French Inspired Masterpiece
This magnificent property offers 4.9 acres (2 ha) of beautifully manicured gardens with symmetrical low cut hedges and park-like grounds with strategically positioned deciduous trees and shrubs. The 2 story architectural home is built to resemble sandstone and has sweeping timber decks. There is a large semi-covered entertaining area that begs you to come out to enjoy. This comes off the main living, which offers an open plan design incorporating the lounge, dining and Tasmanian Oak kitchen. There are 3 separate zones. The main house has 2 or 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, an attached self-contained accommodation has another bedroom with bathroom and a separate studio or home office. All are positioned and designed to maximise the simply stunning panoramic views of the Huon River, the surrounding hills and the mountains beyond. From the air, you could be mistaken for flying over a chteaux in Europe. The gardens are well thought out, providing a visual impact, yet without requiring a huge amount of maintenance. Complimented with sweeping grassy land, a few vines, a veggie patch, some fruit trees and a large dam. The grand gated entrance to the property is from the rear, away from where the superb un-interrupted panoramic views are. The ever-changing scene will keep you enjoying the views year after year. Picture a typical calm autumn day with gorgeous colours in the garden and glistening reflections of the hills in the water, then a cool winter morning with snow on the mountain and mist gently rolling out over the still water. A spring afternoon with lime-green pastures, pretty blossoms and a contrasting blue sky also reflecting in the river. Or picture a captivating summer evening with the sky all lit up with a golden, red sunset as you sit back on the deck with a glass of wine. Brilliantly designed, there is a view from just about every room. There are French doors that open out to the decks and sweeping timber floors throughout. This home is bright and spacious, yet maintains a snug and homely feel. The tree different living zones made up of the house, the accommodation and the studio are very practical to say the least. The main house comprises of the open plan living, a spacious bedroom with walk-in robe and own bathroom, all on the ground floor. Up the stairs there is another bedroom with own bathroom and a sitting area that could be another bedroom. Across the deck, the attached self-contained accommodation has its own lovely French doors that open out from the open plan living room. The kitchenette is functional and there is a double bedroom and a bathroom. The separate studio is built to match the house and is perfect for many uses. Whether you need a rumpus room, a teenager's retreat, an artist studio or a place to set up a spacious home office, this space will prove invaluable. A substantial area is gravelled for ease of vehicular manoeuvring, big enough to turn around with a boat or caravan and a double garage provides internal access. Self sufficiency is guaranteed with your own rainwater tanks collecting around 45,000L and an environmentally friendly septic system that was well ahead of its time. Fully fenced around the property and around the house & gardens, there is a separate paddock perfect for a few sheep or alpacas too.
