Set on almost five acres of gently undulating pasture, this beautifully improved rural property offers the perfect balance of country living, practicality and modern comfort, just minutes from the heart of Kettering.
Thoughtfully extended and enhanced over time, the home now provides flexible accommodation with four bedrooms, or alternatively three bedrooms and a second living area. Contemporary additions blend seamlessly with the original home, creating a warm and inviting residence that embraces its rural surroundings.
Bathed in natural light, the upstairs retreat is a standout feature. Whether utilised as a fourth bedroom, studio or additional living space, it enjoys peaceful rural vistas and glimpses of the water, providing a tranquil place to relax and unwind.
Polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards flow throughout the home, complementing the modern kitchen and creating a timeless country aesthetic. Three generous bedrooms are located on the lower level, serviced by two bathrooms for family convenience.
At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen (including dishwasher / induction cooktop) and dining area opens onto a large entertaining deck, perfectly positioned to overlook the gardens, paddocks and surrounding landscape.
Designed with sustainability and self sufficiency in mind, the property features an impressive solar system, heat pump hot water service, hydronic heating and a highly efficient wood heater with wetback system capable of heating water, powering the hydronic system and even functioning as a cooktop.
Outside, the lifestyle opportunities are endless. Little Oyster Cove Creek meanders along one boundary, while three fenced paddocks, a dam, horse shelter and extensive vegetable gardens provide everything needed for hobby farming or keeping animals.
The established organic orchard and productive gardens have been lovingly developed over several years and now provide an abundance of seasonal fruit, berries and vegetables. A magnificent century old mulberry tree forms a stunning feature beside the home, creating a beautiful canopy of shade during the warmer months.
Further improvements completed by the current owners include expanded solar capacity with a Fronius inverter, additional water storage, upgraded hot water system, improved paddocks and drainage, refurbished decks, extensive garden development, workshop enhancements, new blinds, updated lighting, resurfaced timber flooring and numerous maintenance upgrades throughout.
A 6m x 6m powered double garage with concrete floor, together with an adjoining 6m x 6m studio / storage area (extra living/income potential STCA), provides excellent space for vehicles, equipment and hobbies.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property remains exceptionally convenient. The Kettering Ferry Terminal, gateway to Bruny Island, Oyster Cove Inn, local cafés and essential services are only minutes away. Snug IGA, Snug Butcher and Meredith's Orchard only a short drive for your essential food items. Kingston is a 20-minute drive where you will find all essential services and several shopping centres, while Hobart's CBD can be reached in approximately 30 minutes.
A rare opportunity to secure an established lifestyle property where the hard work has already been done, allowing you to simply move in and enjoy the rewards of sustainable country living.
