Sun Filled Home With Tamar River Views on Rare Acreage
With gorgeous water and mountain views from the sun soaked living room, kitchen and main bedroom, this home epitomises peaceful country living within easy twenty minutes commute of Launceston. Overlooking a sheltered boat mooring, the home captures sweeping views across the Tamar River to Native Point Nature Reserve and beyond to Mt Arthur, and is almost waterfront with only a quiet road separating the property from the Tamar River. Lovingly renovated for both style and energy efficiency, original 1960's features have been retained such as polished myrtle floorboards in the living room, King Billy pine windows and vintage fittings. Tasteful renovations include a timber kitchen and generous modern tiled bathroom with huge bath. Enjoy privacy on approximately 1.5 acres (6267sqm) of gently sloping land planted with Tasmanian natives that flourish companionably with fruit and nut trees. The enclosed raised bed vegetable garden at the rear has easy access from the kitchen. Clever passive solar design features to minimise energy bills include huge north east facing double glazed windows in living room and bedroom for views and sun, and a north facing conservatory to trap sun and minimise heating requirements in winter. Energy efficient features include R4.5 ceiling insulation and secondary window glazing in most rooms. Be potentially self-sufficient with the large solar hot water system, solar electric panels and built-in Saxon wood heater. Enjoy easy access to Exeter shops and schools with a five minute drive (or a fifteen minute walk up the Goat Track from the end of Stony Brook Rd). Gravelly Beach picnic and play area, pontoon and boat ramp, shop, restaurant and beach are also just a five minute stroll beside the Tamar River. This rare acreage has space for animals, orchard or large garden, or potential for subdivision (STCA).
