Castle Forbes Bay TAS 7116

Positioned up a very picturesque valley, this idyllic lifestyle property oozes plenty of old world charm. Consisting of a total of 29 acres (11.77ha), the property provides a great mix of rolling pasture hills with a large section of your very own native forest to explore. The home is a classic, gorgeous country cottage with loads of period character. Out the back there is a studio set up with a lounge, bedroom and bathroom. Ideal for the teenager in the family or visiting guests or a parent. And then there are the multiple out buildings including an old barn ripe for renovation, a workshop, the original dairy and garden shed.

As you enter through the front door from the wide sweeping verandah, you are welcomed inside by a classic hallway that runs from the front, right through to the back with 4 rooms. Three are used as the bedrooms and the lounge and the 4th is the kitchen. The front room has a feature fireplace, which was once double sided with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. There are hints of the timber floors throughout, that show the history this old home has been witness to. The bathroom is really nice, recently replaced brand new and the kitchen has seen upgrades over the years. The high ceilings provide a great sense of space and the timber panelling, along with the beautiful stained glass window above the entry door, all add the the charm of this lovely old home.

At the rear, there is a super practical boot-room that is accessed directly from the covered area that links the carport to the back door. A second toilet is ideal for when you are in the garden or working the farm. A clever storage is located along the carport and with plenty of other great sheds, there is no shortage of storage. A quaint little old caravan is ready to do up and the original old dairy is a real feature, still with the holding pen and feeding bucket. The main workshop has power and a concrete floor, providing excellent space for the handy person to create and room for the farm tools. Opposite is the original barn. It is just crying out to be lovingly restored or transformed.
