Just north of the historic township of Richmond sits a Tuscan-style estate on 120 acres of prime land. Constructed in 2006, the remarkable homestead enjoys an elevated and private position with a walnut farm, an olive grove, and sprawling views across the countryside and Coal River Valley region.
Set well back from the road, the expansive estate with northerly aspect affords complete privacy while being within half an hour of Hobart, and a short drive to the amenities of Sorell. The main dwelling, with an abundance of living space, is joined by a delightful independent cottage on the property, with three bedrooms and spacious living of its own.
Beginning on the ground floor of the grand homestead, an exceedingly large family room sits at the heart of the abode and extends out to the garden courtyard via glass bi-fold doors. Bathing in sunshine, a conservatory with large windows extending to the ceiling above provides the perfect place to relax while admiring the rural views and leafy surrounds. Adding to the home's comfort, a raised central fireplace ensures warmth flows throughout the entire home.
Through to the kitchen, which is truly a chef's delight, granite benchtops glisten. Sleek, midnight tiles and quality timber and glass cabinetry complement premium black appliances within, including a double oven, rangehood, and stainless-steel fridge. An enviable walk-in pantry is on-hand for ample storage. Ideal for entertaining, a woodfired pizza oven is nestled within the courtyard, where you would be forgiven for thinking you had been transported to a luxurious Italian villa, surrounded by rolling green pastures and florals bursting with colour.
A separate formal dining room adjacent to the culinary space offers plenty of room for family meals and elegant dinner parties. Supplementary living space adjoins and can be utilised as accommodation if desired. A modern bathroom, with shower, vanity, and toilet, is nearby, with a sizeable laundry enjoying the ease of outdoor access.
Two of the bedrooms on the ground floor sit within a self-contained wing of the home, ideal for teenagers or visiting guests and extended family. Each of these two bedrooms contain built-in wardrobes and are serviced by a large bathroom with corner-shower, a separate bath, vanity, and commode., with living/dining extending to a sunny patio. the additional bedroom on this level is accessed through the sitting room.
Ascending to the upper level, the space is occupied by a grand, master bedroom with walk-in dressing room, an en-suite, and a study. The private balcony offers panoramic views, stretching as far as the eye can see across the pristine countryside and estate.
The separate brick cottage provides quality accommodation, with three bedrooms, a large living and dining space with wood heater, kitchen, bathroom, and a laundry. There's ample storage within sheds and workshop space, and room for outdoor entertaining.
