, the home offers an open plan living, dining and kitchen area with a snug wood fire creating a lovely atmosphere and warmth for the cooler months. A reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep you comfortable all year round. Recently renovated, this home has a gorgeous country kitchen with a huge island bench and brand new appliances. There are clever window seats to enjoy the sun whilst having a cuppa and room for a large lounge suite as well as a big family dining table. From the living area, you get a glimpse of the hills on the other side of the valley through the trees that surround the property.

At one end of the home, there is the master bedroom with a nice new ensuite bathroom. Down the other end there are 2 spare rooms with built-in robes and serviced by a central family bathroom. Out the back, there is a lovely covered entertaining area overlooking your own natural bush setting. From here, there is access to another useful room for whatever you might need extra space for. Set up your art studio, a craft room, or you may need a home office or 4th bedroom.

Outside, there is excellent infrastructure that incudes a garden shed, shelter, potting shed, hay and wood storage. The main shed is huge and consists of a garage and workshop section as well as a double carport area. The enclosures are ideal for the veggie beds and fruit trees and are wallaby proof fenced. An area at the back is perfect for some animals should you want, this has double electric wires and will even keep goats in. The land is mostly Silver Wattles with stands of tall gum trees. There is another semi cleared area up the back and the wattles could be reduced to create more usable areas. Water is collected from the large amount of roof area on offer into 4 large water tanks. Up at this elevation, there will be moments of snow, just enough to create a dusting of snow for a day.

This is a fantastic property to get away from it all and set yourself up for sustainable living, with the complete comfort of a nicely renovated home.
