959 Woodbridge Hill Rd, Gardners Bay TAS 7112, Australia
Positioned on over four and a half acres of land, within 5 minutes from the Cygnet township, this outstanding property offers a beautiful home, built in 1912, a huge timber barn, and access to Wolfes Creek which runs through the rear corner of the property.
The home, which is rumoured to be one of the first homesteads in the area, still retains many of its original features, which are complimented by some modern conveniences. Gorgeous Tasmanian Oak floorboards are found throughout the house and together, with high ceilings, help to create a feeling of spaciousness and grandeur through most of the home.
Three well proportioned bedrooms are found off the central hall and each provides glorious rural views and enjoy a north facing aspect, with light and warmth from the sun enjoyed throughout the day.
The spacious living room sits in the centre of the cottage and is warmed by the inset wood heater. There is also the convenience of electric heating available.
The timber, country kitchen and light filled dining area enjoy the full width of the home and provide access to a covered deck via French doors. The outlook from here is superb and takes in neighbouring farmlands, as well as this property’s own paddocks and house gardens.
The impressive 462m2 barn sits just away from the house and enjoys its own private access from the road. This was once the apple packing shed for the area and today, it holds worlds of potential to be transformed into something incredible.
A current arrangement sees the barn enjoying a weekly income as a storage facility but given its unique character, great position, and 3 phase power connected, using this for a bespoke commercial venture is something worth serious consideration.
The pasture has been separated into 3 paddocks which comfortably housed two horses and provided over 180 hay bales a year.
The property has all that you need for a sustainable lifestyle, including a large walk-in chicken house, a wallaby-proof fence for the veggie garden, a greenhouse, and a netted orchard with an abundance of apples and plums. The fertile soil also once hosted a thriving market garden, with produce being sold from the popular farm stand at the end of the driveway – and with the generous amounts of sun enjoyed here, these could very easily be re-established.,
This property is an ideal hobby farm, offering a fantastic rural lifestyle for its next occupants.
