717 Windermere Road, Swan Bay TAS 7252

This wonderful acreage at Swan Bay in Northern Tasmania is full of surprises. 6.771 hectares (or 16.73 acres approx.) provide a country lifestyle close to the city of Launceston. The north-facing steel framed 2 storey Cape Cod style home was built in 1996 to capture the views while maintaining privacy. The building is in extremely good condition and has been meticulously maintained. Sunny rooms and clever design provide the scope for family living; kitchen, dining, lounge, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and laundry (with chute from upstairs) on the ground floor with 2 bedrooms and a large bathroom upstairs. There is also huge storage upstairs with cupboards providing access to the floored roof cavity. The wood heater features a wetback which provides free hot water from March to November (subject to use). Provision has also been made for solar heating on the roof. The land consists of a very attractive garden - fenced for wildlife, extensive shedding including a 10m x 12m workshop which contains work benches, vice, mezzanine floor and a gantry. There is a small shearing shed attached to the shed, including stock handling yards, with further shedding for machinery storage. The pasture is in excellent condition and is well fenced into 4 large paddocks. There is a small dam which is fed by a winter creek running through the property. 2 covered vegetable plots (1 with 4 raised beds) and a fully fenced orchard which include plantings of thorn-less blackberries, cherries, red currants, apples, pears, plums, purple gage/apricots, walnuts, hazelnuts and nectarines. All roof water is utilised with tanks and drainage systems plumbed to the gardens. Additional features include a bitumen driveway, security system for the house and shed connected to a phone line. The East Tamar Highway enables a 15 minute trip to Launceston and takes the busy traffic away from Dilston Road. Access through Windermere, Los Angelos Road or Swan Bay.
