This superb character home in an enchanting rural setting is a perfect location for those with dreams of self-sufficiency, a hobby farm or idyllic and secluded rural retreat within easy reach of central Hobart.
Set on a generous 1.085-hectare parcel of land, this charming weatherboard home was built in 1914, but recent updates have resulted in an elegant and comfortable home that retains its country ambiance. Beautiful Tas oak floorboards and a pleasant neutral colour palette (to name a few) accentuate the home's rich history.
Spend summer days under the cool and shady verandah whilst enjoying the rambling leafy gardens, or cozy up inside around the wood fire in the winter months; this home is a paradise for those seeking peace and tranquillity, whatever the time of year. The sound of the ever flowing Myrtle Creek creates a relaxing vibe and ambiance all year round.
The open plan living area creates the heart of this beautiful home. The classic Tas oak kitchen has a dishwasher and storage in abundance. A wood fire and electric heating fills this space with a warm and comfy feel that will make you want to snuggle inside all day long. Plenty of natural light, a glorious rural vista and stunning vaulted timber ceiling gives the already spacious room an expansive feel.
The three bedrooms are generously sized, light and bright. An additional room which is currently used as a study would also make a lovely fourth bedroom with some small modifications. A family bathroom, separate toilet and a laundry can be found at the rear of the home.
Myrtle Forest Creek brings cool fresh water to the property, making your hobby farming aspirations - a prosperous orchard, vegetable gardens and happy, healthy animals - easy to maintain. There is also a water tank and a septic system - no more water bills! Numerous enclosures, outbuildings and pickers' huts provide ample space for workshops, storage and tinkering to your heart's content.
This property may be a secluded paradise, but with its location only 30 minutes from central Hobart, it is by no means isolated. The township of Collinsvale is only a five-minute drive away, with some services, local school and thriving community. For all your shopping needs and services, head to Glenorchy shopping precinct (only 15 minutes by car), where a bus interchange provides easy access throughout Hobart and surrounds.
This is a truly remarkable property and a rare opportunity to live an idyllic and secluded lifestyle, without an arduous commute. Mel will be delighted to show you around this charming and comfortable haven.
