32 Ferntree Road, Eaglehawk Neck TAS 7179

Situated on nearly 1.5 acres in beautiful Eaglehawk Neck, this property merges country life with a beachside location, all within an easy hours drive from Hobart.

This brick veneer-built property comprises 4 bedrooms, all carpeted with built in wardrobes. The master bedroom is extremely spacious and features a lovely bay window for you to sit and cast your eye over your flock, herd, gaggle or tribe.

The property features a fabulous country kitchen with loads of bench space and storage, perfect for preserving the fruits of the garden - a surrounding orchard produces apples, cherries, peaches, nectarines, and lemons.

A large living area is warmed and cooled by a modern reverse cycle inverter, whilst the Saxon woodheater can be engaged during the depths of winter to heat the entire home through.

A timber cladded entry foyer provides a lovely entrance to the home or can be used as an additional living room or study.
The huge family bathroom is underpinned by a luxury spa, and also includes shower and vanity.

The property is adorned with various outbuildings - a huge 9 x 5.5m workshop, smaller secondary shed, plus a dam and stables for your animals. The house is flanked by a pair of long verandah's and annexed by a large carport, currently being used as an entertainment and storage area. The property is fully fenced, with some electric fencing designed to contain larger livestock, the septic system has recently been serviced and fresh rainwater is captured in the 60,000 litres of tank storage.

As its name suggests, Eaglehawk Neck is a narrow bar between Pirates Bay to the east and Norfolk Bay to the west. This isthmus joins the Forestier Peninsula to the Tasman Peninsula, home of the famous former Port Arthur Penal Settlement.

It was here, during the convict penal settlement days, that guard dogs were chained from one side of the neck to other within reach of each other to deter prisoners from attempting an escape by land. In a nod to the area's history, a bronze dog sculpture marks the spot where these dogs were once stationed.

At the neck itself you can visit the Tessellated Pavement, while a short drive south are the impressive coastal rock formations of the Devils Kitchen, Tasman Arch and the Blowhole. The Totem Pole is an offshore favourite with rock climbers and kayakers further south.

This property will allow you to walk to the stunning Pirates Bay beach within 25 minutes, enjoying the magnificent water and forest views as you go. The surrounding areas really are a paradise for walkers, historians, fishers, divers, rock climbers and kayakers alike. Eaglehawk Neck is approximately 1 hours drive from Hobart and bisects the two larger townships of Port Arthur and Dunalley.
