Foothills is a lovable and affordable hobby farm with more than 100 years of history and is found just 35 minutes from Hobart. Set on around 90 acres with a mixture of lush pasture combined with mature bushland and featuring stunning views to the north, including Mount Dromedary to the South. The warm and inviting family home was originally constructed in circa 1900 and has had various extensions over the years and features some beautiful original wood flooring, combined with carpeted areas.
From the undercover you'll enter to the mudroom before being greeted by a true country kitchen with a generous volume of storage and bench space, as well as a functional combustion stove, and large window to enjoy the colourful garden. Through to the spacious lounge, which is finished in modern neutral tones, the freestanding wood heater makes this room the perfect place for cosy evenings.
The central dining room is the open-plan heart of the living spaces, featuring timber shelving and timber panelled ceiling. A second living space is carpeted and thanks to yet more large windows, is a wonderful sunny spot to enjoy the northerly aspect. Or stroll out to the adjacent
sun-deck, with shade-sail and enjoy garden views from a relaxing elevated location.
Three bright and generously sized bedrooms all benefits from light-tone plush carpet, and built-in robes in the master. The bathroom features separate bath and shower, while the home benefits from separate toilet and also laundry.
Outside you will find outbuildings and a delightful cottage garden that is fenced, so perfect for kids play, pets and entertaining. There is also a resident wombat that has taken a liking to the place, and a newly planted orchard features a huge variety of fruit trees for the new owners to enjoy.
Major features of this property are fencing and a year-round flowing spring, which feeds multiple large water tanks (90,000 litres) and dams, and allows use of the excellent soils with any number of crops or grazing options on its 30 acres of pasture.
Located just 20 minutes from a shopping centre and services, and only 35 minutes from the Hobart CBD with two scenic driving routes to enjoy.
An ideal lifestyle opportunity in a beautiful part of South Tasmania with so much to offer its new caretakers. Contact Ben Vance for further information and to arrange your private inspection.
