Acreage sets benchmark

THE sale of this Cambridge acreage has been called a dream come true. No.8 Kadina Rd fetched $2.25m, which set a new high price for this Hobart Eastern Shore suburb.

Homelands Property agent Kim Symmons, who has worked in real estate for 21 years, said the sale was a career highlight.

“All I have ever wanted was to get the Acton or Cambridge highest price, due to the fact I grew up in the area and have so much love and appreciation for it,” she said.

“The new purchasers are local and a gorgeous family that are looking forward to the lifestyle.”

Mrs Symmons said the 5.43ha property started on the market at “Offers over $1.85m” but later an asking price of “Offers over $2.2m” was established to not waste the vendor’s or a potential purchaser’s time.

“It was satisfying to find the perfect buyers who just love the lifestyle that is on offer. It really was a fairytale sale,” she said.

No.8 Kadina features a fourbedroom home on 13 acres of fenced pasture and gardens with stunning Coal River Valley views.

From every aspect of this lightfilled house, the outlook is outstanding.

The house has three-bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite and a gorgeous balcony.

The kitchen has a gas cooktop, electric oven, zip tap, integrated fridge and freezer alongside ample bench and storage space with soft touch drawers and cupboards.

In the cooler months, a large wood heater warms the living area where the floor-to-ceiling windows offer uninterrupted views.

Outside, there is a double and a large storage shed.

Per realestate.com.au, Cambridge’s next highest sale after No.8 Kadina was a 6.4ha property at No.80 Backhouse Ln, which was sold in March this year for an undisclosed sum.

The third highest was a modern marvel at No.9 Alliance Dr, which fetched $1.76m in May last year.
