Nestled quietly on a hillside in the idyllic hamlet of Hillwood, this characterful home offers sweeping views of the picturesque Tamar River, and a truly enviable lifestyle. Enveloped by rolling green hills, lush pastureland and quintessentially Tasmanian apple orchards, you could experience your very own “escape to the country” without having to forego the convenience of city life as Launceston is an easy 20 minute drive to the south. And, for those days when a sea-change, rather than a tree-change, is on the agenda- some of the best beaches in the country are a mere 20 minutes to your north!
Boasting a flexible floor plan, this family home has two spacious bedrooms on the ground floor; one with water views, and both have built-in robes and neat carpet underfoot. Upstairs, there is a third bedroom, which could be utilized as a second living area with a roomy balcony, where you can enjoy a glass of wine in complete privacy, and put the working day behind you as you indulge in the tranquility of your hillside hideaway.
Adjacent to the welcoming entry foyer, is the living room which features a rustic, exposed brick fireplace, timber-lined raked ceilings and picture windows that perfectly frame the vista beyond. An efficient Daikin air-conditioning unit ensures year round comfort inside. The nearby kitchen has easy access to an expansive deck which is ideal for entertaining family and friends, with the breadth of the Tamar River as your backdrop.
The generously sized bathroom offers a touch a luxury with its corner spa and twin vanity. There is also a separate powder room, for the convenience of guests.
Outside, the established garden features an artfully blended mix of native and exotic plantings, abundant with birdlife. There is a sizeable garden shed, with additional storage available under the deck, and plenty of off-street parking for the family car, and/or a boat or caravan.
Whether you’re looking for a weekender, a forever home, or contemplating an AirBnB project (STCA), this property has much to offer in an unbeatable location.
