Tucked away within 104 acres, this property offers amazing seclusion and an abundance of space to spread out. The acreage is mostly your own personal native forest to explore, with around 8 acres of cleared land. Just out of the vibrant cultural centre of Cygnet, the Coast Rd lines the shores of the Huon River Estuary, a picturesque 10 minute drive to the property. On entering, you are welcomed by beautiful tall gums that tower over you as you wind up the driveway past a large fresh water supply. A couple of hundred meters in, you pop out into the huge clearing where the house and a studio/workshop sits in the middle of the pastures.

The home is a country residence with a full length front verandah. A sliding door provides direct access from the open plan living, dining and kitchen, straight out to the verandah. To the side there is a practical mudroom entry, a great place for your coats and farm boots. This leads into the kitchen area. The kitchen spreads right around the edges providing loads of bench space and storage and creates a large space in the middle ideal for a big country table. There is a conventional cooktop and oven as well as a classic wood-burning stove. Down the hallway takes you to 3 good sized bedrooms and a central bathroom. The back bedroom has a wood fire and makes for a fantastic 2nd living area, currently also the home office.

This is a property that will keep on giving and allows you to be as self-sufficient as you wish. Currently, 6 solar panels help with the power bills. Set-up your veggie patches, fruit trees and keep chickens to have fresh eggs every morning. There is extra tall fencing around the house area with a second fenced area off to the side. This property was once an emu farm. There are several dams on the property, one is up the paddock, making it ideal to gravity-feed back to the house area. There is a tap on the house from the dam already to go. The house collects the rainwater and pumps up to the main concrete holding tank that then gravity feeds back to the house. Nearby, there is a quaint studio that could be turned into accommodation, otherwise great for the budding artist to escape to. Currently it is used as storage and a workshop.
