Chimneys is a property for people wanting to reside in a Country Manor House not far from the airport, the excitement of Hobart and the beautiful East Coast of Tasmania.
Based on Georgian design and built on two levels, this unique 4-bedroom home is set looking out onto almost 28 hectares (67 acres) of fertile pasture.
Constructed of brick with superbly crafted sandstone Lintels and Cornerstones, the home faces due North to capture the sun, while the expansive wrap-around Bull-nose verandas provide shade and shelter from the wind in all directions.
Entry to the lower level is via a lovely paved Alfresco Dining Area which basks in all day sun and commands outstanding views over the gardens and farmland.
French doors open to a wonderfully light and airy dining room which has polished timber floor boards, an Enviro Pellet Heater which provides energy-efficient and clean heating of this and surrounding areas, and a convenient servery which connects dinner guests to the chef!
Timber dado boards grace the walls in this and many other areas, and Colonial glass timber windows provide glorious views of the property from every room of this impressive home.
The Classic Country Kitchen boasts loads of timber cupboards, self-closing drawers, over 5 metres of bench space and a majestic Belling double oven with induction cook-top.
The Larder is a room of its own with built-in timber storage, bench and extra sink, and leads to the veranda which provides access to the herb garden and wood shed.
Just opposite the kitchen, French doors lead to the formal Lounge which features an elegantly designed setting for a very effective Masport wood heater.
Next to the lounge is the Library, which houses an entire wall of handsome timber bookshelves.
A beautiful timber staircase leads to the upper level. This is actually the traditional front entrance to the home and is accessed from a very charming courtyard, beyond which is the garage with automatic roller door, workshop and storage room.
The master bedroom is very spacious, and a walk-through wardrobe/dressing area leads to the ensuite which features a gorgeous claw-footed bath and vintage fittings which are beautifully complemented by traditional brunswick green and white mosaic floor tiles.
Next door is a separate toilet, family shower room and cleverly “hidden” laundry.
Along the hallway are two more large bedrooms, each with built-in robes and beautiful views of the gardens and farm, while a fourth bedroom, which overlooks the front courtyard, is currently used as an Office.
Each of the bedrooms and the hallway have recirculated hot water panels for extra warmth as and when required.
Outdoors, there is a 5 metre prestige greenhouse, an orchard, veggie gardens, literally 100s of raspberry canes, a rose garden, ornamental and native gardens and mass plantings of bulbs.
Animal lovers will find a stable, a hen house and other useful sheds and fenced yards nearby, and would-be farmers will appreciate the 4-Bay machinery/hay shed, shearing shed and stock yards as well as the 5 permanent dams and winter creek.
The farmland is divided into 6 fenced paddocks (electric to 2 paddocks with the ability to run further) and is suitable for sheep, cattle, horses, alpacas and/or goats. The fertile soils are helped by the topography with well drained dry banks being complemented by heavier flat areas which stay green well into most summers.
This piece of paradise sits just 45 minutes from the airport and less than an hour from the centre of Hobart, while a leisurely 30 minute drive will take you to the sparkling blue waters and white sands of Tasmania’s pristine East Coast.
