Dodges Ferry TAS 7173

The story of this truly exceptional property can be traced back to 1832, when Ralph Dodge became its official owner. The "Ferry Farm", as it was known for years, served as row-boat ferry service point for new settlers to get across to Seven Mile Beach. Mr. Dodge built a house in this incredibly beautiful location with his own hand-made bricks, which the industrious man made on site. This glorious cottage still stands today and has been beautifully restored and upgraded to create a most charming and comfortable home.

This magnificent property consists of the historical cottage, and a separate studio on 2895m2 of land. This astonishingly and spectacular block of prime real estate could be further subdivided if required (subject to council approval).

The historical cottage, which has been beautifully restored and offers charming accommodation. Carefully chosen light fittings, wooden window frames, neutral colour palette, lovingly restored original floorboards and high ceilings give this house an incredibly charming atmosphere.

This exceptional dwelling features two living rooms, the main one located on ground level and adorned with a fireplace and beautiful water views, the second living is located upstairs. There are two generous king-sized bedrooms downstairs, both adorned with open fireplaces, and a very spacious third bedroom upstairs, draped with high pitched ceilings and complete with a built-in robe.

The main living room opens up onto a lovely verandah for the relaxed views, while in the opposite direction, the country inspired kitchen, which features all modern appliances. This delightful building also features a family bathroom with a stylish free-standing claw foot bath, toilet, and shower. A separate garage and a carport are available for your car parking needs. Here you can enjoy the comforts of modern living with a taste of history and relaxed country-feel atmosphere.

To make this property even more appealing a free standing, one/ two-bedroom studio with bathroom has been erected near the cottage. Clad in weatherboard, the studio is a great guesthouse with a charming verandah looking out onto the garden.
At the front of the property, you will find an impressively large separate garage and workshop, exterior clad with solid timber, which greatly compliments the brick of the adjacent dwellings. A mezzanine floor offers additional work/storage space.
