Franklin TAS 7113

What a spot this is, truly above it all sitting at 450m up in the hills, yet only minutes to the historic riverside town centre of Franklin. Comprising of 9 acres (3.647ha), there is a perfect mix of pasture and native Tassie forest with tall gums and ferns to discover. Set-up to be self-sufficient, the solar system will keep your bills down whilst you enjoy your homegrown produce and fresh farm eggs.

The well insulated, low-maintenance home, offers a lovely open plan living and kitchen area that looks straight out over the covered entertaining, through to the alpine-like views straight down the valley and to the hills on the other side. The kitchen is a real focal point, complete with reconstituted granite work surfaces, a new dishwasher, a multi burner gas cooktop and a clever, fully integrated, concealed fridge, maintaining a slick modern look.

A wood heater with clever wood storage will keep you cozy in the cooler months, when you will get beautiful snowfalls several times lasting a few days each time, transforming the property into a wonderland. There is also a reverse cycle air-conditioner to keep you comfortable all year round. Off to the side is the dining with its own views over the grounds through plantation shutters. There are 2 bedrooms at this level, both with BIRs and also fitted with plantation shutters framing the gorgeous views. The family bathroom comes with a lavish free-standing bath as well as the separate shower.
