If you are the type of person that likes something different, unique and something special that cannot be replicated anywhere, then this American Style timber home could be just what you have been looking for.
Designed and built by a European Builder, this home has had a lot of thought put into the position of the land, sun aspect, privacy and blends beautifully into the natural bush land. The owners who have been there since 2004 have enjoyed every minute of their lifestyle and are sad to go due to health problems and the need to downsize.
The home is an open plan design with high raked ceilings split over two levels, and offers 4 large bedrooms for a growing family. There is a huge bathroom with a claw foot bath and a lovely view of the ponies in the garden area. Also there is a beautiful powder room offering the second toilet.
The superb kitchen and large walk in pantry has recently been completed and is complimented by the natural timbers and polished floor boards.
The home is heated by a large wood fire, and a gas heater. The French doors that open out to the deck give a serene ambience of listening to the frogs croaking away in the nearby lily pond.
There is a very rustic old cabin on the land as well as a choice of multiple sheds. Some of these are temporary storage sheds and enclosures suited for the 3 ponies. These ponies are hand fed with hay most of the year and have various trotting tracks around the bush which makes for lovely walks on the land.
The water supply is endless and is the envy of many people. An underground spring high up the hill, gravity feeds down into two holding tanks and overflow into the frog pond. This amazing source of water tastes beautiful and has never dried up.
The owners have added a double garage and carport to the property since their purchase and this is council approved.
Maintenance outside is kept to a minimum with minimal introduced plants and garden beds. The wallabies are the natural lawn mowers but do not get a single blade whilst in competition to the ponies.
One of the loveliest aspects of living at 90 Watchorns Road is sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and listening to the myriads of bird calls and in the evening the possums come and sit for a while hoping for a small piece of cheese or cracker.
Commuting distance to Launceston CBD is approx. 25 minutes. School bus collects children nearby. Local Lilydale School offers kinder to grade10, is ten minutes away.
