Tucked away in the heart of Geeveston, this truly delightful 1925 two-storey cottage sits privately on 1.5 acres of lush, botanical-style gardens along the picturesque Kermandie River. Blending historic charm with thoughtful modern updates, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to embrace both nature and comfort, privacy with convenience.
Step inside this 130 sqm home to find a light-filled open-plan living and dining area,
complemented by a beautifully modernised kitchen with abundant storage and stunning views over the established gardens. The upper level also features a spacious master bedroom with built-in robes, a modern bathroom, and a study nook/foyer.
Enjoy year-round comfort with natural wood heating and reverse-cycle air conditioning. Access between floors is provided by both a convenient internal spiral
staircase and off-street entry points. The lower level offers incredible flexibility, featuring a second bedroom, laundry/kitchenette, powder room, and a cosy sitting area adjoining an additional living space currently used as an art studio. There’s also a wine cellar or extra storage space tucked neatly beneath the house.
Outdoors, the property is a true sanctuary. A large rear sundeck makes the perfect suntrap, ideal for relaxing or entertaining while overlooking the breathtaking grounds. In spring the garden is a pollinator haven of blossoms and cottage garden favourites including heritage roses, lilac, columbine, windflowers, lavender, and culinary herbs. Autumn showcases the collection of Japanese maples and European deciduous trees, including spectacular liquidambars, red osier dogwood, and a small birch woodland that hosts fairy mushroom circles through the season. A dedicated polytunnel offers the perfect setup for herbs and tomatoes, alongside a well-organised vegetable patch and expansive free-range chicken coop.
Nature lovers will adore the tranquil riverside setting. Spend lazy afternoons by the water watching playful platypus, harvesting from the abundant plants cultivated for weaving, natural dyes, medicinal teas and floristry, or swaying in a hammock beneath dappled sunlight.
Additional features include a three-bay garage, ideal for vehicles, workshops, or storage, and plenty of off-street parking. Cat owners will appreciate the thoughtfully designed enclosed outdoor cat run.
Just moments from Geeveston’s vibrant township, you’ll enjoy cafés, great coffee, and everyday conveniences, all while being perfectly positioned as the gateway
to the Tahune Airwalk, southern coastal beaches, Hartz Mountain walking tracks, and
Hastings Caves. Call toady for your private viewing.
