What a spot! This very rare property not only sits within a very popular and peaceful stretch of the beautiful Huon Valley, but also enjoys an amazing position along the waterfront reserve with direct access to the water's edge. All topped off with a north aspect looking straight up the majestic Huon River with rolling hills on the other side and the Wellington Range in the background. The home offers energy efficient, passive solar living with nothing in front than your own 4 acres (1.799ha) of prime park-like grounds. A huge amount of shed space, veggie enclosures, fruit trees and a massive natural fresh water supply.
Cygnet Coast Rd is a quaint and highly picturesque country road that winds along the shoreline of the river, taking in the beauty of the area at water level. As you arrive at the property, quality Italian solar powered electric gates invite you in. As you drive around the practical loop driveway, the amazing position and views instantly become apparent. The property consists of manicured lawns with lovely native low-maintenance gardens creating a park-like feel. The grounds are fully fenced with wallaby proofing and meld seamlessly with the native bush of the waterfront reserve. Access to the water on foot is through a gate directly in front and vehicle access is via a side gate that allows you to drive down with your boat or kayaks.
The home has received extensive renovations ranging from 2016 to 2018. Fully double glazed and well insulated is only the start of the energy efficiency. Facing north, it takes advantage of a passive solar design, trapping the sunshine, naturally heating the living areas during the winter months. There is an array of solar panels providing 6.66kW to the 9.6kW battery storage system. Installed in 2022, this system all but eliminates power bills. Large stacking sliding doors bring the outside inside, connecting the split level ModWood decks to the vast open plan living dining and kitchen. From here the panoramic views are incredible. The river is forever captivating emotion, providing a different scenery with the changing seasons. Huge picture windows frame the vista perfectly. Throughout this area, clever remote blinds come up or down with the press of a button.
This is an entertainer's paradise. No matter what the conditions, there is a spot to sit back in comfort to share with your guests. At one end, there is a super practical room with heated polished concrete floors. This space accommodates a large table to gather around with friends. This room also houses a quality built-in pizza oven with a practical sink complete with hot water and access to the back deck is an ideal spot for the BBQ. At the other end, the kitchen is well thought through. The faux stone island bench provides great space for food preparation, the appliances are all high quality including the smart cook top that has an integrated ducted extraction fan system doing away with the need for a range hood. In front of this is a lovely snug area, ideal to sit back with a cuppa and a good book. There is a wonderful bright and airy feel to this space.
Completing the open plan space is the formal lounge which then leads to the hallway that takes you down to the bedrooms. The master is complete with an ensuite accessed through a walk-in-robe. The guest bedrooms are serviced by a lavish central bathroom complete with a deep soaking bath. Both bathrooms benefit from heated towel rails. At the end of the hallway you arrive at another useful space. This makes a great area for an art studio, the kids activities or maybe a home office. Currently it is a craft room. This is very practical extra space away from the main living areas. Past this is the laundry with an integrated Robin Hood ironing station and mud room with direct access to the outside via an enclosed porch.
Outside, the massive shed provides plenty of space as a 3 bay garage, one with a remote roller door. Plus a huge workshop and great storage. Behind the shed is where the poly tunnel and netted enclosure houses the veggie garden. A lovely feature is the beautiful dam that sits proud in the middle of the property, providing an enormous amount of fresh water all year round. The roof areas collect plenty of rainwater to tanks totalling 27,000L which are used to irrigate the veggies and lead back into the house. Under the sink, there is a 4 stage Stiebel filtration system.
This is a very impressive property that delivers on quality of life and easy living along with energy efficiency, all within rare position. Just over the hill from is the bustling cultural centre of Cygnet, where you will find all your basic shops services including an IGA supermarket. The main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville is only 15 minutes away. Here you will find almost everything you might need. Hobart is a picturesque 45 minute drive.
