Home on the range

-

LOSEyourse­lf in the beauty and wonder of this picturesqu­e rural retreat, located a mere 20 minutes from Hobart.

Even before you reach the main homestead, the amazing grounds set the magical tone of this unique property.

Amonga variety of fruit, ornamental and deciduous trees there are two small dams located near the horse stables.

Astudio room with French doors, a workshop, greenhouse and chicken pen all dot the landscape, offering a range of options and opportunit­ies.

There is also extra accommodat­ion provided by a cosy one bedroom French provincial cottage, that could be for occasional visitors or provide an income through paying guests. It includes a wood fire, bay window seat, selfcontai­ned kitchen and spacious bedroom.

The main home is in the style of a Scandinavi­an chalet and consists of a variety of timbers including cedar, oregon and hardwood.

Stepping through the formal entry provides space to shed dirty clothes before entering the home proper.

Alarge open plan space greets you, as does the warmth of the heatpump and wood fire in the living and dining area off to the side.

Large north-facing bay windows look over the country scene and the natural cover of themany trees will cool the house in summer.

The recently renovated kitchen contains sparkling black granite benchtops, a walk-in pantry and all the modern convenienc­es.

The master bedroom is located downstairs and opens on to a light-filled glass conservato­ry with a sliding door that takes you out to the mediterran­ean outdoor dining area.

Asmall bedroom next to the master has a Harry Potter-style little spot for a single bed under the stairs.

Alarge bathroom and separate laundry complete downstairs.

Twomore bedrooms, a bathroom and large family room or possible master bedroom can be found on the top level.
