“"Oak Cottage" Idyllic lifestyle property 25 minutes to Launceston”
SOLD
This charming 1900's character cottage sits on approx three very fertile and productive acres, surrounded by private, well established gardens and century old oak trees. The land is divided into three paddocks, fenced orchard and raised vegetable/herb gardens and has a picturesque tree-lined permanent creek running through it.
The three bedroom cottage has been renovated in keeping with the period to allow for open plan living while retaining many original features, which combined with the timber and brick interior give it an old worldly charm. This is reflected in the kitchen and country style bathroom which has a separate bath and shower. The toilet is separate from the bathroom. The home is warm and cosy, having the advantages of both wood and Daikin reverse cycle heating.
There are many original and restored outbuildings which cater for a multitude of uses including garaging, workshop, stable, hayshed, chook house and a fully lined studio/office.
The property is connected to town water and also has a rainwater tank. Solar panels which feed back into the grid, along with a new hot water system that heats from either mains electricity or the combustion stove, contribute to lower energy bills.
Situated at the base of majestic Mr Arthur and in walking distance to the village of Lilydale, which offers a small town community and most services (including doctor, chemist, P.O. supermarket, hardware, rural supplies, petrol, swimming pool and school to Year 10) This property is a 25 minute drive to Launceston, 30 minutes to the lovely sandy beaches of Weymouth and Bellingham and en route to some of Tassie's best vineyards.
This property is a magical combination for those looking for vintage features, contemporary comfort and a self sufficient lifestyle in an idyllic scenic setting.
