Step into the past with this extraordinary Victorian character home dating back to 1880. Nestled on a tranquil 14-acre parcel at the end of a peaceful road, this property provides an unmatched sense of privacy and seclusion. The property is currently on the market for sale, so a 3-month fixed term lease agreement is preferred but other short lease terms or a non-fixed lease can be negotiated.
The lease can have gardening included at $700.00 per week, or not included for $650.00 per week. Please note if gardening is not included, the tenant would only be required to maintain the gardens within the boundary fence line of the house. The surrounding paddocks are not included, but can be used by negotiation. The property can be furnished or unfurnished if required. A perfect opportunity for those wanting to stay in Tasmania for a short term stay without paying Airbnb prices.
Marvel at breathtaking views of the Wellington Ranges and Hartz Mountain in the distance. The home itself is a captivating blend of old-world charm and contemporary convenience. A grand double-gated entrance, flanked by sandstone posts, welcomes you with an air of sophistication. Dormer windows and original open fireplaces pay homage to craftsmanship from a bygone era, while the modern kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry, and two living rooms, seamlessly merge the elegance of the past with the comforts of modern living.
The central living room, featuring a cosy wood heater for winter nights and a reverse cycle air conditioner for year-round comfort, stands as the heart of this timeless home. Boasting five spacious bedrooms—three on the ground floor and two upstairs—this home offers flexible living arrangements. Modern family bathrooms on both levels cater to convenience, and a dedicated sunroom provides a tranquil space for either work or relaxation.
Outside the home, the property unfolds as a nature lover's paradise. Covered and open sundecks create inviting spaces for indoor-outdoor entertaining, or simply relishing the natural surroundings. A workshop and pergola offer additional space for hobbies or gatherings. Enchanting cottage gardens, adorned with deciduous trees displaying a kaleidoscope of colours in autumn, incite the senses, while spring delivers a staggering display throughout the garden. Sandstone steps and pebbled pathways wind around the gardens, enhancing the property's appeal. Fruit trees raised veggie beds, and a chicken coop provide opportunities for those wanting to enjoy them.
Featuring double glazed windows, insulation, solar panels, and solar hot water, the home is both energy-efficient and eco-friendly, promising environmental and financial advantages. Three water tanks, two equipped with pumps and one gravity-fed, guarantee a reliable water supply. The property's private bushland beckons exploration, offering endless possibilities for walking, birdwatching, and sighting of the native fauna such as wombats, devils, quolls, wedgetail eagles, and the resident platypus, which you can see frequenting the dam and creek.
NBN or SkyMesh is available at the property for those working remotely from home. Please note utilities are not included in the rent.
