Welcome to Woodlands!
10,000 square metres / 2.5 acres of "amazingness" here at 160 Lucaston Road in the heart of Lucaston. Situated just 30 minutes from the centre of Hobart, on arriving through the gates and up the tree-lined driveway, it feels as though you are a million miles away from anywhere.
The first building you come across is a large, double storey original Apple Shed . providing enormous storage areas and workshop spaces, with the upper level converted into an almost completed new self-contained studio / Airbnb space with brand new bathroom etc, this studio has its own septic and water supply. Adjacent to this are more sheds and a shade house.
The gardens are more than impressive. 2.5 acres of pretty much a private Botanical Garden, with sweeping lawns, all sorts of mature trees and shrubs and flowers bursting with colour all year round, a large and picturesque lake, walking paths with seating areas and shaded private spaces, a glass house . all of this bounded by the permanent Bakers Creek. The whole gardens have reticulated water from both the dam and the creek.
Then the home! Built on 3 levels, it faces East / North-east to capture all day sun and has excellent views over the gardens, creek, adjacent rural countryside and all the way to the back of Mt Wellington / Kunyani and Sleeping Beauty.
Entry to the home is via a double carport - so you never have to get wet through the leadlight door and into a lovely formal foyer leading to the main living dining space. This living area features high raked ceilings with exposed beams, a very efficient wood heater and full width windows and glass doors to take in the sun and views. Adjacent is a sunroom / conservatory which makes for a great breakfast room, and all of this with a "wrap around" sun deck.
The very functional blackwood kitchen has lots of storage and bench space (stone bench tops) with top of the range appliances and leads through to a large Butler's Pantry with even more storage. From here there is a combined laundry / Boot Room or Mud Room, with direct access to the gardens and lake.
Still on this mid-level there is a 3rd Living room / Study with a powder room leading off it.
At the lower level you will find 2 x large bedrooms each with built-in robes and direct access to a verandah and to the gardens.
At the upper level is the family bathroom, 3 more air-conditioned bedrooms (so a total of 5 bedrooms), 2 with built-ins and then a very spacious Master Suite. This Master Bedroom suite features a recently renovated Ensuite, a large walk-in-robe and private balcony.
This country estate is sure to impress and will not last long in the current market. So don't miss out, call me today!
