A picturesque 1890 Cottage enjoying water views over Gardners Bay in the Huon Valley. An incredible amount of character and charm while still offering all the modern conveniences and comforts. Just moments from the Cygnet Township and a captivating drive from Hobart, this property
offers an enviable lifestyle.

Built by the Wilson Brothers, renowned wooden boat builders of Cygnet, and a testament to their craftsmanship, it offers four spacious bedrooms with pressed metal ceilings, two of which offer private access to the garden, making this not only perfect for the family, but also an ideal bed and breakfast.

The fourth bedroom/sunroom is very spacious and has a library space, Jotul slow combustion heater and opening onto the covered entertaining area that leads to a private rear garden. This space has been used as separate retreat for elderly parents.

The kitchen, dining and living areas are each spacious and light filled and provide beautiful views through the rolled glass windows, as well as access to the front return veranda.

An added bonus is the enormous timber barn that sits separately from the house and has been divided into individual studio spaces, with wood heating and water views. The possibilities are for studio space, entertaining or B and B.
Solar panels on this barn feed back to the main grid which softens your bills as well as your carbon footprint. Additional outbuildings include a large double garage and a roadside shed with access from both the street front and the garden.

The separately fenced pretty country gardens that surround the house are not only stunning but have also been managed in a way that will allow you to enjoy colour and fragrance through all seasons. The land beyond is an easily mown or grazed meadow like space with winter creek, fruit trees and chicken pen.

A recently installed fresh water bore is included with this package and is ideal for use as irrigation to the gardens. There are ample rainwater catchment and storage tanks in place.
