Set on an amazingly diverse 29.6 acres (12ha), this property is very special. Apart from the 1974 home set on 2 levels with an open plan living, 3-4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property itself has a lot on offer. There are gorgeous mature gardens with some of Tasmania's rarest plants that include Huon Pines around a beautiful dam complete with its own island, jetty and resident platypus.
A fantastic walk leads right up a classic rocky creek that forms the north western boundary. It is white water stuff in winter and a swimming waterhole for the summer. The walk leads back into the property through an established pine forest complete with classic red and white speckled toadstools, just like in fairyland. The transition between the pines and the native bush was once the old tram line which used to carry timbers out of the forest. Now the line is gone, but this fantastic piece of history still appears on the property title.
The bush offers a vast array of native vegetation and beautiful towering gums. There is a massive selection of wildlife here including wombats, quolls, echidnas, platypus, wallabies and even devils as well as a ridiculous number of bird species. Continue the walk back to the dam (more like a small lake) and be rewarded with the stunning garden setting that wraps around the lake and the house.
Up the eastern side of the property is where the farm is. Lush, gently undulating pastures provide an ideal setting for horses or maybe you'd like to run some sheep or a few head of cattle. Up here there is a hay shed come stables and tractor shelter. The fruit tree enclosure is back near the house. Be further self-sufficient and grow your own veggies and keep some chickens.
Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with a central bathroom. Also up here is the main living with an open plan lounge, dining and galley kitchen. There is a wood fire to keep you snug all year round and the covered deck provides a cool place to sit back with a drink on a summers day. Downstairs there is another bedroom and bathroom, with 2 other rooms that could be bedroom 4 and 5 otherwise great storage space.
Positioned just south of Dover, you will have all your basic services close by, such as supermarket, doctors and school. Dover has family safe beaches that line Port Esperance Bay. This bay is not only visually beautiful with its white beaches and islands, but also provides great boating and fishing.
Overall, this property is a real surprise, please contact me for further information or to arrange an inspection to discover it all for yourself.
