Perched up on the bank overlooking the Huon River, this fabulous country property offers 50 acres or 20.19 hectares made up of lush pasture paddocks and the remainder under native Tassie forest. The farmhouse is spacious, with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as a study and library. Flooded with lovely sunlight, the rooms are all bright and spacious. There are views over the river from all the front rooms and over the land at the rear. Originally a cottage built in 1890, it is now a grand 2 level country home. Recently re-roofed and painted, there is nothing to do except move in and enjoy. The lounge is inviting with the wood fire set in a stone feature surround. Through to the kitchen, you get a true sense of country living. Complete with an optional wood-burning stove, which also heats your hot water when in use (electric back-up), there is also a separate walk-in butler's pantry and plenty of space to house a nice big dining table. A large covered deck frames the front of the house, a great spot to sit back and ponder the vista all while keeping an eye on your boat moored directly out in front. A 6x9m Colourbond shed is perfectly set-up as a workshop and a timber shelter is ideal for the wood, hay and tractor. A chook house, netted veggie garden and an array of mixed fruit trees will keep you and the family fed. The pastures are well fenced and currently stocked with sheep. You may want a cow or 2 or goats and a pig. Up the back, a gate opens up to a track that leads up into the woods. Here there is a multitude of wildlife and hours of exploring. The quaint historic riverside township of Franklin is just down the road, known for its vibrant community spirit. This really is a great package just waiting for you to enjoy.
