Rural Retreat with Dual Dwelling & Potential Income

‘There are places I remember’… and this tranquil property tucked away above Kettering and the stunning D’Entrecasteaux Channel is certainly a place you will remember. Set on 2.1 hectares of land this inviting property exudes a calmness that will make you want to stay just a little longer.

With two well designed dwellings positioned to enjoy privacy from one another, this is a place that encourages you to slow down, listen to the birds and take in the surrounding landscape.

The main residence is a two storey, double brick home that reflects quality craftsmanship throughout. Painted brick and timber finishes create warmth, while ornate raked Tas oak ceilings and a striking timber staircase with stainless steel railings add character and a sense of thoughtful design. Extra high ceilings enhance the feeling of space in the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, offering flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. A small study or reading room looks out to the garden, bringing the outside in and making it an inviting space to work or read.

The main bedroom is located downstairs and includes built in robes, while upstairs the spacious loft style bedroom is enclosed for privacy. With timber linings, four separate built in cupboards/wardrobes and ample room for a desk, living area and a queen bed, it is an appealing retreat in its own right. The loft is also large enough to consider dividing into two rooms if desired.

While configured as two bedrooms, the home is ideally suited to couples or a small family seeking comfort, charm and a relaxed lifestyle.

The second dwelling / ancillary, classified as Visitor Accommodation, is beautifully appointed and impressively spacious. Double glazed for comfort, it features a large bedroom, generous bathroom and a light filled open plan living area including a modern kitchen. It offers a wonderful option for guests, extended family or additional income, all while maintaining complete separation from the main residence.

Each home enjoys its own driveway and private outdoor areas, ensuring you cannot see from one dwelling to the other. This thoughtful layout allows both spaces to feel entirely independent.

Outdoors, the living spaces continue to impress. A fully covered and expansive outdoor entertaining area provides multiple zones to gather with family and friends. Catering for relaxed barbecue afternoons and long lunches in the purpose-built gazebo is a beautifully considered extension of the home, designed to be enjoyed in every season.

The grounds are a delight, with established gardens, fruit trees, mature plantings and level lawned areas that invite you to sit, wander and enjoy the birds and wildlife. A dam on the property adds to the sense of space and rural calm.

Set on a sealed road in a popular part of Kettering, the property benefits from excellent north facing sun and a notably quiet setting. With views to kunanyi (Mount Wellington), this is a property offering two very well-built homes, peaceful surrounds and gardens that are beautifully presented and easy to enjoy.

It is the kind of place where the days feel unhurried and the atmosphere is genuinely restful, offering privacy, flexibility and a gentle pace of living.

Kettering is a picturesque town on the edge of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and is the gateway to Bruny Island. It is a paradise for yachties with the Oyster Cove Marina close by and secluded anchorages of Bruny Island only a quick sail away. Conveniently, the property is just 30 minutes’ drive from Hobart and 20 minutes from Kingston with its medical centres, government services, supermarkets and shopping centres.
