From the garden filled with native birds, to the bush that supports a range of native animal species, this registered Land for Wildlife property will appeal to the wildlife lover. Watch the Sea Eagles soar over the Huon River shoreline, and the Wedge-tailed Eagles catching the thermals over the bushland. Enjoy the antics of the endemic Native Hen families, and watch the Welcome Swallows and Fairy Wrens rear their young. Hear the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos feasting amongst the Hakeas and Banksias. Meet the local Pademelon population, and keep a look out as dusk falls for Easter-barred and Southern Brown Bandicoots, Eastern Quolls, Bettongs and if you are lucky, a Tasmanian Devil. As a bonus, there is enough pasture for a few horses or sheep, or to grow fruit and vegetables. The property totals 17.85ha with stunning Huon River views from the inviting 4br home which is situated just 10 minutes from the vibrant town of Cygnet and less than one hour from Hobart.

If you enjoy water-based activities, then you will appreciate the fact that there is just a country road between this property and the foreshore reserve, with easy access to the waterfront.

The comfortable character family home features water views from nearly every room. There are 4 bedrooms plus a study or 5th bedroom, and a large open plan living room with cathedral ceilings and polished Tasmanian oak floors. A kitchen off this space has a family-sized electric oven with gas cook top. The kitchen and living room are bathed in natural light from two glass skylights. There is an enclosed verandah along one side of the house which leads to a terracotta tiled multi-purpose room suitable as a family room or games room, with access to a sunny covered porch on one side and another outdoor space and carport on the other. The family bathroom has recently been updated.

There is plenty of heating choice to keep you cosy in the winter with a wood heater in the living room with an extraction system to heat the hallway and bedrooms, as well as a heat pump, plus panel heater in the hallway.

The study, living room and enclosed verandah all have direct access to the deck which offers stunning views of the Huon River estuary and surrounding hills. Stairs lead from the deck into the fully-fenced yard. The yard features a fern garden, a cubby house, and numerous fruit trees - apple, plum, nashi, sour cherries, almond and hazelnut.

Below the very private yard, which is screened by a border of bird attracting native trees, is a fenced vegetable garden and another orchard area with more apple trees, cherry, apricot, nectarine, fig and feijoa. There is also a herb garden behind the house with oregano, rosemary, thyme, lemon balm, pineapple sage, comfrey, raspberries and currant bushes.

Approximately one third of the property is cleared. The house is surrounded by approx 2ha of flat to gently sloping pasture where approx. 1ha has wildlife proof fencing to provide feed for domestic animals. Where the property widens is another approx 4ha of cleared land which is gently sloping to steep rough pasture which runs into the bush at the rear. There is a picturesque large dam, plus 3 smaller dams. In the bush area of the property you will find towering blue gums, white gums and stringybarks, small shady clearings, and tree ferns. There are formed tracks to explore the property, and the land is 1km long from front to rear boundaries.

There is a 6m x 9m 3 bay Colorbond shed near the house for vehicles, a tractor, boat, or ATV. There is also a 4 bay stable plus hay storage area, and a smaller shed with power.

The property is on tank water, with a 20,000 litre concrete tank servicing the home, and a separate 7,500 litre drinking water tank fed from the shed roof and gravity fed to the kitchen. The concrete tank can be filled from the dam when necessary.

This wonderful property has been home to the present owners for nearly 16 years.
