This idyllic, country property has been lovingly restored over the past few years and is now, arguably, one of the finest examples of a renovated traditional farmhouse within the Huon Valley.
The transformation of Green Gate Farm has been well documented and enjoyed by thousands of followers on the current owner's Instagram page "Our Vintage Farm" - through this history, you can see there has been a focus on not just maintaining, but celebrating the dignity of this property's heritage. The home is perfectly framed by English-inspired gardens; fieldstone retaining walls and stands of lavender greet you on arrival, with box hedges formalizing the cottage varieties and assuring you that every part of this property has received the loving attention to detail it deserves.
So many of the original features remain here. The traditional floorplan includes spacious bedrooms, which are each off the wide hall, layers of original wallpaper have been left exposed in the hall archway as a slight nod to the years of love this property has enjoyed. Currently, one of the downstairs bedrooms is used as a second living or snug and the master bedroom offers an impressive ensuite that includes a walk-in wardrobe. The absolutely stunning, open plan kitchen, living, and dining, sit in what would have been the rear of the original cottage this very generous space now also incorporates a bathroom and laundry as well as the formal entryway. Modern luxuries have not been forgotten during this renovation; A standalone electric oven with gas cooktop sits under a decorative canopy which, interestingly, was created using some of the original floorboards. A dual-drawer dishwasher is installed near the picturesque farmhouse sink, and a generous butler's pantry sits behind the main kitchen area, providing fantastic storage and additional workspace. Upstairs, you'll find an adorable attic room with double-glazed dormer windows that take in the rural views. This space makes a stunning guest area with room for a home office as well. Outside you'll see that the farm offers impressive infrastructure, all with the potential for multiple uses. The old dairy was beautifully restored and once hosted farm tours and long table lunches. There is also an eco shack studio that sits away from the main house along with workshop and garage spaces, housing for poultry, and a simple outbuilding for use as a barn. The land is currently organized into five separate paddocks with water from the property's spring-fed dam and the town supply available to each of them. These prime pastures are currently home to the property's cows, goats, and sheep. This is certainly not your average hobby farm, rather, it's an exceptional example of a Tasmanian lifestyle property and is sure to impress upon inspection.
