Tucked away in its own native forest setting, this property offers fantastic privacy, yet is not too far from anything. The 17 acres is wonderfully set out. There is a large grass area cleared around the house allowing plenty of sun in and the remaining native forest property has many large cleared usable areas with further cleaned areas under the trees creating a park-like feel.
The house is an A-frame design on 2 levels. There is a large open plan living, dining and kitchen at ground level. The master bedroom with ensuite, study and laundry are also at ground level. Upstairs there is good usable space on the landing, which provides access to 4 bedrooms, a storage room and a central bathroom. This could easily be changed to be 2 large bedrooms instead of 4 smaller ones as may be required.
The chalet feel to the house provides a warm and homely atmosphere. The house beams and lining are all beautiful Tasmanian timbers and is fully insulated with pink batts. It is heated by a snug wood fire and complimented by a multi station underfloor heating system.
Down from the house, there is a superb set up with hot houses, garden & workshop sheds and fully automated electric enclosures for the most immaculately kept veggie gardens & fruit trees. There is a chook pen with chook house and plenty of good shaded open space for many other possible pursuits. There is a deep dam that comes with its own petrol pump, set up to send water to a large tank and strategic tap locations all over the property specifically for garden usage or fire fighting purposes. The pressure is enough to send a water jet right over the top of the house. The house design is in itself to significantly reduce fire risk, with the majority of the exposed part being the roof. This also enables easy access to the gutters, further useful when it comes to keeping them clean and clear of leaves, maintaining pristine rain water collection. There are 2 large tanks for rainwater which feed the house via gravity, thus providing significant power savings. The property is also on its own septic system providing further savings when it comes to paying rates.
This property is positioned up high out of the valley, well above the fog line. The access is quaint and charming as it winds in through the forest. Many moods are created with the change in seasons and change in weather. The wildlife is plentiful, including the many birds that often wash in the bird bath, positioned to get prime viewing from inside the house.
