One of the most magnificent positions near Cygnet, this is a unique 4-bed home set on 12 acres - a perfect balance of fenced pasture (about 6 acres), bush and fantastic permaculture gardens surrounding the house. With spectacular views and the ability to be self-sufficient, this is the place to be if you want to live in the Huon Valley.
Inside the house, there are garden views from every room and the space is full of colour, character and warmth. There are four bedrooms, or three and a sunroom/dining room, and two have built-ins. There is heaps of storage space and a walk-in pantry that is large enough to accommodate a double fridge roomily.
The lounge has a new wood-heater that is economical with wood, heats the entire house and also heats the water. At night, you can sit back and look straight ahead at the stars as they rise over Woodbridge Hill. It is magical! The room is painted with delightful colour and there is a bay window, beneath which is a stunning shell and tile mosaic mural.
Three bedrooms are carpeted and the rest of the house has wooden floorboards. The kitchen is fresh, with lots of bench space and cupboard space, and it is surrounded by a veranda. There is a conventional oven as well as a slow-combustion stove, and this cooks food to absolute perfection.
The hall and entrance both look out to a conservatory, which is a great place to grow tropical plants and allows for good heat and air circulation through the house. There is plenty of water storage capacity, plenty of rain to catch, and the water is heated via solar-thermal (as well as wood), which means there are no hot water bills.
The garden is truly divine, with meandering paths, fish ponds and many secluded nooks to sit. There is a wooden-fenced vegetable garden, glasshouse, garden sheds, hay shed and shade house. Within the vegetable garden, but fenced separately, is a chicken house. There are fruit trees (apples, apricots, nectarines, pears, figs, olives), nut trees, currants and berries, all set in park-like surrounds and chemical-free. It is impressive, functional and a blessed relief from the summer heat! Plus, there is a resident ring-tail possum family that are very cute......
Further, into the bush, there are paths winding past native orchids and large eucalypts (with enough available to cut down for your own firewood), and a campfire to sit around and contemplate the joys of living on the land! Then stand atop your very own hill, and watch the two wedge-tails that are residents of the valley soar as if just for you. They even come within a couple of metres of where you are, which is a real thrill! The position of this property is absolutely magnificent and it also sits above the fog line, which is a massive boon.
There is plenty of water available (3 tanks, 2 dams and bore), plus a ride-on mower and fire-fighting pump.
For extra accommodation, there is a gypsy wagon with double bed and wood-heater in the garden, and for craftspeople, a newly built celery-top pine studio/workshop that is also wood-heated.
The property is located 5 minutes from Cygnet, 10 minutes from Huonville and 40 minutes from Hobart. The Cygnet area has a vibrant arts community, choice of 3 schools, and plenty to do if that is your desire.
