5 Britcliffes Lane, Port Huon, TAS 7116

Elevated just above the tranquil waterways of the Kermandie River where it opens out into the bay at Port Huon in the picturesque Huon Valley, sits this once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase this unique property. Family owned for over a century, this dream waterfront parcel of land is positioned on the Western side of this small peninsular at the end of Britcliffes Lane and has never before been offered to the market.

As you enter the property turning off the Huon Highway you will feel a sense of calmness and seclusion whilst travelling the tree lined driveway down towards the water's edge, instantly you will be entranced by the panoramic water views overlooking the Port Huon marina and the often snow capped Hartz Mountains above the Kermandie River. From the roadside, around the home and most of the Northern half of this beautiful property are dotted with established deciduous trees that include, Maples, Oaks, Elms, Gleditsias and many more that offer splashes of varied colour from Spring to Autumn and set the property off as soon as you enter, cleverly established to create a parkland feeling over the property the point and Southern side offers native gums, grasses and shrubs contrasting to the European feel of the Northern side.

A colorbond boat shed and adjacent slipway/jetty is licensed with Parks & Wildlife Tasmania and provides a great access point to the river for coming ashore and launching off to go fishing. There are also the rail remnants of a steel slipway on the Southern end of the point, a historic small bluestone quarry and great places to position a second dwelling subject to approvals to make use of the second title either in its current shape and location or via boundary adjustment subject to relevant approvals where you could explore the options of the future development.

The land mostly slopes back toward the North West from the highest point which sits around 2/3rds of the way out toward the point and the home is positioned in a sheltered position looking over the marina and offers 3 to 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. As you walk into the house you enter a glorious conservatory space, perfect to entertain or soak in the sun rays while taking in the majestic surrounding water views. The home provides a central living area, off to one side you will find the separate dining, kitchen, bathroom, laundry and mudroom and to the other leads to the 3 spacious bedrooms and a study. The home is kept comfortable all year round by a wood fire, reverse cycle air conditioner and panel heaters.

Additionally, on the North side of the home, there is a wonderful partly enclosed timber decking, which steps down to the sun deck, this offers a great space for further living and another location to sit and enjoy the pleasing established gardens that surrounded the home.

Continuing outside the pasture land has multiple timber outbuildings that are in keeping with the original home including a 3-car carport, a storage shed and a workable garage and workshop, plus there are also multiple paddocks that are fenced and are perfect for produce and livestock. The strip of crown reserve land wrapped around the front boundary making the property feel so much more extensive. The water's edge provides you easy access to the boat shed, the grassy foreshore along the point and is ideal for those whom like to fish, kayak or even swim from your own backyard where the family have enjoyed growing up doing just that for generations.

The home dates back well over a century when it had a second story and much smaller ground floor footprint which now encompasses the bedrooms in the front section of the home. Having been part of a much larger land holding that was a large part of Port Huon this is the last remaining parcel from the original family land holding. Having held many zonings in the past where further development was possible the current Rural zoning that this and the adjacent property hold are quite unique for Port Huon where the surrounding land over the highway in every direction offers village or residential zonings begging the question of what might one day again be possible in this unique position.
