Mountain River TAS 7109

Located within a spectacular mountain vista, this is a very picturesque 27 acres (11.2ha). Consisting of rolling pastures with a section of lush forest at the bottom, and with 2 brooks running down both sides of the property and Mountain River itself forming the bottom boundary, this really is a special property. Set back up a private driveway, the home enjoys complete privacy and benefits from a dominant position on the high point of the property.Originally built in 2002 with upgrades and extensions completed in recent years, the home is now fully double glazed, well insulated and benefits from further energy efficiency from a large array of solar panels and a solar-tube hot water system. The brick and clad construction is low-maintenance, and combined with the interesting design, makes this home striking and timeless.Inside, the open plan living consists of a spacious lounge and a dining area big enough to host a large family and friends gathering. This flows seamlessly through to the kitchen, forming the heart of the home. The kitchen has granite bench tops, and Tassie Oak cabinetry. This is a very practical space with plenty of storage and well integrated quality appliances.Back through the lounge leads to a second living room, where the windows are full floor to ceiling in length, bringing the outside into the room. This would make a lovely reading room or your home office. It could even potentially be another bedroom. The views are beautifully framed in all directions by windows that capture the natural surrounds. Stepping out to the covered entertaining deck, the smells and sounds of the surrounding nature becomes another element for the senses. Cleverly thought through, there are electric blinds that can be deployed to provide further shelter if required.Down the hallway, are the spare bedrooms and central family bathroom. One room is ideal as the study. But it is down the very end that will impress you. The master suite is just amazing, very spacious and captures the views beautifully. The ensuite bathroom is also super spacious and provides a touch of luxury. There is a separate bath and a level walk-in double shower as well as floor to ceiling tiles. The bathrooms also benefit from heated towel rails and heated floors.Back outside, the infrastructure is fantastic. There is a carport with clever storage near the home and a triple bay garage will be perfect to house the other vehicles or caravan or boat. Another shed is the workshop and under the house a great storage space doubles as the wine cellar too. In the paddock, there is a large hay storage or animal shelter, completing the package.The paddocks are well maintained and all well fenced with good quality gates and drinking troughs in each enclosure. Multiple enclosures enables you to rotate your stock and separate them from the hay paddocks come springtime. A track runs down to the permanently flowing Mountain River. This is an amazing feature right there at the bottom of your own property. A section of forest lines the bank, providing a lush wet forest to walk through, removing you from the world as you meander along the rocky shores of the river.The real feature is the location, at the foot of the mountain locally known as Sleeping Beauty, due to the face profile of the iconic character. The mood is forever changing throughout the valley, from bright blue skies offsetting the green surrounds one moment, to the rolling mist clinging to the hills and the river in the valley the next. The sound of the river is soothing, as is the chirping of the abundant birdlife.All this is within 30 minutes to the Hobart CBD should you need to commute to the city. Otherwise, the main hub of the Huon Valley is 10-15 minutes away, where you will find all your larger country town shops and services.Please contact us for further information or to arrange a private viewing.
