Overview
This exceptional property offers a rare blend of high-end residential living and genuine rural capability on approximately 40 acres (16.56 hectares) of fertile Tasmanian land, located close to town in Howth. The home, built with careful attention to detail in 2012, showcases quality Tasmanian timbers and a thoughtful design maximizing orientation and views, creating a warm, character-filled residence with a strong sense of permanence.
Five bedrooms and three bathrooms complement multiple living areas designed to accommodate both lively family interactions and tranquil retreats. The inclusion of a guest wing with its own outlook provides privacy ideal for extended family or visitors. The elevated master suite enjoys expansive sea views and spectacular sunrises, enhancing the living experience with natural beauty.
Health and wellbeing are supported with an indoor heated 10-metre lap pool and spa that allow year-round enjoyment regardless of weather. Effective heating options—including a wood heater fueled by the property's own timber—ensure comfortable living throughout all seasons while reducing ongoing costs. Energy efficiency is further bolstered by 50 solar panels, reflecting a commitment to sustainable living.
A commercial-grade kitchen sits at the heart of the home, fully equipped to meet the demands of a residence of this calibre, supporting both everyday meals and entertaining guests with ease.
The land offers two paddocks with approximately 15 acres of well-fenced, water-serviced grazing or farming area, supported by two water licences for a combined allocation around 16.1 megalitres, alongside two substantial dams. Productive soil, mature native landscapes, and established trees create an environment rich in native wildlife—from platypus and protected frogs to echidnas and various birdlife, including nesting sea and wedge-tailed eagles—adding a distinctive natural dimension that enriches life on the property.
Additional infrastructure includes extensive shedding suited for farm machinery, vehicles, and recreational assets, providing practical solutions for managing rural and lifestyle interests. Despite its rural nature, the property remains conveniently located just minutes from Penguin and Burnie, ensuring access to schools, hospitals, shops, employment opportunities, and other essential amenities.
