Set amongst approximately five acres of beautiful established gardens and gently sloping pasture, this exceptional lifestyle property enjoys breathtaking views across the broad waters of the Huon River estuary. With a spacious home, extensive outdoor entertaining areas, impressive shedding and productive grounds, it offers a wonderful combination of country living, comfort and versatility.
Positioned at the end of a quiet no-through road and surrounded by other small acreage properties, the setting provides a remarkable sense of peace and privacy. The elevated position captures sweeping views across the river, rolling farmland and forested hills, with the morning sun rising over Grey Mountain to create a spectacular outlook that changes with the seasons.
The charming weatherboard home has been thoughtfully extended to provide generous accommodation and flexible living spaces for families of all ages. With four to five bedrooms or alternative living areas, there is plenty of room for children, guests, working from home or simply enjoying a little extra space.
At the heart of the home, the beautiful timber kitchen features stainless steel appliances and connects naturally with the dining and family living areas. Large windows frame the magnificent outlook, while direct access to the surrounding decks and verandahs makes indoor and outdoor living effortless.
The extensive decks and verandahs are a particularly appealing feature, providing wonderful places to relax or entertain throughout the year. With outdoor spaces positioned around the home, there is always somewhere to enjoy the sunshine, take in the views or find shelter from the prevailing breeze.
Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys stunning river views, generous wardrobe and an ensuite. Additional bedrooms and living spaces provide the flexibility needed for larger families, visiting guests or those seeking a comfortable work and lifestyle balance.
The grounds are every bit as appealing as the residence itself. Mature deciduous trees provide beautiful seasonal colour and welcome summer shade, contrasting wonderfully with the surrounding native gums and natural Tasmanian landscape. Established gardens, thoughtfully planted over many years, create an inviting setting around the home, with level areas providing usable space for outdoor activities and family enjoyment. A wonderful selection of established fruit trees adds to the property's productive appeal, while a hothouse provides opportunities for growing vegetables, raising seedlings and enjoying gardening throughout the seasons.
For those dreaming of a small acreage lifestyle, the approximately one-hectare fenced paddock is a particularly valuable feature. Ideally suited to a few sheep, goats or other small livestock, it provides the opportunity to enjoy a manageable hobby farm without the demands of a larger rural holding. A picturesque dam adds another attractive element to the grounds, creating a beautiful outlook from the property's additional entertaining areas.
The circular driveway provides convenient access and easy movement around the property, with plenty of space for vehicles, trailers and visitors. For anyone seeking substantial shedding, workshop space or room to pursue their interests, this property has an impressive amount to offer.
Close to the residence is a large garage incorporating its own bathroom, currently utilised as a home gym. This versatile space is ideal for fitness, hobbies or recreation and offers the convenience of a separate facility away from the main living areas. A generous carport provides excellent covered vehicle accommodation, while a substantial additional workshop is a real highlight of the property. Finished internally with a combination of plywood and plasterboard lining, the large workshop offers an attractive and practical environment for vehicles, projects, storage or entertaining.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, 32 Heriots Rise is conveniently located just minutes from the historic riverside township of Franklin, known for its maritime heritage, welcoming community, cafés, dining and beautiful waterfront. Nearby, Huonville offers a wider range of shopping, schools, medical facilities and everyday services, while Hobart remains within comfortable commuting distance.
What makes this property particularly appealing is the balance it offers. There is the beauty of the river outlook, the warmth of the character home, the established gardens and fruit trees, practical land for animals, and exceptional sheds and entertaining spaces. It is a property where you can enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, pursue your hobbies, grow your own produce, entertain family and friends, or simply appreciate the peace and privacy of your own country retreat.
32 Heriots Rise is an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the space, scenery and lifestyle that make Tasmania's Huon Valley so special. Please call or email to arrange a private inspection.
