Overview

Set within the popular riverside suburb of Otago, just 12 kilometers from Hobart, this spacious and incredibly private property offers an enviable lifestyle where peaceful country living meets effortless city access.

Nestled amongst the trees, this unique mid-1960s weatherboard home is warm, welcoming, and full of character. Bathed in all-day sun, the open plan living zone captures breathtaking views across the Derwent River, over Bowen Bridge, and beyond to kunanyi / Mount Wellington and Mount Direction.

Floorboards enhance the relaxed sitting and dining area, while the upgraded kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a gas cooktop, appliance nook, generous pantry, and abundant bench and storage space. Double glass doors extend the living outdoors to a wide timber deck, providing the perfect setting for entertaining, summer dining, or simply soaking in the ever-changing river views from your own private vantage point.

The accommodation includes a comfortable separate lounge, three bedrooms (two with built-in robes), an upgraded family bathroom with shower over bath, vanity and toilet, with the convenience of an additional separate toilet. The home is equipped with electric heating and a cosy wood fire for the cooler months.

Outdoors, the impressive 2,916 square meter parcel offers exceptional versatility. Previously operated as a self-sufficient organic hobby farm and dairy goat stud, the property features a prolific vegetable garden, an extensive orchard of 20 fruit trees, an enclosed chook pen, fenced paddocks, and ample space to continue the self-sufficiency dream. Additional infrastructure includes a carport, workshop with two separate rooms, garden shed, and under-house storage.

Positioned within a tightly held semi-rural enclave, the property is just 15 minutes from Hobart's CBD and under 6 kilometers to the shops and services of Glenorchy or Lindisfarne. Bus services run along Otago Bay Road, and there is a selection of schools and childcare nearby.

This tranquil oasis truly offers the best of both worlds for buyers seeking space, privacy, and a connection to nature without sacrificing convenience.
