This beautiful property offers an exceptional lifestyle on picturesque acreage – only fifteen minutes from Hobart! The land has been beautifully designed to create privacy, an appreciation of the beautiful plantings as well as impressive natural stands of native varieties, and all running down to a lush frontage to Browns River. There’s even a natural swimming hole – probably shared by the odd platypus! Birdlife and natural fauna abound. Great thought has gone into making this home solar-passive and heat-retentive. All windows are double-glazed, there is efficient insulation, and a large wood heater in the living area. Add to this four reverse-cycle heat pumps, and your year-round comfort is assured. Skylights throughout the house accentuate light and sun. The architect-designed residence is distinctive – its predominantly sandstone construction melding beautifully with its setting. Dramatic windows capture maximum sunlight because of the northerly aspect, and frame sylvan views in the main drawing room. Its soaring ceiling gives a fabulous feeling of space, combined with a wonderful sense of warmth. The dining area has great flow to the wraparound sundeck, conjuring up leisurely al fresco meals, with a stunning angled window and elegant cabinetry. A gorgeous second living room with an adjoining sunroom/conservatory makes a pleasurable informal room – the perfect place to entertain casually. Off here is a large living area currently used as a home office, but could be an additional living zone or rumpus. There are five bedrooms (two upstairs and three downstairs), a stunning ensuite bathroom to the main and built-in robes in all. The outbuildings include 2 huge work sheds for variable uses – the sheds have solar feeding back into the grid to keep power bills to a minimum. The acreage is divided into four paddocks, including verdant river flats, and is perfect for horse lovers. Town water ensures the land is maintained to its present standard. There is a back to base security system installed. The choice is yours – the hard work is done, and only waits for you to enjoy and appreciate it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a very special property – a beautiful home in a picturesque setting, five minutes from Kingston’s ever-growing amenities and fifteen minutes to Hobart’s CBD.
