Some properties simply provide a place to live. Others offer the opportunity to embrace a completely different way of life. Set amongst approximately five acres of established gardens, productive paddocks and established grounds, this beautifully maintained Lachlan property invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures that make country living so special. Lovingly cared for and continually improved by its current owners, this is a property that immediately feels special, offering a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature and the beauty of the Lachlan Valley. As you arrive through the electric entrance gate and make your way towards the home, the sense of privacy and tranquillity is immediately apparent. Established gardens soften the landscape, colourful plantings provide year round interest, and the rolling Lachlan Valley creates a stunning backdrop beyond. Built in 2009 and thoughtfully enhanced over time, the home combines practical family living with an undeniable connection to its surroundings. As you approach the home, one of the first things you'll notice is the recently added north west facing mudroom and sunroom. Filled with natural light and warmth throughout the day, this inviting space provides the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, unwind with a book or simply take in the surrounding gardens. From here, the home opens into a spacious living environment centred around the kitchen, dining and family areas. Designed to bring people together, this is a home where conversations naturally gather around the kitchen and where entertaining family and friends feels effortless. At its heart is a well appointed kitchen featuring a 900mm Westinghouse electric oven, gas cooktop, quality appliances and generous preparation space, creating a practical and inviting hub for everyday living. A separate lounge room with feature barn doors provides flexibility for families while enjoying the warmth and ambience of the wood heater. Accommodation includes three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master suite enjoys a large walk through robe, private ensuite and direct access outdoors. The remaining bedrooms also feature built in wardrobes and sliding door access to the deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living. Flowing from the living spaces and bedrooms is the expansive deck extending along the western and southern side of the home. More than simply an outdoor entertaining area, this is a place to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. Whether it is your morning coffee accompanied by visiting birdlife, a leisurely lunch with family and friends or an afternoon beverage as the sun disappears behind the hills, the deck provides the perfect setting to enjoy the valley outlook and peaceful surrounds. Recent updates throughout the home reflect the care and attention invested in the property over the years. Improvements include renovated bathrooms and laundry spaces, upgraded double glazing to selected windows and doors, quality timber sash windows, ceiling and floor insulation, and numerous enhancements designed to improve comfort and energy efficiency. Year round climate control is provided through a reverse cycle air conditioner, wood heater, heat transfer system servicing the bedrooms and ceiling fans throughout the home. For buyers seeking greater energy independence, the property is exceptionally well equipped with a 10kW solar system, 14kW battery storage system, EV charging station and gas hot water, providing practical long term benefits while helping to reduce ongoing running costs. Beyond the home itself, the property continues to impress. Established gardens create colour and interest throughout the year, while raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, fruit trees, blueberry and raspberry bushes provide the opportunity to enjoy fresh produce straight from your own backyard. Whether your passion is gardening, hobby farming or simply enjoying the outdoors, much of the hard work has already been done. The approximately five acre parcel is divided into around six fenced paddocks and includes a dam, offering flexibility for livestock, hobby farming, horses or simply enjoying the freedom and privacy that acreage living provides. Storage and infrastructure have been equally well considered, with a double carport, workshop shed, wood shed, mower shed, additional storage sheds and a 20 foot shipping container ensuring there is ample space for equipment, hobbies and future projects. Adding further appeal is the council approved, self contained one bedroom cabin/chalet, constructed in 2019. Privately positioned from the main residence, it has previously been utilised as short stay accommodation and offers flexibility for guests, extended family, supplementary income or multi generational living. Water security is well catered for with approximately 66,600 litres of rainwater storage across three tanks, supporting the property's self sufficient lifestyle appeal. Located just minutes from New Norfolk and approximately 40 minutes from Hobart, this exceptional offering delivers the perfect balance between rural tranquillity and modern convenience.
