112 Dakins Road, St Marys, Tas 7215

If getting off the treadmill of society, having room to play and still be within minutes of full town services sounds appealing, then take a look at this surprising property. At just 5km from the centre of St Marys, 112 Dakins Road offers just about everything you could want for an off-grid lifestyle.

The land includes a mix of pasture and bushland, while the home and shed are built in a low fire-risk location and free from flood threat. The two bedrooms offer built in wardrobes and the office has a built-in desk and storage. The open-plan living zone includes a large modern country kitchen, lounge and dining areas, all kept cosy with the wood heater and double glazing.

With 6kW of solar panels and 15.4 kilowatt hours of battery storage, the current owners have only run the backup generator for about 4 days in the last year. Bottled gas is used for hot water and the cook-top, and they use three 45kg bottles a year.

Outside you'll find the king of sheds, being 9x24m, with a 3.6m door height. The high pitch of the roof invites a mezzanine level to be installed, if you require further storage. The inclusion of a modern bathroom in the shed adds a level of convenience and luxury to those days you've got too many projects to think about going back to the house.

The twenty-metre poly tunnel and raised beds will help kick-start your self-sufficient life, while the bespoke chicken coop and its resident ladies complete the package. With 67,400L of water storage and an easement and water drawing rights from the local creek, water supply should not be an issue. Two 40-foot containers add to the facilities of the property, with one being partially lined and a wood heater installed.
Every day will be a pleasure to survey your property as you are treated to 360-degree views of local prominent mountains and the Fingal Valley.

Steeped in history and recognised as a haven for people seeking an alternate lifestyle, St Marys is just fifteen minutes from spectacular East Coast beaches and forty minutes to the vibrant centre of St Helens. The East Coast is a mecca for enthusiasts of mountain biking, fishing, surfing, diving, bush walking and wine and food trails. You'll be the envy of friends and family for your close proximity to Binalong Bay, the Bay of Fires, Bicheno and the breath-taking Freycinet National Park.
