Perched up on your very own 39 acres (15.93ha), the home sits within a wonderfully private position up on the hill enjoying both great views and all day sun from the northern aspect. Surrounded by hills covered with native forest and undulating rural pastures, you will feel like you are miles from anywhere, and yet it is only a 45 minutes drive into Hobart. The chalet style home has plenty of charm and is energy efficient with its mud brick construction. There are sheds, a veggie garden, fruit tree enclosure and the bottom boundary is Kellaways Creek.
Access to the property is via a country road that leads through Pelverata, a small community with large lifestyle properties and farms. As you arrive at the property, the driveway winds its way up the hill onto the land that consists of vast cleared grasslands with scattered patches of beautiful gums. There are 3 good dams, plus a 4th with some work. The dam along the eastern boundary is piped to the house, providing a good water supply. Consisting of mostly native bush, the property is home to lots of wildlife including wallabies, quolls and echidnas. Up above the Wedge Tailed Eagles soar, providing a regular spectacle. 2/3rds of the property is fenced allowing for possible stock grazing with some further fencing. Across the road and down the embankment, the bottom boundary of the property is right in the middle of Kellaways Creek. This is a permanent rivulet with trout and platypus to discover.
Back at the house, the mud brick and the pitch of the roof creates a character filled chalet style home. There is a verandah paved in stones that takes in the panoramic vista on offer, also providing a wonderful spot to sit back and relax in the peaceful environment this property gets to enjoy. Stepping inside, the high racked timber ceilings are instantly striking. The open plan living, dining and kitchen is overlooked by the mezzanine master suit upstairs. Up there there is room for a huge bedroom complete with ensuite bathroom and plenty of space left over for whatever you need it for. Set up the home office or art and craft studio. The property is already connected to Fixed Wireless NBN.
Down on the ground floor, another 2 bedrooms and the family bathroom along with a separate laundry and toilet complete a well flowing floor plan. A wood fire is located in prime position in the lounge, providing lovely warmth in the cooler months whilst adding a wonderful atmosphere. A reverse cycle air-conditioner will otherwise allow for easy comfort all year round.
Back outside, there is plenty of space to entertain friends and family. There is even a pizza oven ready to fire up to feed them all. Down the front, there are fruit tree and veggie enclosures for your home grown produce, along with a practical garden and potting shed. Self-sustainable efficiency is complimented with a 2.1kw solar panel and solar hot water combination system, helping to reduce your power bills. From the large gravel car parking next to the house, an access road leads you up to the farm shed. Half is a workshop/garage and the other half is open ideal for the tractor and farm implements.
You are 15 minutes from the hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville, where you will find all your large country town shops and services. The vibrant town of Cygnet is nearby. Sandfly is on route to Hobart. Just up the road is the Pelverata community hall and the start of the Pelverata Falls walking track. This is a wonderfully secluded location within a sunny natural environment.
