Steeped in local history and standing as a proud sentinel of the Ellendale community since circa 1920, the iconic "I.R. Clark Store" is far more than just a house - it is a landmark. Once the heartbeat of the village, this traditional weatherboard residence and cash store has been thoughtfully transitioned into a substantial family home, offering a rare blend of heritage charm, modern comfort, and genuine future potential.
Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort
Behind the classic facade and full-length front veranda lies a home of surprising scale and warmth. The ground floor showcases polished Tasmanian timber floors and a versatile layout featuring:
• Multiple Living Zones: A spacious main living room with reverse cycle air conditioning, a cozy "snug" with an original open fireplace, and a separate dining room warmed by a new wood heater.
• The Heart of the Home: A beautifully fitted kitchen featuring timber cabinetry, induction cooking, and a dishwasher. The kitchen looks out into the large, enclosed breezeway and entertainment area, creating a seamless connection for family gatherings.
• Thoughtful Upgrades: The current owners have invested heavily in year-round comfort, including a new wood heater in the dining area and the replacement of many ground-floor windows with tinted double glazing.
• Accommodation: Five bedrooms in total, including a convenient ground-floor master. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms and a study nook—perfect for those working from home.
The Ultimate Hobbyist’s Haven & Secure Grounds
On the adjacent title sits a massive 129sqm workshop, that is a rare find in today’s market. Featuring two high-clearance sliding doors, a mezzanine level, and a built-in inspection pit, it is the ultimate setup for a tradesperson or car enthusiast. For those with children or pets, the entire property is now fully enclosed by new 1.5m secure fencing to all boundaries, providing total peace of mind and privacy.
Two Titles, Endless Potential
Spanning a combined 1,164sqm (approx.), the inclusion of two separate titles (989 & 991) provides the kind of "land bank" security rarely seen. Whether you explore the potential for a second dwelling, a self-contained retreat, or simply enjoy the extra space, the flexibility here is a significant asset (STCA).
Adventure at Your Doorstep
Beyond the village, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy Tasmania’s premier wilderness and recreation hubs. You are just a short drive from the Mt Field National Park, one of the state's oldest and most diverse parks, and the world-class trails of the Maydena Bike Park.
The Location
Enjoy the peace of a village lifestyle with the local Post Office just a stroll away for daily essentials. Located under 40 minutes from the bustling hub of New Norfolk and just over an hour from Hobart, Ellendale offers the perfect escape without sacrificing accessibility.
