Geeveston TAS 7116

Located just on the edge of the quaint township of Geeveston, and up a no-through-road street, there is a lot to love about this home. Set on a manageable 643m2 within a lovely garden setting, the 1961 home has plenty of country charm both inside and outside. At the rear an entertaining deck creates an ideal transition from the home to the garden, a great spot to entertain friends and family or to sit back at the end of the day listening to the tweet of the many visiting birds. An enclosed carport and workshop is currently used as the potting and garden shed for the amazing garden setting, which has a gazebo with a climbing blue Wisteria. A real bonus is the 36 solar panels on the roof that will all but remove the worry of rising power costs.

Designed to be a garden of interest, providing private sitting spots and relaxed meandering amongst an array of different ornamentals and natives with year round flowers, it is also an edible garden. There is a huge range of different fruit fruit trees, most are espaliered, maximising space and ease of maintenance. Including Apple, Plums, Pears, red Goji berries, Black Cherries, Peaches, Nectarines and an Apricot tree. There are 3 Varieties of Fig, a Cumquat tree and 2 small Lime trees as well as Juniper berries and cold tolerant Avocado. If that isn't enough, there are also Raspberries, Blueberries, thornless Blackberry, Redcurrant, Blackcurrant and Strawberries. Veggie beds are ready for your own home grown produce too.

Particular care has been given to the front yard as well, focusing on privacy and hardy plants, yet providing year-round interest with flowers in bloom. Beside the path to the front door and the sealed driveway, there is a shallow bed covering what was a rectangle of concrete, previously used as a car parking spot, should that be required to be reinstated.
