This unique property beautifully marries vintage charm with modern comforts, creating an idyllic retreat for those seeking tranquillity and the embrace of nature.
As you approach 'The Willows', the stunning facade of this classic farmhouse greets you with open arms. Its weatherboard construction stands as a testament to its rich history, while the expansive wrap-around verandah invites you to relax and soak in the picturesque views of the majestic river, framed by the historic township of Franklin and the lush surrounding landscapes.
Step inside, and you'll be welcomed by original hardwood floors that lead you through two inviting living areas, three cozy bedrooms, and a sunroom filled with light. Each room reflects the timeless elegance of the farmhouse's design, where original period details have been lovingly preserved. The kitchen is a delightful blend of old and new, featuring an original open fireplace hosting a Steel wood heater with a pot hanger that whispers stories from the 1800s, complemented by a modern Belling oven and cooktop for your culinary adventures.
Venture outside to discover an outdoor paradise that amplifies the property's appeal. The near-level land is adorned with multiple fenced paddocks, perfect for livestock, with one entirely vermin-proof and ready for vegetable production. Tall stands of native Tasmanian gums provide excellent shelter during winter, while the expansive grounds offer countless opportunities for gardening, outdoor activities, or simply revelling in nature's beauty.
The gardens are nothing short of magnificent, boasting an abundance of fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, potting areas, and greenhouses that have thrived as market gardens. A tranquil pond and dam enhance the charm, creating a serene backdrop for relaxation. Picture yourself unwinding in a gazebo, perfect for quiet mornings or peaceful afternoons.
