Overview

Acreage Lifestyle with Infrastructure, Views & Future Potential

Set across a generous parcel with sweeping rural outlooks, this thoughtfully improved home offers a compelling blend of lifestyle, flexibility and future potential, creating a relaxed family environment with space to grow. Recently enhanced through a considered program of updates, including a full internal repaint and an updated kitchen, the home presents with a fresh, cohesive feel while retaining the warmth and character that defines it. Further cosmetic improvements throughout ensure the property feels ready to enjoy from the outset. The main living area is a standout, with its striking raked timber ceiling creating a wonderful sense of volume and character. Expansive windows draw in natural light and frame the surrounding landscape, while a wood fire provides warmth and ambience through the cooler months. Split-system heating and cooling throughout the home adds year-round comfort. Beyond the interiors, the property opens into a lifestyle setting that has been thoughtfully developed for family living. Established tree lines have been planted along the boundaries, creating greater privacy and structure while continuing to mature with the property. A dedicated chicken run and accompanying sheds add a practical semi-rural element, complemented by generous outdoor spaces for gardens, animals and children to explore. The playground further enhances the family appeal and helps create a property designed to be enjoyed both inside and out. Adding further versatility is the Pepper berry pod office with underground power, providing an ideal work-from-home or creative space. A separate fully insulated shipping container, currently utilised as a gym, provides additional flexibility for fitness, hobbies or storage. Water storage is well catered for with approximately 32,700 litres across two tanks 22,700L and 10,000L. Recent infrastructure upgrades also include a new septic tank and leach field system installed in 2026, together with enlarged downpipes and upgraded in-ground rainwater collection pipework. Importantly, the opportunity extends beyond what already exists. Designs for a future extension have already been completed, providing buyers with a clear vision and considered pathway to further expand the home, subject to the relevant approvals. Peacefully positioned yet conveniently connected, the property is approximately 30 minutes from Hobart CBD and around 10 minutes from nearby beaches, offering the space and freedom of a semi-rural lifestyle without feeling disconnected from schools, services and the coast. This is far more than a standard family home. It is a flexible lifestyle property with meaningful improvements already completed established infrastructure, generous outdoor space and a clear vision for its next chapter.
