Less than five minutes away from the bustling town of Exeter in Tasmania with its great facilities is this gorgeous sandstone four bedroom residence on 71 acres of mainly cleared land which represents a true lifestyle property. Positioned 1.5 kilometres from the main highway on a private road there is a quietness that you can escape into. You could be the envy of all your friends.
Set in an elevated position on the property the house with its imposing sandstone walls and fascinating history looks out to the north east with views over most of the paddocks and in some spots views of the Tamar River.
The four bedrooms and two bathrooms are spread over two floors with access to the huge main bedroom and ensuite upstairs via a unique Blackwood staircase. There is enough additional space upstairs for an office, studio or gym. There is also a balcony for those private moments.
Downstairs the three bedrooms are all doubles with two built ins and the piece de resistance is the magnificent dining and lounge area with a huge fireplace for those winter nights. The practical kitchen sits right alongside the dining area and looks directly out over the garden area and a camellia hedge to the north.
The house has wide verandas on two sides to take in the lovely views of the extensive landscaped garden and to catch the afternoon sun all set off by the large flat lawn area complete with peacocks, peahens and native birds.
The land area of the property is divided into seven medium to large paddocks all with water. The soil varies from red loam through to grey/black sandy loam suitable for cropping and with enough elevation for a vineyard. Some paddocks have electric fencing and are suitable for containing horses.
Located close to the house, within easy walking distance is an Olympic sized quality dressage arena with a quartz base, ideal for the horse enthusiast or future Olympic champion.
In close proximity to the arena is a large service and maintenance shed (30 x 15 metres) containing three large loose boxes built out of substantial RHS galvanised steel which are all completely removable. There is sufficient dry storage area for feed and a horse float and adjoining this is a workshop, kitchen and mezzanine for further storage.
This is a complete package for the active family or keen horse enthusiast and is not to be missed. You snooze you lose.
