Perched up high in the hills of Mountain River, this amazing location takes full advantage of the vast expansive views of the Huon Valley. The vistas take in the rural pastures below, framed by the forested hills on either side with the Huon River in the distance and mountain ranges on the horizon. Consisting of 38 acres (15.65ha), fantastic privacy, an interesting split level home with solar set-up, a shed, multiple well-fenced paddocks, berries, hazelnuts, apples, veggie beds, and 300,000L of fresh water, there is a lot to love about this one.
Cleverly positioned right on the edge of the hill up high where the Wedge Tailed Eagles soar, the home is an interesting split level house with living spaces on the ground floor and middle level. A bedroom with ensuite and WIR is also located on this middle level. Either use this as the master bedroom or would make a great guest room if you choose to use one of the 2 bedrooms upstairs as the master. One has direct access to the main bathroom and both have extraordinary views with a full length balcony.
The rear access to the home is from the covered carport area and leads straight into the middle level of the home with a short set of stairs to the open plan lounge and kitchen. Whether you are upstairs or down here, the panoramic views are totally mesmerising. The kitchen is bright and fresh and comes with stone tops and lacquered cupboards for easy cleaning. The lounge has a free standing wood fire that provides a wonderful atmosphere and will keep you snug in the cooler months.
Off to the side is the covered entertaining. An outdoor wood fire and plenty of room for a huge table, makes this a great spot to entertain your friends and family right into the night. Out the front of the home is a flat grassy area, with a low maintenance garden that surrounds the house.
Positioned on the top of a hill means you need to collect as much water as possible, well is 300,000L enough? Yes, there is that much fresh water collected for use. Starting with a huge self collection tank, then shed tanks and the dedicated house tanks too. Down below, there is a great little dam that has its own pump feeding the drip irrigation to the newly planted hazelnut grove. There are also 30 apple trees.
The grid connected solar panels on the house provide 5.2kw and along with the heat-pump hotter system, your power bills will be around $450 per year. Self sufficiency continues with the 100 plus berries, veggie beds and chicken coop for your homegrown produce and farm fresh eggs for breakfast. The multiple fenced enclosures will allow you to have animals too.
If you are looking for plenty of space for privacy and room to spread out with lots to keep you occupied, and a spectacular view is not negotiable, then this one is definitely worth serious consideration. Please contact us for further information or to arrange a private viewing for yourself.
