A world away from everyday life, yet just minutes from Devonport.
From the moment you arrive, there is a sense that you have stepped into another world entirely. Surrounded by elevated coastal native bushland, with an extraordinary connection to nature and a sense of history, this enchanting property unfolds with unexpected details, intriguing spaces and features that simply could not be recreated in a new build.
Set across approximately 6 acres and bordered on three sides by The Kelcey Tier Bushland Reserve, this is a truly special offering for those seeking privacy, tranquility and a lifestyle immersed in nature.
Yet, despite its wonderfully secluded feel, convenience is never far away. Feel worlds away while being just approximately 4 minutes’ drive to both Spreyton IGA and Devonport Homemaker Centre, and only 7 minutes to Devonport CBD.
The charming home is beautifully nestled amongst the forest, with living spaces thoughtfully designed to embrace the nature surrounding it. Windows frame the greenery beyond, natural light filters through the interiors and the changing landscape becomes part of everyday life, creating an almost seamless connection between indoors and out.
The sunny open-plan kitchen and dining area enjoys lovely natural light, with a sliding door providing easy access outdoors and water glimpses through the trees.
The truly unique lounge is a standout feature, showcasing beautiful King Billy and Oregon rafters and beams, adding warmth, character and a wonderful sense of rustic charm. A further sliding door connects this space to the outdoors.
Comfort is well catered for with both a heat pump and cosy wood heater, making this a welcoming retreat throughout the seasons.
Downstairs, a bathroom is conveniently positioned alongside a versatile multipurpose room, complete with laundry facilities and separate external access. This generous utility space presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a work-from-home setup, home office, creative studio or additional flexible living space.
Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, both enjoying lovely natural light, excellent storage and peaceful outlooks into the surrounding treetops. One bedroom features beautiful polished Myrtle floorboards, adding yet another touch of Tasmanian character.
Dormer windows and charming little nooks add to the upstairs appeal, while a second bathroom featuring a separate bath and shower provides additional convenience.
Adding to the home’s appeal is a spacious attic, accessed via a ladder and complete with timber flooring and lighting, offering valuable additional storage space.
Practicality hasn’t been overlooked, with a carport offering internal access to the home and room to accommodate up to two vehicles.
**Explore Your Own Private Bushland Sanctuary**
Step outside and discover established paths meandering through the beautifully maintained natural bush setting, with thoughtful little nooks along the way inviting you to stop, sit and soak up your surroundings.
One particularly special spot is affectionately known as “The Lookout”, where you can relax on the bench and take in glimpses of Bass Strait and the stunning coastline.
The grounds offer an abundance of practical features, including two garden/tool sheds and two woodsheds, currently stocked with stored dry firewood, with a plentiful supply of additional firewood available from the property.
For added peace of mind, extensive water points are located throughout the property to assist with bushfire suppression.
Those with a green thumb will appreciate the wire-caged fruit and vegetable garden, while two natural creeks wind their way through the property following rainfall, adding another lovely element to this beautiful bushland setting.
Nature lovers will be captivated by the abundance of native plants and wildlife, including plentiful birdlife, creating a wonderfully peaceful environment where you can truly reconnect with nature.
