This magnificent 190 square metre country home is positioned between Port Huon and Castle Forbes Bay, which makes the travel time to the central hub of Huonville a mere 10 minutes. The high-quality home and property promises incredible potential for a number of income producing activities and it also offers some of the Huon Valley’s most breathtaking views over the Huon River and the mountains.
The home sits well set back, in an elevated position on its almost 5-acre block, which allows it to enjoy 180-degree views of the water. The original, historic 1900s home has recently been transformed into a warm, sun filled and invitingly spacious residence that has managed to combine its attractive heritage with sensible modern improvements, seamlessly blending the old and the new.
Double glazed windows now frame the entire front face of the house, capturing incredible views from each of their unique angles. These angles also help to separate the large living, sitting, and dining areas into more intimate, cosy spaces. The timber kitchen with its earth tone granite benchtops, overlooks the dining area and provides exceptional quality appliances such as the 900mm Falcon stove and integrated Miele dishwasher. There is plenty of storage and preparation space, loads of natural light and stunning views that may well distract you as you entertain.
A cosy snug is accessed off the living area and is warmed by the gorgeous wood heater. This space makes for a very comfortable sitting room and would also make an ideal home office or library.
There are two, spacious bedrooms in the front section of the home, each is generously proportioned, one with wall to wall built in robes and the other with a walk-in closet. The beautiful family bathroom is nearby and complimented by underfloor heating.
At the rear of the house, there is a spacious master suite which offers a well-appointed bathroom, as well as allowance for a sitting room. This space also provides external access which makes it ideal for visiting family and friends and holds potential for use as guest accommodation, or Airbnb.
The home is surrounded by stunning, well-established gardens that burst into colour in the spring. A covered garden room comes alive in the season and is the perfect spot for entertaining, as guests can easily walk amongst the landscaped grounds.
In addition to the double garage under the house, there is a massive 150sqm timber barn. This was the original Apple packing shed for the neighbouring orchard and is now an incredible asset to this property – it is currently used as a banquet and entertaining space, hangout spot and storage room. A substantial 97sqm workshop with 3 phase power available is off the side of this barn and has a mechanics pit built in as well.
There is also a stand-alone, approved retail store that has been thriving over the past few years of operation and proves the incredible income potential of this property. This 95sqm building provides multiple showrooms and storage space and is warmed by a wood heater. There are plans drawn to create an ancillary dwelling in this building if you so desire.
There are fertile, north-facing pastured and well fenced paddocks, a stone fruit orchard and dedicated areas for animals – currently home to miniature goats, alpacas, sheep and chickens.
This remarkable property has so many outstanding additional features, a detailed list of which can be emailed upon request. I encourage you to contact us for further information and to schedule your private appointment to view.
