Positioned just on the outskirts of Geeveston, this 9 acre (3.727 ha) property is ready for you to settle in and take on country living. The home was originally built in 1934 and is packed with features from the era. A huge old apple barn is a fantastic bonus extra and a pocket of forest is just beautiful. The remainder is pasture with a dam in the back corner, providing plenty of space to set-up your country lifestyle.
As you step into the home, the wide hallway welcomes you in. There are many period features throughout, including the timber-lined hallway walls with ornate shelving, the picture-rails in all the original rooms, the high ceilings, the decorative rosettes and cornices, the solid timber floors, and small individual quirks such as a small diamond stained-glass window and an old phone nook.
The floorpan is very flexible with multiple spacious rooms ideal to set-up to suit your needs. There are two great possible lounge rooms and 3 possible bedrooms as well as a study and a sunroom. Central to the bedrooms is the fully renovated bathroom, now providing a separate shower and separate bath. Through to the open plan kitchen and dining, here there is a wood fire, creating warmth and ambience and a reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep you comfortable all year round. Through in the lounge, another reverse cycle air-conditioner makes temperature control here easy.
Out the back, a large verandah provides covered access to the enclosed carport and the separate laundry and studio/utility room. The studio is ideal for further storage, an artist's space or maybe a great retreat for the teenager in the house. At the other end of the verandah, the covered deck is big enough for a large table to entertain all your friends and family. Well protected and overlooking the back yard, this is a very pleasant spot. The backyard is fully fenced providing a good safe area for kids and pets to run around.
Nearby is a huge old Apple barn. Providing a massive amount of covered space, this is great for the shed, workshop, studio, or for entertaining. There is access from the yard as well as from the side road, making it very practical. Through to the paddocks, there is enough pasture for a few sheep or a cow or two, the current owners have had a neighbour agist their cows on it for ease. Otherwise, just get the grass cut once or twice a year. Alternatively, this could be the perfect excuse to get yourself a small tractor and slasher. A dam at the back provides a great water source.
Completing the property is a corner of forest. Tall gums and a variety of native flora is a mecca for birds and wildlife. This is a great extra bonus that nicely completes the package. Just down the road is the quaint township of Geeveston. Here there are cafés, a pickles and wine bar, sushi, a butcher and IGA, pharmacy, doctors and school. The hub of the Huon Valley is at Huonville 15-20 minutes by car and the Hobart CBD is well within an hour.
