Nestled under the brow of 'Mother Cummings Peak' and the awe inspiring Great Western Tiers World Heritage Area, is this 21 hectare (52 acres approximately) property, on two titles, and a mere 20 minute drive from Deloraine in the central north, or just on an hour from both Launceston or Devonport, that just has to be seen to be believed.
Sitting at an elevation of 600m above sea level, and with a 180 degree jaw dropping view and northern orientation out over rolling farm land, distant hills and the patchwork of Valley farm life and living way down below, you will feel like the master and keeper of all that lays before you. Towering forests of Myrtle, Silver Wattle, Blackwood, Stringy Bark, White gum and Giant Ash form a back drop and a kaleidoscope of ever changing colour and fragrance behind you. Full of tracks and trails that lead to a private Waterfall and further on into World Heritage protected areas, this is Tasmania at her finest.
The infrastructure is equally as impressive as its location. A one off, hand crafted alpine style lodge forms the main residence. Build from local sandstone on the lower level at a thickness of over half a metre, and selected local and imported timbers on the first level, this building will rival the very best of wilderness retreats in this great state. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, formal dining room, separate office, two large living rooms, and covered verandas on both levels that have numerous entry points from both living rooms and bedrooms. Recently refurbished to the highest standard, this building is as impressive as it is practical.
A separate cottage, also fully refurbished, sits privately in the gardens some 100 metres from the main building. Shining like a new penny, this wonderful property addition would have a number of uses for the discerning buyer, and is hard to fault in both design and presentation.
Park like gardens and ground surround the living areas of the property, and like the infrastructure are presented in outstanding condition. Sandstone feature walls and impressive landscape features are at every turn, and garden plantings, especially rhododendrons create spectacular floral shows amidst towering eucalypts through different seasons, truly impressive.
Add to this, under cover parking, grid interactive solar system, sealed driveway the complete 2.5kms in off the road, rustic lofted workshop that looks like it is straight out of a "movie set", wood and electric heating, and pristine mountain stream water in abundance, gravity feed to the complex- just to name but a few.
A true and rare find, this magnificent home, property and complex can only be truly appreciated in the flesh. Viewings are by appointment only with the exclusive agent Daryl Smith from Harcourts Meander Valley, or phone or email to be supplied with a floor plan of both the main building and cottage, I look forward to your enquiry.
