Last Listing description (March 2021)

Perched up high in the hills of the quaint riverside town of Franklin, this dual titled property has a lot of appeal and will provide you with the ability to provide sustainable living. The elevation allows for some amazing vistas up and down the Huon River, a dominating view over the township, the rolling rural pastures and the hills that surround. Consisting of a total of 9 acres (3.72ha), the chalet style home is surrounded by lovely gardens and fenced pastures. Here there is permanent water, and a smart Tesla Wall off grid system, that then feeds into the grid when generating excess power.

The home is very quaint with that classic Western Red Cedar Chalet character. There is a large deck with French doors from the lounge and the entry with a small pool just off the front and a covered patio for entertaining guests off to the side, all overlooking the crazy views on offer. Wandering through the gardens there are vegetation windows that frame perfect pictures such as yachts on the river or the old timber barn.

As you arrive at the property there is a double garage with remote roller doors. Attached is a fully lined room ideal as the exercise room and on top, up the stairs takes you to a spacious loft. Great as a second living space or as is currently, a home office complete with wireless NBN. This is a very versatile garage that adds fantastic extra usable space to the main home.

Inside, the home oozes country charm. The dining is overlooked by the kitchen, complete with quality appliances. From the dining you step into the sunken lounge. From here the views get invited into the room as does the pretty garden. Here there is a Jotul Scandinavian wood heater that provides a wonderful atmosphere and warmth for the cooler months.

The main bedroom is a spacious loft room with an intriguing roof-line, along with 2 other bedrooms, each with dormer style windows and the central bathroom off the landing. A 4th bedroom is located on the lower level with the laundry and separate second toilet and shower. Overall this home is interesting with different levels and plenty of character.

Out the back, there is the most impressive fruit tree and veggie enclosure. Professionally constructed by the local Cherry net people, this netted enclosure will protect your produce from all the wildlife. Fully irrigated with an electronic controller, this is easy gardening. To complete the self-sufficiency, there is the solar system with a Tesla Wall power storage as well as grid connect. This system will negate any requirement for grid power and instead feed extra power in for a credit.

The chicken coop is next to the shed and workshop and down the front there is the most idyllic old apple barn, ripe and ready for your next renovating project. The property has no shortage of water, with multiple tanks for rainwater collection. Another tank is fed by a constant water source and down near the barn, the dam is spring fed, providing further permanent water. Down the front of the house there is a hay paddock and a sheep paddock to the side links in with the back paddock.

This is a property with many surprises. All the things we talk about doing, the current owners have done. Please contact us for further information, or to arrange a private viewing.
