Glaziers Bay TAS 7109

Wonderfully tucked away, this property enjoys complete privacy. Located near the shores of the Huon River Estuary, there are views of the river through the trees from the unique and mostly original 1970s home, which has been cleverly positioned on the 16 acres (6.556ha). Consisting of a beautiful undulating landscape, this is an incredibly picturesque property. The most amazing feature would have to be the lake. That's right, it is a lake more than a dam, which holds approximately 250 million litres of fresh water. You are able to walk around the whole perimeter of the lake, passing by pastures, tall gums and ornamental trees. The lake is fed by springs that keep it looking full all year round. Can you picture yourself popping in for a swim in the summer months or kayaking its full length?

Up on the hill near the home, there are small vineyards of Pinot Noir. Apart from adding to the visual splendour of the property, there is enough to make your own wine and provide you with joy throughout the year as you tend to the vines. A 12m x 7.5m shed with foam insulation also houses a large cool room with extra thick insulation for the wine to be stored. This is also a great spot to store the fruit collected from the scattered fruit trees around the house. There are Apples, Pears, Cherry, Olives, Mulberry and Lemon trees to name a few. Off the shed, there is a massive covered area, providing fantastic shelter for the tractor, implements and the cars. A few other small sheds are also very practical. A short stroll to the edge of the property takes you to a clever deck that sits up high on the bank enjoying the views right up the Huon River, the surrounding hills and the Wellington Range up the end. This is a great spot to watch the sun setting as it floods the hills in a golden light.

The house itself is unique and intriguing. Consisting of a large open plan living, dining and kitchen. Perched up on the upper level provides great views through large picture windows all around the property, the river and even of the neighbouring vines of Elsewhere vineyard. Advanced for its time, the windows in the living area are all double-glazed and the space is kept snug with an off peak wall heater. There is a lovely sense of space with sunlight streaming in through the windows. Up here there are 2 bedrooms with a family bathroom and access to full-length balcony verandahs on two sides. Underneath there is another bedroom with the laundry/toilet, which could be made into an ensuite. The 2 levels are connected with a spiral staircase in the entry foyer. Down at ground level below another deck is a great place to sit back and watch the birds go about their daily activities whilst sipping on a cup of tea. A huge sunroom provides fantastic space to entertain your guests, allowing for the feeling of being outside whilst being completely under cover.
