Margate is a picturesque coastal town nestled along the shores of North West Bay, just south of Hobart. Its natural beauty, excellent local amenities, and proximity to Kingston have made it an increasingly popular choice for homebuyers seeking both lifestyle and convenience.
Recent commercial developments, including a new shopping centre and a range of business investments, highlight the area's rapid growth and popularity. Meanwhile, the region continues to see the establishment of new housing estates. While modern homes on standard blocks hold great appeal, larger allotments with more traditional residences offer a unique lifestyle opportunity.
8 Blackwood Grove is one such property.
This beautifully maintained brick-veneer home with a Colorbond roof offers a private and tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Set in a semi-rural location on a near-level 8,622-square-metre site (2.13 acres), the property is ideal for those seeking a country lifestyle without sacrificing urban convenience.
The home is thoughtfully positioned within its established gardens, creating a charming and welcoming approach via a driveway lined with cypress pines and deciduous plantings.
The single-vehicle garage, complete with a roller door, provides secure parking and internal access to the home. A hardstand parking area leads to the front door, which opens into an inviting entrance foyer with separate access to the two generous living areas.
Designed for both comfort and functionality, the residence features three well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The formal lounge and the open-plan kitchen/family room both enjoy a delightful connection to the surrounding gardens, enhancing the home's light-filled and spacious ambience.
The kitchen is well-appointed with ample worktop space, extensive storage, a pantry, a wall oven, and a cooktop, making it a practical and stylish centrepiece of the home. The adjoining family room features a large wood-burning stove, ensuring warmth and cosiness throughout the cooler months.
Both living areas open onto a full-length north-facing patio, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. There is in slab floor heating in the living areas and master bedroom.
A short hallway leads to the sleeping quarters, comprising three bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate adjacent WC, and a laundry. One of the bedrooms includes a built-in wardrobe, while the master suite offers an indulgent retreat with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room featuring a shower, vanity, and WC. The main bathroom is well-appointed with a separate shower, bath, and vanity.
A significant highlight of this home is the solar power system, complete with a Tesla storage battery, offering energy efficiency and sustainability.
The beautifully landscaped grounds are a haven for nature lovers. A garden shed and greenhouse cater to keen gardeners, while a discreet hedge conceals a hidden gem at the rear of the property-a productive orchard boasting a variety of fruit trees, including apples, cherries, quinces, apricots, lemons, and plums. From this tranquil setting, you can enjoy distant water views towards North West Bay.
A small paddock on the south side of the block would suit a wide range of purposes.
Located just minutes from Margate's shopping centre and popular primary school, the home is also close to the scenic Dru Point Parklands and boat-launching facilities. Kingston is a convenient 15-minute drive away, with public transport and school bus services easily accessible nearby. Hobart is approximately 30 minutes away.
Offering an idyllic blend of rural charm and modern convenience, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to secure a home in one of Tasmania's most desirable locations.
