Welcome to one of the most impressive small holdings in the Huon Valley. This enchanting 3 bedroom 2 bathroom timber cottage is surrounded by a timeless garden, which is accessed from the house across classic flagstone paving.
Take a stroll down the many winding paths, past some of the gardens established deciduous trees to see spectacular autumn colour, including a bright yellow Golden Ash and numerous Acers, which bring their bonfire colours to the landscape. Broad brushstrokes of colours are displayed in ingenious ways in the front perennial border, which takes in views of the Huon River, and comprise a series of repeat plantings of Penstemon, Salvias and Agapanthus. The ornamental plant list in this garden is extensive and varied and features classics such as Camellias and Rhododendrons, but also contains rare specimens such as Irish Strawberry Trees and species Viburnums. All of these plants are set off by the sinuous curves of dry stacked sandstone walls, and most of the beds have permanent irrigation with timers in place. To top off the outside there are raised vegie-beds, compost heaps, a potting shed and chicken house in a fully fenced enclosure. A large 3 bay garage and workshop and the 3.1ha pasture is divided into 3 paddocks.
The home has been up-graded significantly in recent years, all the windows are now double-glazed and have fly screens fitted. The outside and roof have been recently repainted, and inside the floor coverings and most of the window treatments have been replaced.
