910 Acton Road, Acton Park TAS 7170

Set on 2.029 ha, this superb 4 bedroom home is situated on a gently sloping block, maximising tranquil views over the countryside to Pittwater and the hills beyond. With mindful excavations, the owners created a plateau on which to build their long, low, north-facing home that captures all day sun and enables level access. Passing a large garage/workshop on the left, the driveway gives way to an extensive manicured gravel area from which there is access to both the house and the incorporated double garage. The remaining three sides of the building look onto sweeping lawns and garden. Pittosporum hedges on either side of the building create boundaries for the home garden, whilst a lavender hedge undulates across the front of the man-made plateau dividing the garden from the grazing land below.

The home itself, has been architecturally designed and incorporates a striking sandstone wall in the entry foyer, each block originating from the owners' previous property near Bothwell. A picture window at the far end of the entry hall frames the enticing view to Pittwater. Both the formal sitting/dining room and the more casual sitting/dining/kitchen area look onto the garden and the view beyond through floor to ceiling windows, and wide sliding doors give access to the paved terrace: an ideal space for both entertaining and outdoor living. A spacious master bedroom and en suite experience the wonderful views, while three generous bedrooms and family bathroom complete the accommodation wing of the home.

Being only 10 minutes from Hobart Airport and 20 minutes from the CBD, this property offers the best of both worlds: proximity to local and interstate cities, as well as the relaxing atmosphere of this idyllic country setting. With room for a swimming pool, a tennis court, or even a pony, this property has wide appeal as a family home or as a beautiful rural retreat.
