Literally rebuilt from the foundations, to create such a stunning vista, is quite remarkable. I had the pleasure of assisting the vendors with the initial purchase of this amazing property in 2006, only to watch them virtually demolish everything insight on this 3.118 hectare property, right down to the bare bones of the home foundations. With their knowledge and determination that I had experienced from their previous property undertaking, I knew this was about to be re-born into something very special. As time progressed, nothing was rushed, and no stone was unturned in preparation for their new dream to unfold. The dwelling was re-configured using the base configuration as a guide; virtually every component was sourced from the best Tasmanian timber merchants and hardware supplies. Beautiful Tasmanian Myrtle was sourced for the floorboards, along with some original Tasmanian polished oak flooring in the bedrooms. Designed with entertaining in mind, the family room features a large pool table, double sided wood heating unit that gives that added warmth and ambience, and a cosy sitting area looking out over the beautifully landscaped gardens. The expansive granite and two-pac kitchen, with multiple storage configurations, breakfast bar, dining and formal dining, also alfresco dining/undercover verandah all offer a myriad of options. Main bedroom has picturesque views of the courtyard and garden, a walk-in robe and adjoining ensuite. Second bedroom has beautiful uninterrupted views of the garden. The former third bedroom from the original design has been reconfigured to become part of the expansive living area. Two bathrooms featuring two-pac white painted vanity, large shower recess and tiled floors with floor heating.
The enclosed courtyard offers a quiet place to take time out or ‘high tea’ with friends. There is a self-contained unit that can be used as a B&B, an independent teenager or a place for the in-laws or extended family, beautiful and private entertaining area at the front as well as a separate entertaining /BBQ pavilion. Huge shed and adjoining packing and machinery shed, excellent bore water to dwellings, paddocks for stock and gardens not to mention a magnificent Walnut tree, weeping flowering cherry, Mount Fuji flowering trees, Chinese Maple tree, Chinese Magnolia, Lilac trees, Standard Iceberg roses, standard Camelia…the list goes on… Inspection by appointment Sushames Real Estate trusts in the information in this document which has been sourced from means which are considered reliable.
