40 Wireless Station Road

Emita TAS 7255

Set on 2.233 hectares (5.5 acres), this circa 1912 homestead has been lovingly restored over the past 12 years. The home is situated on what was known as Wireless Hill, overlooking Settlement Point at Emita. It was first developed by the Commonwealth Government in 1912-1913 as a wireless station. The original dwelling was constructed of granite and concrete walls, 25cm thick. Some of the features of this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home include high ceilings, original wide floor boards, original fireplaces, boxed window and French shutters. A large open plan lounge, dining and entertaining area with floor to ceiling windows leads on to a large wrap around deck to take advantage of the breathtaking ocean views. Off the kitchen is a family/dining/TV space overlooking an attractive garden area. Completing the home is the original walk-in pantry with ample storage for provisions/wine plus a private den/office room. There is parking for 2 cars under the house, plus an additional 3 sheds used as a workshop and general garden/storage shedding. Apart from the deck area, a perfect place to entertain or relax is the private alfresco area featuring olive trees and an outdoor fireplace. There is also a fenced private garden with an array of flowers plus a vegetable patch and lawned area. The Wireless Hill huts are an historic feature of the property, consisting of two separate 3 room buildings that formed part of the telegraphic communications between Flinders Island and the mainland. These buildings would be ideally suited to conversion to B & B or artists studios (STCA). Can you picture yourself here, so close to fine beaches, fishing and boating spots, with no close neighbours and no passing traffic all just 20 minutes drive from the township of Whitemark?
