Home With A Warm Hearth

Geeveston

In the lush green valleys nearby, apple orchards pattern the hillsides, and during the soft autumn days you can buy buckets of fresh apples direct form the roadside stalls. 62 kilometres south west of Hobart ,Geeveston is the gateway to the Arve River forests and Hartz Mountain National Park and the administrative centre for the timber industries and apple growers. The area's rivers are home to brown trout and are a haven for flyfishermen.

Situated on 1.116Ha of rural land is this 2 storey Cape Cod, quarry stone home with a very attractive external profile accentuated by the stone presentation and the well attended landscaped gardens. The floor plan provides spacious family accommodation with extensive use of timber/stone work and high ceilings adding to the internal character.

On the ground floor is a Blackwood kitchen/dining room with a walk-in pantry. The lounge room has a sandstone open fireplace with built-in bench seats surrounding it, a mezzanine library and an attached glass/stone walled atrium.

There is a formal dining/rumpus room, a study with built-in shelving and a large bathroom with spa tub, shower and vanity unit.

The upper floor houses the main bedroom with ensuite, built-in robes plus a walk-in robe, a Juliet balcony and retreat area.

There are two other good sized dormer bedrooms one with an attached retreat/office area. A narrow spiral staircase gives access to an attic/playroom.

Services connected include power, telephone and town water. Broadband and ADSL are available and the television reception is good.

Outbuildings provide large garaging, workshop with 3 phase power and general storage facilities and would ideally suit a home based business.

A half court bitumen tennis court with mesh screen fencing is in need of an upgrade.

If you are seeking a peaceful haven and a home with a difference, within an hours drive of Hobart this could well be the one.
