This character filled cottage offers a fantastic mix of storybook country charm with a seaside lifestyle. Positioned amongst the trees within a lovely private bush setting and pretty gardens, yet with views to the bay and only a few minutes walk to the beach, you can have the best of both worlds here.
Constructed of timber logs and cladding, with a stone feature wall and some unique curved windows, this is not your standard home. There are a choice of the verandah with bay views or the rear patio through French doors to relax outdoors listening to the birds tweeting and the sounds of the babbling brook. The large block is just over two acres and has a great mix of ornamental gardens, lawns and food producing areas. Down the bottom section there is the bonus of Glenbervie Rivulet that flows most of the year right through the property.
Inside, the home offers a large open plan living with the very practical country kitchen and dining area. This space benefits from the atmosphere of the stone fireplace and lovely garden views. The room extends beyond this area through double doors, creating even more living spaces with a cozy nook down the end where apparently all the visitors want to hang out. Here there is also a lovely view down to the bay and large windows allow plenty of light to flood inside.
On the ground floor, there are 2 bedrooms, a large family bathroom, separate laundry and a study that could be a 4th bedroom. A spacious master retreat is located upstairs with plenty of room for a sitting area as well as sleeping quarters, the water view from up here is wonderful too. This is a very interesting and intriguing home with a dolls house in the woods feel to it. You might expect to bump into Little Red Riding Hood as you enter.
Wonderfully secluded up the winding driveway gives you a sense of being miles away from everything and yet, you are able to walk down to the beautiful white sandy beach of Port Esperance Bay and just a few minutes drive to the centre of Dover. Huonville is around 45 minutes by car north, where all the major services can be found. Dover is the gateway to the Great South West Wilderness where there is lots to explore.
