Tucked away in behind the township of Port Huon up a small country lane, this home will provide you with good privacy, great views over the neighbouring pastures and the Huon River, as well as an interesting designer home. The house offers open plan living with timber-lined vaulted ceilings that create a soft warm atmosphere as well as an interesting design. Large picture windows allow plenty of light to flood into the spaces and provide a great connection with the outside. Glass doors open out to the sundeck, a great place to take in the water vista.
Consisting of just under half an acre (1934m2), there is plenty of space to spread out. A workshop in the bottom yard with a lean-to provides good practical shelter and storage. Mostly easy-care lawns, there is room for fruit trees, a veggie garden and chickens. Be as self-sufficient as you'd like. Up on the roof, the solar system will add to your sustainable living, reducing your power bills in the winter months from the credits created in the summer.
The intriguing artisanal shape and the use of vertical timbers has created an interesting, natural and warm look to the home, that will continue to age gracefully from the browns to the silvery greys with time. Alternatively, a quick sand back and oil will provide an enriched timber look, the choice is yours. Set on multiple levels, there is nothing standard about this fascinating building.
Up on the top level is the main house, offering a bedroom, ensuite and main living, dining and kitchen. The bottom level, off to the side is a separate joined unit, here there is a large living/bedroom, with another ensuite. Great for the elderly parent or teenagers retreat, or ideal visitor accommodation for visiting friends and family. A shared laundry space is also great as a utility room. From this area, there is access to the garage too.
Port Huon has a mix of residential homes and rural lifestyle properties. This one will provide you with the best of both worlds. Not too much land too look after, but the feeling like you are on acres. There is a traditional Trading Post nearby for your basic needs and takeaways. The Kermandie River Hotel is a great spot for a pub meal and overlooks the marina. Next to that is the sports centre, complete with indoor heated pool.
Down the road is the quiet country town of Geeveston, offering caf?s and even a wine bar. In the other direction only 15-20 minutes away is the main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville. Here you will find all your major shops and services. Hobart is accessible well within an hour.
