Surrounded by cottage gardens on 5 acres this "picture book" cottage features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with a cosy wood heater. The textured character of the walls comes from the 9-inch mud bricks that provide great insulation for year round comfort. The large deck at the front of the cottage is the perfect space to enjoy glorious sunsets and the bird's songs nesting in the trees. The two bedrooms have privacy situated on separate levels, with the ground level bedroom featuring a built-in robe and garden view. The generous mezzanine bedroom has its own living space and exclusive balcony plus plenty of storage. The light-filled bathroom has a separate shower and bath with additional laundry facilities. A good-sized double garage with a workshop area and circular drive make this a versatile property for permanent living or a weekender with storage for fishing rods and beach toys. This property has a lot to offer right on the fringe of Eaglehawk Neck, close to public boat ramps,10 minutes from Port Arthur, and just over 1 hour to Hobart.
