168 Castle Forbes Road

Castle Forbes Bay TAS 7116

This lovely old home was originally built in 1935 and has had many changes over its life. This has created a wonderful and interesting environment, providing plenty of intrigue. Sitting at the bottom of 10 acres of natural Tassie forest, provides a fantastic backdrop of beautiful tall gums. Well set up for a self-sustainable lifestyle, there are established veggie gardens, fruit trees and a chicken coop for fresh eggs in morning. A dual access loops along the embankment. Another track goes in behind to a flat spot within the bush.

As you drive up Castle Forbes Rd, you are instantly taken back to a by-gone era as you wind along a quiet country road that passes by old apple barns and period style homes. On arriving at the property, the home is perched up on the bank within its natural environment. At the top of the driveway, a double garage and workshop is close to the entry of the home, providing easy and practical access. A small courtyard is partly covered and leads into a large mudroom, perfect for your coats, and shoes before entering inside.

On entering, the quirkiness of this home is instantly evident. The feature here is the huge well lit kitchen that is clearly the central focus. There is a large amount of storage and plenty of light that stream through the windows. An island bench provides oodles of space to prepare meals and a great spot for socialising. You will love the quality appliances and stone bench tops, including both electric induction cooking and a gas hob for the wok. From here, an access leads through to the central dining room, where a large family dining table will be great for entertaining friends and family. From here, you step into the main lounge where there is a lovely wood fire creating both warmth in the cooler months and a wonderful snug atmosphere.
