Life At Little Oak Farm

We often use the phrase 'Dream Property', but this time it really is the quintessential Dream Country Living Property! This is Life at Little Oak Farm, a labour of love from the owners who have created the most idyllic dream for you to step in and enjoy. Starting out as a rundown little old cottage on a messy unloved 31 acres, this gem is now the talk of town. Very cleverly thought out and meticulously developed, the gorgeous cottage has been brought back to life.

Located within minutes of the eclectic cultural centre of Cygnet, and only a short drive up into the hills gets you to Little Oak Farm. As you arrive around the bend, the utterly gorgeous cottage, thought to originate somewhere between 1880 and 1900, oozes country charm. The front is perfectly framed by the beautiful perennial garden, contained within the white picket fence. The bullnose verandahs come complete with hanging wisteria and the French doors all invite the garden vistas seamlessly into the home.

Out the back, more double glazed French doors open out from the open plan living, dining and kitchen, to a vast area with multiple outdoor entertaining options, linking the inside kitchen with the outside kitchen. Here, attached to the side of the double garage, there is a covered outdoor cooking area that will please any food producing addict. Apart from the obligatory pizza oven, there is also a unique Chilean grill and BBQ, allowing you to feed all your visiting friends and family with ease.

From here the fruit trees and herb patches step down to the food production part of the garden. An array of veggie beds, rows of fruit trees and a huge poly tunnel will provide you with so much home grown organic produce, you will no doubt be swapping some for other goodies produced by the many lovely local made products around the area. A chicken coop occupies one side providing fresh eggs and another terraced area is ready for further expansion on the other side. Fully fenced, the whole garden area is pet and kid friendly. A real feature has to be the stunningly beautiful stone wall that curves its way along the driveway and through to the back yard.

The cottage is seriously quaint. As you walk in through the front door, you can't help but be transported to a bygone era. The high ceilings, the original timber floors and the charm will warm your heart immediately. The hallway leads to the open plan living at the rear where a lovely free standing wood fire provides both atmosphere and a snug warmth during the cooler months. A clever ducted heat transfer system moves the warmth to the other rooms in the home and takes fresh air from the roof space.

Around the corner past the country dining table is the kitchen that oozes country character. The subway tiles, the porcelain sink, the Belling stove, the timber tops and the brick features all work together to create a kitchen to be proud of as well as being super practical. The French doors that open out in all directions beautifully frame garden views, completing an idyllic picture. Back down the hall are 4 rooms, currently set-up as 3 bedrooms and the 4th as the home office and craft room. Again all with their own French doors to different sections of the garden. The bathroom is also gorgeous with a separate walk-in shower, a clawfoot bath and a cleverly hidden laundry.

Surrounding the amazing home and garden developed area, the remaining property totalling 31 acres (12.71ha) comprises of native forest, pines and rough pastures. Oh and did I mention the creek that flows through the bottom corner of the property? A vehicle track leads you into the tall gums, popping out to a large cleared area. Here there have been pigs and goats and cows in the past. It was even an orchard many years ago. Another slope was the berry patch. This property is steeped in history and wonderfully represents all that is wonderful about country living in the Huon Valley.

The track loops around past silver wattles and a small pine plantation where you will find classic Toadstool mushrooms growing amongst the nettles. Just below the food production garden, a pair of fenced paddocks are ideal for the farm animals. Positioned within a very sought after location as well as being so incredibly well set-up, will no doubt make this little treasure very popular.

Look out for the extra information, including the walkthrough video, the 3D dolls house interactive virtual floor plan or book in a private inspection to see it all for yourself. Property ID: #THH22946
