Mature birch trees, a bespoke armillary sphere, heritage roses, and shrubs adorn the landscaped turning circle, offering a charming welcome to this property.

With abundant space under all-day sun and lovely views in every direction, this perfectly positioned home sits amongst orchards and farms in a northern pocket of the beautiful Huon Valley. It is located just minutes from restaurants, wineries, cider houses, bakeries, and artisan studios, all within an easy 30-minute drive to Hobart.

The single-level double-brick home is equipped for modern comforts including ducted air conditioning, a wood heater, solar panels, and two Tesla Powerwall batteries for smart and economical power, plus a fixed wireless fast NBN connection. Additionally, the property features a large rainwater tank with an additional town water connection, a double lock-up garage with remotes, and ample storage.

As you enter the home through the verandaed portico and generous foyer, the three wings of the house are revealed: the northern kitchen/dining/living area, the southern master suite/study/lounge-rumpus, and the eastern bedrooms/bathroom/laundry.

The east-facing kitchen is designed as a chef’s stage for easy entertaining, featuring a wrapped granite-clad bench with Tas Oak cabinetry. It expands seamlessly from the kitchen/dining area through double-glazed bifolds for al fresco dining on the sheltered deck, which boasts a well-designed wood fire pizza oven and barbecue space. The wrap-around balcony and deck provide room for the whole party with sensational sunset views to the south, west, and north.

The extensive egg-crate arbour and fire-pit area are located in the children and pet-friendly, securely fenced garden, with a nearby tranquil Lilly pond. At night, the surrounds come alive with decorative low-voltage lighting.

The well-maintained garden includes a large fully enclosed chicken run with mature fruit trees such as almond, cherries, plums, apricots, nectarine, pears, and pomegranate. Outside, there are raised permaculture kitchen herb and vegetable beds and more fruit trees including lemon, limes, nashi pear, quince, and various apple varieties including an iconic Geeveston Fanny.

The southern wing houses the large master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe, along with a double-glazed sunroom shared with the large lounge/rumpus/library. To the east, three roomy bedrooms each with built-in robes are serviced by a common bathroom featuring a spa bath, shower, and separate toilet. The laundry includes additional storage and mudroom access from outside.

Built in 2023, the registered short-term visitor accommodation (DashWu Steading) offers premium quality furnishings and fittings. It is double-glazed, equipped with split system reverse-cycle air conditioning and outdoor heating. A Tesla battery and universal EV charging underline the smart energy and green credentials of the build. Boasting a Star Ratings Australia five-star accredited rating (transferable to the new owner if desired), the house is decorated with curated local art and provides a private holiday destination for two adults in the upper Huon Valley. The separate living and sleeping areas include a luxurious bathroom with rain shower and laundry facilities, a fully equipped kitchen, a large enclosed private courtyard, and all modern conveniences to ensure a relaxing and rejuvenating stay for guests. The low-maintenance landscaped courtyard has a retractable pergola with outdoor heating and garden settings.

For resourceful creatives, a custom-built, air-conditioned pod can continue as a studio/gallery for arts and crafts or provide another business opportunity (subject to council approval) such as a cellar door for a boutique vineyard or distillery.

Whether a primary producer or hobby farmer, abundant storage is available for animal feed and farm machinery, including a John Deere ride-on mower to keep the grounds manicured, which will be included in the sale. Permanent water is available in the dam or from many outlets for animals or irrigation.

This uniquely positioned property offers a place for living, lifestyle, and business, with many options for the future. Packers Road is within an easy commute to Kingston (20 minutes) or Hobart (30 minutes) and just three minutes from Huonville, the commercial hub of the Huon Valley, offering shopping, schools, churches, medical services, parks, and playing fields.
