Foothills is an endearing and affordable hobby farm with more than 100 years of history and found just 35 minutes from the Hobart CBD. Set on almost 90 acres with a mixture of lush pasture and bushland, the property features stunning views to the north.
The warm family home was originally constructed of timber in 1904 and the story of its progressive extension is told with authenticity through the use of various materials and finishes, and the most delightful hardwood flooring.
From the undercover entry you are greeted by a true country kitchen with a generous volume of storage and bench space, as well as a functional combustion stove, and large window to enjoy the colourful garden. Through to the spacious lounge, which is finished in modern neutral tones, the freestanding wood heater makes this room the perfect place for cosy evenings.
The central dining room is the open-plan heart of the living spaces, featuring timber shelving and timber panelled ceiling. A second living space is carpeted and thanks to yet more large windows, is a wonderful sunny spot to enjoy the northerly aspect. Or stroll out to the adjacent sun-deck, with shade-sail and enjoy garden views from a relaxing elevated location.
Three bright and generously sized bedrooms all benefits from light-tone plush carpet, and built-in robes in the master. The bathroom features separate bath and shower, while the home benefits from separate toilet and also laundry.
Outside you will find outbuildings and a delightful cottage garden that is fenced, so perfect for kids play, pets and entertaining.
Major features of this property are fencing and a year-round flowing spring, which feeds multiple large water tanks (80,000 litres) and dams, and allows use of the excellent soils with any number of crops or grazing options on its 30 acres of pasture.
One part of the property is currently being used to successfully grow organic raspberries and peas. This provides a healthy income stream with scope to be easily expanded.
Located only 20 minutes from major shopping centre and services, just 35 minutes from the Hobart CBD, with this property offering so much, if you are considering an escape to the country, this property is a must to inspect.
