Sitting back up on the bank across the road from the shores of the beautiful Huon River, is this 1967 character home with a wonderful view right out over the estuary and the green hills on the other side. There are a couple of yachts moored right out the front and good access to the water for your kayak or dinghy. Recently completely re-roofed and fully refreshed with a coat of paint, the house looks great and will be maintenance free for years to come. Positioned at the front of 2555m2 (half an acre), there is space for a fenced pasture paddock and gardens, as well as the house with the garage and extra high car port to the side.
The home is accessed from the back via a covered carport and back patio, allowing you to get the shopping in from the car whilst remaining nice and dry. From here you enter into the open plan living area incorporating the dining, lounge and spacious timber kitchen. You instantly can't help but be drawn to the views of the sparkling blue waters against the green backdrop of the hills beyond. Large picture windows invite the views in and a clever covered deck is positioned off the dining, ideal to take advantage of the beautiful view. Changing with the seasons and the time of day, the vista will continue to intrigue and amaze throughout the year.
In the lounge, a built-in wood fire keeps you snug in the cooler months and a reverse cycle air-conditioner keeps the home comfortable all year round. The kitchen is very spacious with room to spread out and cook up a storm. Finished in Tassie Oak timber gives the styling a wonderful country feel. The dining is also spacious, large enough for a big table to entertain friends and family. Down the hallway, there are 3 bedrooms all with a water view. That makes 5 rooms with the ability to sight the beautiful Huon River. The master bedroom is at the front with pride of place, the middle room enjoys a different angle of the water and the rear bedroom is cleverly offset to get maximum light into the space as well as capturing the the river through a corner window. Ideal for the artist or a craft room, this one is also great for the home office, which will have the benefit of access to the wireless NBN service already connected.
Outside there is a matching timber garage and workshop space. Next to that is a purpose built closed carport with an extra high roof for a caravan, motor-home or large boat. All framed with beautiful old feature trees including an old oak tree really completes the scene. Up the back the fenced pasture is great for a few sheep and some chickens. Grow your own fruit trees and plant your veggies. Otherwise the surrounding farm is happy to have there sheep come in and out as free lawn mowers as you wish.
Port Huon is around 50 minutes to the Hobart CBD and offers a local store as well as a great hotel/pub with fantastic food and views over a marina. Nearby is an indoor heated pool and sports facilities. The quaint town of Geeveston is 5 minutes down the road with small supermarket, doctors and primary schools as well as cafes and a variety of small shops. Huonville, in the other direction, is 20 minutes away and is the main hub for the Huon Valley. Here you will find a large supermarket and all your services including the local high school.
