Offers Over $2,200,000
Located in a highly sought-after area, this amazing property provides a wonderfully private refuge from the world. The recently completed home offers excellent energy efficiency along with a very practical and appealing layout. Consisting of 30 acres (12 ha), the property combines lovely undulating pastures with a section of forest as the backdrop for the home, which sits proudly at the top of the hill enjoying the panoramic vistas over multiple layers that include the valley, a vineyard, the Huon River estuary, and the mountains deep in the wilderness beyond.
The drive to the property lines the shores of the river, along a quiet country road where you are more likely to pass someone walking their dog, than other traffic. Up Oakfords Rd, you reach the gated entrance to the property, passing the prized hay paddock first, and then the spring-fed dam that provides a huge water source. A large machinery and storage farm shed is located at this point too. From here, the driveway leads up to a plateau at the top back corner, where the home takes full advantage of a spectacular view.
A smart gravel parking area loops around a mature olive tree creating a practical turning circle. A triple garage provides plenty of space to park the vehicles and still allows for a workshop. Stepping inside, the grand entrance welcomes you in. Entering the main open plan living, you get a real sense of space from the 2.7m high ceilings and the large picture windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood into the room. The double sliding glass doors connect this space to the outdoor entertaining, seamlessly integrating the inside with the outside. Off to the side is a great spot for the fire-pit, you will feel like you are on top of the world as the sun sets behind the Hartz Mountains, lighting up the vineyard and surrounding hills.
Overlooking the main living is the gorgeous well thought through kitchen. Incorporating quality, integrated appliances, along with the Japanese Impression Jade Sticks mosaic tiles, the Hugo Granite black sinks and the Smartstone bench tops, makes for a very tasteful design. Complimenting the abundant slow-close satin cupboards and drawers, the butler's pantry with extended storage is a real bonus.
The living is generous enough to house a huge dining table, big enough for all your friends and family at once. The lounge gets to enjoy the warmth and atmosphere of a wood fire, otherwise, temperature is easily controlled by a quad-zone ducted air-conditioning system, keeping the whole home comfortable all year round. Combined with double glazing and good insulation, this home is very energy-efficient. Constructed from carbon-neutral, Global Greentag certified premium eco-bricks, this further enhances the home's insulation quality.
Down one end of the home, the master suite is luxurious and reminiscent of a resort with the wide open access to the ensuite, complete with dual sinks, a separate deep-soak bath, and a waterfall shower. At the other end, there are 3 more bedrooms sharing a central family or guest bathroom. The media or theatre room is a welcoming space to lounge in, and another room is available for whatever extra space you need. Currently, it is an ideal yoga and meditation room. A dedicated study, with a built-in desk and shelving, is the ideal home office.
The property is very well fenced, allowing you to keep animals. A few sheep, horses, or a cow or three. Maybe agist the paddocks out to have someone else look after them, or alternatively simply cut the grass once a year.
This property will let you escape the busy world and reconnect you with nature. It will be a sanctuary providing complete privacy when you want it, and yet just down the road, over the hill, you are near the vibrant community of Cygnet. Cygnet is a lovely country town with funky cafΓ©s, boutique shops and all the basic services you need such as doctors, pharmacy, supermarket and schools.
The Valley's main hub is in Huonville, a 15-minute drive away. Hobart is 45 minutes over Mt Kunanyi, making it accessible for work or play.
