27 Kent St, Franklin is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 3 parking spaces and was built in 2009. The property has a land size of 79676m2 and floor size of 222m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in November 2020.
Positioned right on the edge of the riverside town centre of the ever-popular Franklin and just up a quaint country lane, lined with Cherry orchards, you will find this well insulated and double glazed contemporary home. Sitting on the hillside overlooking the town within the rural surrounds and the impressive Huon River, the views are nothing short of beautiful. Consisting of 7.9ha (19.5 acres) of well-fenced pastures, elaborate established fruit trees, veggie enclosures and ornamental gardens and a native forest, it is hard not to be impressed by what is on offer here.
We often talk about a self-sufficient lifestyle property with the ability to produce food, but this property takes that to a whole new level. The grounds around the home are not just beautifully developed, but also home to a fruit frenzy of maturing fruit trees, netted veggie enclosures, hot houses and a chicken coop for farm fresh eggs. As well as this, the property benefits from a dam with a huge holding capacity, rain-water tanks and town water supply as well. There is definitely plenty of water on this property. The gardens are reticulated with outlets throughout for ease of irrigation where required in summer and up the back there is a solar set-up that will all but negate your power bills.
The pastures and the garden area make up around half of the property, providing you with lots of productive land for hay and animals such as sheep or cows, as well as providing your very own picturesque rolling green hills. A stroll around the manicured grounds will reveal such wonders as an arbour covered in flowering white wisteria and neatly trimmed hedges along with many other garden gems and ornamental plants. A paved entertaining area has vines over it and is a gorgeous spot to sit back with a good book or glass of wine as you watch the native ducks play on the dam. Did I mention there is a fantastic view of the river from just about anywhere you are inside and out?
As you enter into the home at one end, the widespread river and township views are immediately apparent out the other, drawing your attention through the vast open plan living area to the covered front deck. The open plan space is well thought out, consisting of the dining room, lounge and sitting area around the wonderfully atmospheric wood fire. Overlooking this area is the kitchen, which comes with an envious 900mm stainless steel gas range cooker and plenty of bench space with soft close drawers, as you'd expect. From the kitchen sink, you have the same mesmerizing views of the river and the garden too.
Two of the three bedrooms are also on this level along with a home office, which could be a fourth bedroom should that be required. The main bathroom is cleverly designed with guests in mind. The shower and the toilet are separated from the vanity area for extra privacy if required by multiple persons at once. Then there is the master bedroom upstairs. This area is huge! The landing is big enough for a retreat lounge area and the ensuite is very generous opposite the full walk-in robe. At the end is the actual bedroom area with access out to a private balcony with an even slightly more elevated view of the mesmerizing vistas.
A carport is ideally positioned with covered access straight into the laundry area, which then leads you into the living. Another 2 cars can be garaged, with plenty of space left over for the workshop in the nearby shed. Here there is a concrete floor and power, making it a great addition for storage and garden toys.
There is so much on offer here and rarely does large acreage become available so close to the centre of Franklin. Franklin has a great community spirit and is known for its many eateries and river activities, such as rowing and sailing through the very popular Living Boat Trust. All this is literally on your doorstep.
