Last Listing description (August 2024)

Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of North West Tasmania, this property offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. You will fall in love with the timeless charm of this elegant historic home and the serenity of the sustainable, off-grid lifestyle it offers.

Tucked away behind a flourishing Hazelnut orchard, this 2.094-acre (approx.) estate provides a sense of space and seclusion with panoramic views of rolling fields, lush forests and sparkling ocean glimpses. Wake up to the sound of birdsong and breathe in the crisp, fresh air as you soak in the tranquility of your surroundings and connect with the simple things in life.

Imagine mornings spent sipping coffee on the north-facing deck, days pottering in your organic garden, evenings by the open fire, and weekends enjoying BBQs with friends on the patio.

Offering generous proportions for living, relaxation and entertainment, the spacious interiors include 5 bedrooms, ample storage and separate spaces to unwind.

Inside, the bright light-filled rooms of this beautifully preserved 1920's home boast all the character and hallmarks of historic architecture with high ceilings, large windows, cathedral glass, and hardwood floors, along with practical farmhouse amenities such as a mud room and extra-large laundry.

The large country kitchen features stunning north-facing views from the dining area with double-glazed sliding doors to access al-fresco dining on the large sundrenched deck. A beautiful Reyburn slow-combustion wood stove offers a convenient and efficient way to cook, heat, and provide hot water to the home during the cooler months, while the electric oven and gas cooktop ensure versatility throughout the year. A heat pump also gives the convenience of heating at the touch of a button. The walk-in pantry provides plenty of storage room in addition to ample timber cabinetry.

The adjoining separate lounge has an open fireplace and access to a sunroom that wraps around the front of the house. The sunroom, adorned with purple cathedral glass, offers serene valley and distant ocean views and acts as a solar trap in winter and a ventilation for the house in summer.

The spacious bathroom boasts a luxurious claw-foot bath, timber vanity, separate shower, and bidet toilet seat.

Outside, you'll find a BBQ patio area perfect for entertaining, a carport, single garage, wood shed, storage containers and accommodation for chickens. Your chickens can range free among the established fruit trees and the irrigated Hazelnut orchard with fences protecting the house garden and organic vegetable patch.

The property is connected to mains power but has been updated and equipped to support self-sufficient living with solar panels, wind generator, and battery storage. A reliable water supply is provided by multiple rainwater tanks and groundwater bore. The property is also in close proximity to public water infrastructure should the new owner wish to pursue that option.

Whether you envision hobby farming, gardening, or outdoor entertaining, there's endless potential to further customize this property to suit your needs.

Conveniently located to support all your lifestyle goals, this unique property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Don't miss the opportunity to own this rare blend of historic charm, and modern self-sufficiency.
