Welcome to Rocklyn.

Positioned on 5 acres of idyllic farmland this grand 5-bedroom, 2 storey family home has unrivalled mountain and rural views in all directions yet is only a pleasant 7 minutes' drive to Derby. Filled with an abundance of charm and character the original federation-style homestead was constructed circa 1920s with an expansive and remarkably complementary extension added in 1992. Despite the grandeur and sophistication of this huge homestead, it has a warm, inviting atmosphere. The ultimate blend of comfort and country lifestyle, it presents itself as the perfect opportunity for a growing or extended family or for hosting guests.

The formal entry welcomes you into a grand hallway that extends to nearly the full length of the home, revealing the extensive, elegant layout. The hallway leads you up to the foot of a blackwood staircase lovingly crafted from farm timbers. This gorgeous timber is featured in the kitchen cabinetry and breakfast bar.

Continuing through the downstairs living spaces you will discover a formal living room adjoining an enormous open plan kitchen/dining and family room. Bathed in natural light through delightful bay windows is the perfect spot for your morning coffee, watching the sun rise over the sublime panoramic views to Tomahawk and the coast.

The master bedroom features an original bay window, ensuite with shower and walk-in-robe. On this floor level there are 2 additional and generously sized bedrooms, both with stunning views. A huge private home office (or optional 6th bedroom) has timber shelving and plenty of natural light.

The vast main bathroom has striking cedar timber features, a spacious walk-in shower and separate corner bath. Other amenities in the home include a large walk in pantry adjoining the kitchen, a spacious laundry with separate toilet, mudroom and a screened porch/sunroom with beautiful views of the rural landscape across to Mt Horror.

Upstairs is a perfect teenager or grandparents retreat with an abundance of living and storage spaces, including study nook, a kitchenette and an additional 2 bedrooms (one with dormer windows and its own living/rumpus room, a storage room and a walk-in wardrobe). There is also a 2nd bathroom with shower and toilet with access to extra storage.

The home is complemented by immaculately landscaped cottage gardens and shrubs. The property is well fenced with areas suitable for pets and family activities.

Heating is via a wood heater as well as a reverse-cycle heat pump in the main living area and 2nd heat pump near the formal entrance. Water is supplied by a rainwater tank as well as TasWater domestic supply. A 5.2kw solar system will help save on power bills.
