On a clear day - you really can 'see for ever' from 167 Malcolms Hut Road, Richmond. This tastefully appointed brick home on 20 acres of pasture and light bush enjoys a wow factor beyond compare from commanding views of the Coal River Valley spanning the patchwork of vineyards and agri enterprises encircling Richmond township and away to Pittwater and Dodges Ferry in the South East.
Chosen by the vendors of 25 years residence for the space, privacy and proximity with Richmond township but 11 minutes drive away - their love of this place is evident everywhere. In the many exotic trees and low maintenance shrubs they have established among traditional dry stone wall terracing and protecting the approx 3 acre house block with electric fencing allowing their choice of roses and fruit trees to prosper and the well laid out workshop, where the vendor personally crafted many of the quality furnishings for their home.
The residence enjoys all day sun from a prefect NE aspect and features the ambience and warmth many speciality timbers throughout. With a veranda protecting the level access entry to the home, cathedral ceilings and a feature cast iron combustion wood heater in the large kitchen/family room on entry - 167 Malcolms Hut Road has the spacious and special feel and of a farm enterprise yet is a compact and easy care residence.
A nice touch is the individually controlled ceiling heat for each of the 3 bedrooms. And the needs of visiting family or friends are catered for with a self contained chalet with it's own private and peaceful garden area. Perfect for independent living teenagers, a senior family member or even B & B service perhaps.
Meanwhile, unfolding to the hills behind the home is the balance of the title totalling 20 acres in all, comprising well drained pasture suited to grazing, light bush to keep you well supplied with firewood and another workshop/store building housing farm machinery. Space for leisure activities like archery, target shooting a golf driving range, a 20 minute boundary walk or perhaps for a few sheep, angora goats or alpacas.
And all this just 20 minutes from the Hobart CBD, 11 minutes from Richmond township services and 15 minutes from the Hobart airport. Could your life really be this good? Inspections by appointment please - ring Jim Playsted at Harcourts Hobart 0437 222600.
