Forest Retreat
Embraced by lush Tasmanian forest is this spacious, solid craftsman built home. Built in 1995, it has 3 large bedrooms and spacious living areas which afford its new owner or owners a tranquil and comfortable escape from the wilds of the modern world, but still only 15 minutes from George Town, a seaside town embracing a blend of Tasmanian history with the conveniences of a modern town. All this and more. The local school bus passes the property destined for George Town and Launceston. The Pipers River General Store only 6 km away provides postal and newsagent services as well as fuel and general produce.
From the moment you leave the passing road you are enticed along a forest lined driveway to then be greeted by a haven surrounded by Tasmanian ferns and established gardens.
Set back well from the road you will listen to the birds call and the breeze in the tree tops reply. The circular drive delivers you to a court yard surrounded by nature and reveals your new home with separate double garage and plenty of parking for all those visitors who can't believe how lucky you were to find such a wonderful place to live.
In your new home you will have all the mod cons, walk-in robe in the master bedroom and built-ins in the other bedrooms. A large family bathroom, separate laundry with direct access to the back veranda, and a modern kitchen with large breakfast bar and a great walk-in pantry - and yes you can go into the pantry and close the door behind you.
The property is 20 acres. The house is boarded by fenced enclosures for the vegetable garden and chickens, or any other small domestic critters that takes your fancy. There are bird aviaries, garden sheds, a wood shed - Oh did I forget to say it has a great wood heater for those famous Tassie winter nights. The back garden is fenced so our little four legged family members have somewhere safe to play. There is a water bore with pump and plumbed to taps strategically placed around so the gardens can always look great and the home is serviced by freshly captured Tasmanian rain water. The majority of the block is native forest with some secondary growth and a winter creek passing through. The topography is flat to a gentle slop towards the rear.
Whether you spend your days at home or have a busy week and look forward to the weekend in your retreat this will certainly capture the imagination.
