A Blackwood tree-lined driveway welcomes you through an electric gate to a very private country homestead, set amid pastures and well established, park-like grounds. Just over three acres in size, the property offers a considered balance of space, with a selection of sheds and garages, storage options, comfort, practicality and self-sufficient productive rural living in a peaceful Huon Valley setting.
The home is designed for family life and gatherings, with an expansive open-plan living that opens out to wide, full wrap-around verandahs. Blackbutt flooring brings warmth and durability throughout the living, dining and kitchen area as well as the higher foot traffic areas. Large picture windows and clever skylights throughout invite natural light into the home, framing the rural and garden vistas. The kitchen is spacious and comes with a fabulous Smeg range-style cooker. There is a full walk-in pantry and the fridge has plumbing for ice making.
Comfort is assured year-round with underfloor and ceiling insulation and from the solid faux sandstone brick construction. Reverse-cycle air conditioners make temperature control easy and a wood-fired furnace under the home is ducted to most rooms via floor vents. Totalling 4 possible bedrooms, two have built-in robes, while the master enjoys a large walk-in wardrobe and private en-suite bathroom. A centrally located family bathroom services the other bedrooms.
Downstairs, the under-house area provides garaging for two vehicles with a remote roller door at one end and, two separate storage rooms and a convenient additional toilet is at the other — ideal for gardening days. Complementing this is a practical triple-bay garage and workshop, great for 2 more vehicles and all your tools. A hay store, garden tool shed and stables complete the practical outbuildings. An entertaining sundeck is a great addition, overlooking the garden, offering a peaceful spot to unwind and enjoy the outlook or for entertaining.
The land is thoughtfully divided into four fenced paddocks, currently running 6 sheep (keen to stay on with the new owners), chickens and geese, with electric fencing and a bonus reliable water bore providing an excellent water supply. Landscaping around the home includes mature ornamental trees such as weeping cherries and Birch trees, that will provide an amazing array of colour in Autumn and a splendour of blossoms in spring. Productive vegetable beds, a chicken coop will provide you with home grown produce and farm fresh eggs and a selection of fruit trees including peach, nectarine, apple, cherry, peacherine and pomegranate.
Surrounded by Cherry and Apple orchards, this is a very private position. Located just north of the hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville where you will find all your country town shops and services, and the Hobart CBD is within 30 minutes.
