Originating from 1910, this quaint cottage sits on just shy of 2 acres (7735 m2) of private grounds. Consisting of mostly lawn with a corner of bush and a section of pretty established gardens, this is a lovely setting to enjoy all to yourself. Surrounded with more bush and other small acre properties, this is an idyllic country escape, there is even a glimpse of the Huon River through the trees. Up the back, a huge shed provides very practical extra space for cars and the workshop.
As you turn in through the gates, you are welcomed in past a row of mature apple trees, leading you to the carport attached to the home. Stepping inside, the cottage has been updated and modernised with comforts over the years, now with an open floor plan that flows seamlessly from the lounge, through the kitchen and to the dining. A new slow-combustion wood heater provides warmth throughout the home as well as a lovely atmosphere. Then there is a recently installed reverse cycle air-conditioner for easy all year round comfort. Other upgrades include new carpet in the bedrooms and new curtains and blinds throughout.
From the lounge, French doors open out to the deck that provides an elevated outdoor space, extending the living connecting inside with the outside. Overlooking your own grounds, this is a relaxing setting to entertain guests or simply enjoy for yourself. Straight out from the dining, there is a covered section, providing you with shelter on those hot sunny days. Back inside, the master bedroom has been expanded into the front sunroom, providing a lovely space over looking the gardens. Both bedrooms have robes and the bathroom is central with a separate loo. Out the back, the laundry doubles as a spacious mud room, a practical space as you come in from the carport.
Outside, there is a beautiful big old deciduous Maple tree that really sets the scene with changing colours throughout the seasons. A large gum sits along a small dam and just below that a selection of 20 fruit trees have been planted including Cherries, Pears, Figs, Almond, Nectarine, Feijoa, Lemon, Orange and Bay to compliment established Apple Trees. At the rear, the shed is invaluable, providing 2 garage spots and still loads of room for the workshop. Just off to the side of the cottage, a beautiful garden setting is full of colour, forever changing with the seasons too. Here a small garden shed is practical to have the gardening tools at hand. Up the back a section of your own bush will keep you well stocked with kindling for the fire.
Positioned between Port Huon and Geeveston makes this property well located to benefit from their facilities. Port Huon has a marina, the Kermandie River Hotel for pub meals and an indoor heated pool at the sports centre. Just down the road is access to the river for kayaking or evening strolls at the Shipwright's Point park. Geeveston is only minutes up the road, a quaint country town packed with history, offering a small IGA, a great butcher, pharmacy, doctors and a selection of eateries including the Old Bank and Harvest and Light, a Picklery and wine bar.
The main Hub for the Huon Valley is at Huonville, around 20 minutes by car and Hobart is well within the hour. Please contact us for further information or to arrange a private viewing.
