Positioned at the end of a quiet country lane, is this perfect country property where you are greeted by towering deciduous trees over the sealed driveway making a perfect entrance to this perfect property in Tasmania's picturesque Huon Valley.

Offering 24 acres of perfect pasture dotted with mature gum trees and 780m of Mountain River frontage, this beautiful property sits on a large bend in the river and ticks all of the boxes for your perfect rural or agricultural property lending itself to many lifestyle and farming opportunities with a 22.5 megalitre water licence, all day sun, and most of the land being plantable.

Positioned at the top of the riverbank the 4 bedroom tuscan style block home features timber windows and doors throughout and offers views to the river and the gardens from every room, the open pergolas feature established wisteria draped in purple flowers, and views to the paddocks, hills and gardens. Each of the four bedrooms offer built in wardrobes, and the master bedroom features a spacious walk-in robe and is thoughtfully separated from the other bedrooms in the home. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with gas cooking and a dishwasher, seamlessly flowing into the expansive open-plan living area. Large windows frame picturesque views of the lush green surroundings and allow an abundance of natural light to fill the space.

The home includes two bathrooms, with the main bathroom featuring both a shower and a bath. Additionally, there's a separate laundry and powder room, along with a utility/mudroom perfect for farm life and additional storage.

The triple carport offers covered direct access to the house, ensuring you stay dry on less-than-sunny days and is located only a few steps from the kitchen for the convenience of unloading your groceries.
A stroll through the paddock from the garden leads to the river, where some areas are deep enough for a refreshing swim, fish or kayak on your own property from end to end. Alternatively, you can relax with a picnic as the river flows gently by and enjoy the tranquil sounds of the water running by. Atop of the small embankment overlooking the river flat is a great campsite where the owners have dual outdoor fire baths and town water installed where they have enjoyed many years camping.

The lawns surrounding the house are fully fenced perfect for children and animals and the gardens feature, many olive trees, a fig, roses, daffodils and a vast array of deciduous European trees that provide a great colourful canopy and also allow in the winter sunlight to the home and open up the views to the snow capped mountains in the winter months.

The fertile pasture has been rested from animals for the past 5 years and the current owners have practiced natural pasture management for the past 12 years since purchasing the home with no sprays or fertilisers used in that period. Livestock previously ran on the property including Highland, beef and dairy cattle, babydoll sheep, milking goats, pigs, chickens and more.

A 12x8m shed features high ceilings and front and rear vehicular access making it perfect for tractors, caravans, boats or a great workshop and is nicely tucked away behind the trees from the house yard. There is a large geodesic dome that was originally used for breeding doves and would make a great enclosed veggie patch or outdoor animal enclosure. The paddocks feature electric fencing while the river has been left unfenced.
