Quiet, leafy and wonderfully private, it is the perfect opportunity for those looking to leave behind the pace of suburban living and enjoy the simple pleasures of country life in the beautiful Huon Valley.

A garden lovingly created, with something to discover around every corner.

One of the most special aspects of this property is the established gardens.

For those who love the idea of growing their own food, the possibilities are exceptional. Within a substantial netted growing area, you will discover an abundance of established fruit trees and berries, including:

There is also a dedicated chook run with 2 Eglu chook houses and all protected with overhead netting, and a raised vegetable garden ready for seasonal planting.

Imagine collecting fresh eggs, picking your own berries, harvesting fruit straight from the trees and enjoying vegetables grown just steps from your kitchen. It is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with nature and enjoy the rewards of a more sustainable lifestyle.

The three substantial water tanks hold approximately 66,000 litres of water, providing an excellent resource for maintaining the gardens and supporting your growing ambitions. Town water is also available at the roadside, although it is not currently connected to the home.

Space, sunshine and spectacular Huon River views.

The kitchen has been cleverly positioned to create a natural division between the dining and lounge spaces while maintaining an inviting connection throughout the home. The bedrooms all feature built-in wardrobes, while thoughtful storage at the front entrance adds everyday practicality. The north-facing, partly covered ModWood decking add to views across the Huon River and up to the top of Grey Mountain.

A second deck, conveniently accessed from the dining room, offers another lovely place to enjoy the peaceful surrounds.

Double-glazed windows, Luxaflex honeycomb blinds and curtains throughout, together with insulation in the walls, ceilings and floors, contribute to year-round comfort.
