Relax in the generous lounge room with the warmth of the woodfire on cooler evenings, unwind in the second sunny living zone overlooking the rural vista, or enjoy time in the country-style kitchen creating a culinary masterpiece. The kitchen features quality appliances and a stunning 700-year-old Huon Pine benchtop, originally extracted from the Strathgordon Dam, adding a truly unique touch of Tasmanian history. Wide blackwood floorboards throughout the lower level further enhance the home’s quality and sense of timeless character.
Upstairs, elevated views and high ceilings create peaceful bedroom retreats. The impressive master suite includes two walk-in robes and a beautifully appointed ensuite with dual toilets, dual basins and a bath, perfect for relaxing after a long day.
Outdoors, the lifestyle continues with multiple leisure and entertaining spaces, including both front and rear verandas ideal for enjoying your morning coffee while listening to the birdlife, or unwinding at sunset with a glass of your own crafted Riesling. For memorable gatherings with family and friends, the pizza oven and Wisteria-draped pergola are perfectly positioned within the productive garden and paddock surrounds, creating an exceptional outdoor entertaining setting.
The vineyard is planted with approximately 20-year-old Riesling and Pinot Noir vines, irrigated by the spring-fed dam.
