Tucked away on a very private 4.5 acres (1.859ha), this modern designer home commands attention. Perched on the hillside with expansive views over rolling green hills and a native forest, this is a property that will provide you with all the comforts of a new, well insulated home within a relaxed country environment.
Located up a quaint country lane, you arrive at an electric gate, welcoming you to come in to discover. As you turn onto the driveway, you are instantly removed from the rural surrounds and immersed into a lush forest complete with tall gums and ferns. This winds its way through the forest and out to the cleared section of the property, where the home sits proud in an elevated position.
It is the interesting design and the mixed use of materials that makes this home so intriguing. The Colorbond cleverly offsets the warm timber beautifully. A sundeck provides a welcoming platform to the front door. As you step inside, the entry is super practical for the shoes and coats. This leads you through to the vast open plan living, dining and kitchen. It is the views that will capture your attention as will the vaulted ceilings and the sense of light and space.
Large double glazed glass sliding doors not only frame the vista, but also provide access out to the covered decking. Here you are elevated overlooking your own land with your pet sheep, with a lovely backdrop of gum trees and rolling farmland. The gorgeous timber floors throughout and the exposed timber beams are perfectly complimented with the black of select walls and kitchen cabinets. The choice of lighting completes the stylish look. A wood fire provides you with natural warmth as well as a great atmosphere in the cooler months.
Down the hallway leads to 3 bedrooms, the master suite is clever is design, with a full wall of storage hidden behind a separation, which then leads you through to the luxe ensuite, complete with a deep soak bath. The main bathroom is central and has a dual access, making it an ensuite to the 3rd bedroom. The laundry is a Euro-style down the hallway, neatly tucked away out of sight when not in use,
Outside, the property provides a great mix of pastures, currently enjoyed by the resident sheep, and a forest section that is just beautiful. A dam provides a good water source and the forest will keep your wood fire stocked for years to come. Included is a 40-foot storage container, ideal as the shed until you decide where you want one to go. Another quaint garden shed is great for the gardening tools and further storage. There is room for fruit trees and veggie patches, as well as a chicken coop for home-grown produce and farm fresh eggs. Be as self-sufficient as you choose.
Just down the road within 5 minutes, is the quaint town centre of Geeveston, where you will find an IGA supermarket, pharmacy, doctors and some great eateries. Huonville is the main hub of the Valley within a 20 minutes drive and the Hobart CBD is within the hour. In the other direction, the property is close to the Hartz National Park and the Tassie wilderness.
