Comprising of just shy of 50 acres (19.98ha) of prime, improved rolling pastures, all with impressive views over the mighty Huon River and to the mountains beyond, this property has some serious appeal. The gorgeous farmhouse was first built in 1916 and still boasts many original features including sweeping verandahs, extra high ceilings, all with individual pressed tin, timber floors throughout, sash windows and multiple fireplaces. 2 huge sheds also have old timber apple barn features and total 370m2. A separate cottage is completely self-contained and also overlooks the Huon River. Multiple dams are more like lakes full of fresh water, linked and piped to the paddocks and taps around the house. All this in a peaceful rural environment.
The pastures are in great condition with good fencing over the majority of the property. The views are to die for. The gentle continued elevation ensures you maintain a view of the river and mountains from the front of the property right through to the back with some very impressive sections. There are 3 large dams and 2 smaller ones. Each provide a fantastic water source and add great visual appeal too.
The main residence is grand with a lot to like. The features are mostly original with a new roof and works done on the plumbing, electrics and underneath as well to ensure the home is structurally sound. Now for the personal touches. The kitchen is ready for the upgrade you want, maybe spruce up the bathroom and the reset is your choice of decor. This grand old lady was never ruined and will definitely appeal to the purists.
The separate cottage is at the opposite end of the frontage to the property. It has its own access and sits proud up on the bank enjoying beautiful views over the River. The reflections of the surrounding hills provide a romantic atmosphere and a calming mood all at the same time. This cottage offers 2 bedrooms, an open plan living with kitchen and bathroom facilities. This makes for great extra separate accommodation for visiting friends and family.
The sheds are massive and were once used for the apple orchard on the property. The main shed is a classic timber barn packed with character and loads of charm. Totaling 370m2 under roof, there is more than enough space here for whatever your shed requirements may be. This property is ideal for the farmer wanting to either run animals or establish crops or look at options with taking it back to orchards. The picturesque nature of the property also lends itself to considering the development of a tourism venture (stca) either on a large scale or simply a few extra cottages (stca) for a leisurely lifestyle choice.
Located alone one of the most sought after strips along the Huon River, this one is one of the more impressive properties with the position, beautiful usability of all of the undulating land and the sheer size on offer. The cultural center of Cygnet is just over the hill around 10 minutes by car with the hub of the Valley at Huonville only 15 minutes. The Hobart CBD is 45-50 minutes. The Huon Valley in home to some great natural produce and this area in particular has vineyards, a saffron farm, The Gourmet Farmer's farm is nearby and even a goat's cheesery is around the corner.
