With Tasmania firmly established as a premier holiday destination and Southern Tasmania increasingly sought after for permanent living, it’s no surprise that a property of this calibre is highly prized. Set on approximately 20 acres of beautifully pastured land, this exceptional holding offers a generously proportioned two-storey family home alongside the much-loved, luxurious self-contained accommodation known as Shanleys.
A rare and distinctive offering, the quality mud brick residence and separate accommodation are rich in character, space and warmth, while also providing an outstanding income stream. Elevated to capture sweeping valley views, the property enjoys exceptional privacy, enhanced by thoughtfully designed cottage and native gardens, mature specimen trees and majestic gums. The landscaping has been carefully planned to ensure complete separation and seclusion between the two dwellings.
The main residence is filled with natural light and showcases a spacious open-plan living area brimming with character. Exposed timber beams, high ceilings, a cosy wood-fire nook and expansive windows draw the outdoors in, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen is a standout, offering abundant bench space, generous storage, modern appliances and excellent natural light—an entertainer’s and chef’s dream.
Accommodation comprises four spacious bedrooms, including two on the ground floor, with the master suite featuring built-in robes and a private ensuite. The remaining two bedrooms are located upstairs alongside a second living area, ideal as a family retreat or games room. Entertaining is a delight with a private courtyard accessed via French doors from the dining area, while the expansive covered sundeck wraps around three sides of the home, delivering breathtaking views and providing the perfect place to unwind. Practical sustainability features include a 12.8kW solar system with two Sigenergy batteries and approximately 160,000 litres of water storage servicing the home, cottage and gardens.
The separate accommodation mirrors the charm of the main residence, also constructed from mud brick and full of character. Designed over split levels, the entry level comprises a welcoming living and dining area with a functional kitchen. The bedroom is positioned below and features a luxurious spa bath overlooking the valley—an idyllic retreat at the end of the day—along with a separate bathroom for convenience. French doors open to a covered sundeck, creating an inviting space for breakfast or quiet reflection, surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens that offer guests complete privacy and tranquillity.
Further enhancing the versatility of the property are extensive outbuildings, including a large farm shed capable of storing approximately 400 hay bales annually, a powered machinery shed with additional storage, and a separate powered studio or office nestled within the garden. A single garage and workshop are located beneath the main home, complemented by ample open parking. The land is fully fenced and features a dam, pond and a dedicated horse area, making it ideal for those seeking a rural lifestyle with grazing potential.
This truly unique property combines an exceptional family home, income-producing accommodation, stunning grounds and endless lifestyle opportunities. Ideally located approximately 30 minutes from Huonville, a short drive to Geeveston, and just 10 minutes from the coastal township of Dover with its beaches and fishing, this is a rare chance to secure a remarkable Southern Tasmanian retreat.
