One Of The Channel's Finest
Without doubt this is one of the finest properties you will find in the Channel. Established in the 1840s by ship builder John Watson, it was originally named Slip Cottages and two of the original cottages still remain. Standing in a sheltered 8 acres (approx), mostly pasture with some majestic stands of gums, the main home has a commanding position overlooking the water. Fully renovated to an extremely high standard, accommodation provides large formal living with French doors onto the deck and an open fire place, magnificent huon pine kitchen with granite bench tops, dining/family area, 3 bedrooms, 2 stunning bathrooms and separate laundry with 3rd toilet. All living areas have polished floorboards. Next to the home is a log cabin which has been converted to an entertaining room complete with wood fired pizza oven and pool table. The gardens are amazing with some of the trees over 100 years old the largest oak on the property is purportedly the oldest in the southern hemisphere. An 11mx7m garage with concrete floor, power and remote controlled roller doors will comfortably fit 4 cars and is double height, there is also a substantial 11mx4m workshop.
Totally private and secluded, properties of this calibre rarely come to the market, this one has to be seen and felt to really absorb the atmosphere and micro-climate which envelope it.
