Set on 2.04 hectares (5.04 acres) of gently sloping land, this newly listed, beautifully presented property offers the perfect opportunity for those who wish to enjoy an idyllic rural lifestyle yet need to be within a comfortable commuting distance of Kingston and Hobart. The 4 bedroom home is set with a northerly aspect and offers a huge amount of versatile living space. Spread over one level covering approximately 246 square metres, the home has a central living zone with kitchen, breakfast area, lounge and formal dining room, with the sleeping accommodation situated on either side of this area. One sleeping accommodation "wing" contains three generous sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes as well as the lovely family bathroom with large corner spa and separate toilet. The other wing contains a large rumpus room and the serene master suite which incorporates the master bedroom with a built in robe and en-suite bathroom. The main living area is spacious and makes the most of the majestic northerly views towards kunanyi / Mt Wellington. The living room is cleverly split in two with a built-in storage cupboard providing partitioning of the formal dining area. It is also complemented with double glazed windows and doors for a well-insulated living space throughout the year. The kitchen along the south wall of the living zone has plenty of well-lit workspace, ample storage as well as a built-in pantry and modern appliances. The spacious living area and rumpus room are heated by three Daikin heat pumps (reverse cycle air-conditioning), as well as a Clean Air wood heater. All four bedrooms are set up with panel heating. Utility space in the home includes a large laundry as well as a mud room which is very much a country living essential. Also accessed from the mud room is a separate toilet. A deck accessed from the living area offers a sheltered and spectacular view of the mountain. Part of this outdoor living area is roofed and provides a thoroughly usable entertaining space for any time of the year. From the deck you can enjoy the outlook over the gently sloping paddock in front of the home that includes a bounty of fruit and nut trees. The mini apple orchard yields enough fruit to make home brewed cider. There is light woodland on the property, and this attracts a multitude of wildlife including pademelons, the resident echidna and a huge variety of birdlife. One of the most important aspects of this property is the large dam which provides plenty of water for irrigating the various parts of the garden. An in-ground irrigation system is in place for this purpose. The current owners have been delighted by the appearance of a platypus in their dam and this just adds to the joy that the owners and their family have received from this wonderful home. Additional outbuildings include a large garage / workshop, hay shed as well as a three vehicle carport with hardstand. A fenced vegetable garden offers loads of opportunity for the enthusiastic self-sufficient homesteader. This part of Kingborough has always been popular with young families and offers easy access to the Huon Highway which is the main connector between Huonville and Hobart. It also is nestled between two renowned wineries. Equally convenient is access to Margate and the Channel Highway to Kingston. Kingston with its shopping centres, beautiful beaches, schools, sporting facilities and other attractions is only a 15-minute drive from the home. This is a must-see country oasis for anyone wanting a low maintenance rural property in a popular and conveniently accessible region.
