780 Huon Road, Fern Tree, TAS 7054

This is a very special property enjoying leafy surrounds and an elevated position, situated just a few minutes drive or cycle from the city fringe, bordered by a rivulet and Westringa Road playground. Fern Tree is a small hamlet nestled in the foothills of stunning Mount Wellington. A favourite for cyclists and hikers with the popular pipeline track and many wonderful walking tracks including Silver Falls on the doorstep.

Environmentally attuned prospective purchasers will embrace the split-level timber construction and simplicity of design. The interiors are open plan, expansive and full of natural light, with accommodation consisting of one double, heavenly loft bedroom serviced by a very smart renovated bathroom which includes a bathtub and adjacent laundry.

The living, dining and kitchen space is very generously proportioned, featuring beautiful floor to ceiling double glazed picture windows framing the most spectacular tree scape and River Derwent vistas all the way to Cape Raoul and the Tasman Peninsula.

The property is situated on an extensive allotment of over 4 hectares, private and untouched with an abundance of magnificent tree ferns. A plethora of wildlife, including Tawny Frogmouth owls, may be spotted in the evening and are one's only real 'neighbours'... the sound of birdsong is just lovely.

There is a small portion of the property which has been fenced for a garden, making it secure for pets and children. Floodlights enhance the evening spectacle; nocturnal animals venture out and often put on a show fascinating to watch!

The interiors are contemporary and well appointed, features include timber floorboards in Tasmanian Oak, a solid Huon Pine door, Bosch kitchen appliances including an oversized gas cooktop and connection to the NBN.
Insulation and combination heating / cooling ensures the house maintains an even temperature in comfort year round. A wood heater provides ambient heat and of course an endless supply of firewood is right outside.

Number 780 is a pleasant stroll to the Fern Tree tavern, a popular community hub where quiz nights and organic farmers' markets are held. Those sensitive to the delights of a wilderness escape will embrace the lifestyle it affords.

There is such a shortage of abodes, offering tranquility, relative seclusion and a manageable footprint.
Naturally if one needs to extend the accommodation or perhaps build a pod or two of Scandinavian influence for visiting family or Eco tourism there is potential... the possibilities are endless!

Huon Road, a regular bus route extends from South Hobart on the cusp of the CBD.
