A 1-hour door to door 'easy picturesque drive' to Hobart airport, this property with extensive views around the Huon Valley and river is a rare find.

The main house with 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms is complemented by a fully insulated, self contained studio apartment attached to the large shed.

Complete privacy is assured as you enter through the electric gates that leads you to the beautiful circa 1900 home. A farm-style courtyard with multiple outbuildings including the old barn, garages and shelters for firewood and the workshop.

Entering the home, the period features combine with a touch of luxury. The Tassie Oak floors throughout are simply beautiful. The high ceilings are decorative pressed tin, framed with impressive ornate cornices. The fireplace mantles, the amazing stained glass and the original dado panelling, along with the large skirting boards, provide an historic charm.

Modernisation of the home has been tasteful and sympathetic to the period features. A new Hydronic heating system with multiple-zone controls is powered by solar evacuated tubes on the roof. Combined with the wood fire, this is a very cost efficient means of ensuring comfort throughout the home.

The kitchen has a chic country look and is fitted with quality appliances that include a double oven, microwave, induction cooktop and integrated dishwasher. The dining room is spacious currently housing a 10-seat table ideal for gatherings with family and friends.

From here there is access to a covered deck that takes in glorious panoramic views of the farming land and to the Huon River. Out the back is a Mediterranean inspired outdoor entertaining courtyard, complete with a large Woodfired Pizza Oven.

The bedrooms are all spacious with open fireplaces and have French doors to the verandas. Fully renovated Huon Pine sash windows and doors throughout really add to the appeal.

The 50 acre property consists of partly farmland, split into 12 well fenced paddocks, a small olive grove and veggie beds, and a native forest. Take a stroll past your sheep or cows, up the olive grove and to walking tracks in the forest. Don't forget to look up to see the Wedge-tailed Eagles that circle above.

Be as self-sufficient as you want here. The mains power is all underground and is backed up by a commercial grade diesel generator that will power the entire property should that be required. An abundance of water tanks hold ample water, while the gardens are fully irrigated by water from one of several dams on the property.
