A truly unforgettable property with an undeniable "wow" factor, this landmark residence is celebrated not only for its breathtaking architecture and sweeping views across the Coal River Valley, but also for the delicious apricots sold annually from its stunning sandstone barn. Set across more than 42 acres of accessible countryside, the property offers an inspiring lifestyle opportunity where space, serenity, and endless potential come together beautifully. Whether you dream of continuing the established orchard, running livestock, creating a boutique vineyard with cellar door potential, or simply embracing a peaceful rural lifestyle with family and friends, much of the groundwork and infrastructure is already in place. Connected to town water and positioned within the South East Irrigation Scheme catchment, the future possibilities here are as exciting as the setting itself.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated to create a warm and inviting modern country estate - with the exception of the main bathroom which remains ready for your own personal touch. At the heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living and kitchen area - a welcoming space where everyday moments and discussions occur. The near new, beautifully designed country kitchen features an oversized island bench that has become the centre of family life, from morning coffees to evening conversations and everything in between. Designed with practicality and comfort in mind, the single-level layout caters perfectly to families of all ages, with two bedrooms positioned in each wing for flexibility and privacy.
The main bedroom suite feels like something from the pages of a design magazine, offering a luxurious parent retreat complete with dual walk-in robes, a stunning ensuite with underfloor heating, and a spacious walk-in shower. Adding to the home's unforgettable character is the striking stone turret - an architectural showpiece with soaring ceilings, timber double doors, and a statement chandelier that creates an atmosphere reminiscent of a romantic countryside estate. Whether used as a studio, formal dining room, second living area, or inspiring workspace, it is a space that leaves a lasting impression and a space you could easily while away the days dozing in the sun and enjoying the views. Double doors step out onto the front balcony overlooking the orchard and valley below. Here you can truly appreciate how special this property is.
Throughout the home, elegant yet practical styling complements the ever-changing rural landscape beyond every window. Sunlight pours across the polished floorboards in winter, while picturesque valley views provide a constant connection to the outdoors. Comfort is guaranteed year-round with reverse cycle heating and cooling in every bedroom and the main living area, along with a large freestanding wood heater that adds warmth, romance and ambiance.
Entertaining is equally impressive, with double doors opening onto a superb covered outdoor living area, finished with sandstone pavers and centred around an open fireplace. Sheltered from northerly winds and designed for year-round enjoyment, it is an inviting extension of the home where long lunches, celebrations, and quiet evenings can all be enjoyed in complete comfort.
Surrounding the residence, the owners have created a beautifully landscaped and enclosed oasis that feels private, peaceful, and secure for children and pets, while thoughtfully coexisting with the local wildlife that also call the property home. Although the land gently undulates across much of the acreage, the immediate areas around the house are level and easily accessible, with a carport adjoining the home and convenient flat access throughout the multiple doors to inside.
The existing apricot orchard of approximately 500 spray-free, organically grown trees, has become a much-loved family venture, complemented by cherries, plums, apples, and a thriving polytunnel vegetable garden. There is ample room to expand the orchard further or explore additional agricultural pursuits. The remarkable sandstone barn, built by a stonemason, is currently enjoyed as a vast games room, and showcases extraordinary craftsmanship with rustic timber, soaring beams, and an open fireplace that captures the authentic charm of country living. Additional infrastructure includes a dam, 24 x solar panels, multiple outbuildings, a four-bay tractor shed, and a double garage with lean-to and the property is fully fenced for livestock.
Blending contemporary comfort with timeless rural charm, this exceptional property offers far more than a home - it offers a lifestyle filled with beauty, possibility, and unforgettable moments in one of the region's most picturesque settings, the Coal River Valley, less than 10 minutes drive to Richmond and 40 minutes to Hobart.
