Amaroo Farm sits quaintly on 6 acres of open paddocks, mature Provencal-style gardens and native gum trees, this substantial residence comprises 5 generous bedrooms with an additional fully self-contained 2-bedroom barn.
Currently a much-loved family home, the style and quality of this property also lends itself to commercial operation perhaps as an upmarket Airbnb or wedding venue. Regularly featured in Country Living and on the cover of Australian Home Beautiful magazine, this exquisitely crafted farmhouse has recently been upgraded with no expense spared combining the character of vintage features with modern day conveniences of open-plan living.
With a reclaimed brick double frontage flanked by cypress trees, hydrangeas and box hedging, the pleasing symmetry of the Georgian-style architecture is sure to impress. The front door opens to an imposing double height entrance hall, solid timber staircase and flagstone floors.
The heart of the farmhouse is a brand new hand-crafted solid timber kitchen complete with Aga cooker, retro-style Smeg fridge, brushed brass butler sink, 3-meter vintage kitchen island, walk-in pantry, remodelled separate laundry, flagstone floors with underfloor heating and an impressive cellar.
The flagstone floors flow through the open-plan dining space to the grand living room with high vaulted ceilings, large wood burner and triple aspect windows. There is an additional cosy separate living room on the ground floor with open fireplace and macrocarpa floor boards which can also be used as a 5th bedroom.
The master bedroom and bathroom have recently been remodelled to include generous built in wardrobes, dressing table, hand-blown glass pendant lights and brushed brass feature detailing. Upstairs are three further large double bedrooms, an additional bathroom and separate study all freshly painted with reclaimed period detailing and wide macrocarpa floorboards.
With two sets of French doors leading from the kitchen, the North Eastern deck gets all day sun and is lined by a wide sweeping verandah that allows you to take in the far-reaching views to Ben Lomond - sunrise over the mountains is particularly breath-taking. The mature gardens with country-style planting, neatly clipped box hedging, stone firepit and purpose built kitchen garden are all surrounded by hand built dry-stone walls with multiple paddocks beyond, perfect for the keen hobby farmer.
The converted barn is detached from the main house with 2 loft bedrooms, a bathroom, store room and kitchen/dining/living room. Ideal as guest accommodation for visiting friends and family, the barn also offers income potential when operated as a short term rental with projected annual returns of approximately $60,000+.
Walking distance to famous Josef Chromy Winery on a no through road, this property offers privacy and tranquillity all whilst being located only 10 minutes to the convenience of Launceston CBD and Airport.
The house is connected to town water and also has a large underground water tank plus two dams to provide additional water for the property and garden. Furthermore, recently installed solar panels on the barn mean utility bills are kept to a minimum. Rarely do character properties with such a diverse range of opportunities come to the market.
