423 Slab Road, Cygnet, Tas 7112

Perched up in the hills of Cygnet, this gorgeous home sits amongst 46 acres of beautiful undulating hills. Recently built, in a charming country style, this home is packed with modern features and energy efficient from the high level of insulation and double glazing throughout. A huge workshop, a double garage, a studio accommodation, a large farm shed, a small horse arena, well fenced pastures, a private native forest, a fern gully and 3 dams, all make this property the complete package.

The road up to this property is a quaint picturesque country lane that leads to the timber gated entry welcoming you in. A white gravel driveway loops around a garden setting, providing seamless access into and out of the property. It becomes instantly evident that the home takes full advantage of the great views on offer. Out in front, your eyes are drawn down the valley over the rolling green hills, to Port Cygnet Bay in the distance. In the other direction, your own property creates a sensational vista with a deep valley that leads down to a winter creek and ferns, all framed by the surrounding forest backdrop.

The home exemplifies country opulence and yet is homely and welcoming. As you enter the long hallway invites you to come in and discover the country charm. There are 3 meter high ceilings and Tassie Oak floors throughout. Entering the open plan living you get a fantastic sense of space from the vaulted timber ceiling. Natural light floods the space from the large picture windows that perfectly frame the amazing views in all directions. Another feature is the stunning sandstone chimney wall which houses the Jetmaster open fire and built-in indoor wood fired pizza oven.

The kitchen has a touch of class with the smart Tassie Oak cabinetry complimented with subway tiles, black fittings and well integrated appliances. The island bench provides an uninterrupted surface, making it super useful and practical, whilst the cooker, sink and dishwasher are seamlessly integrated into the other side. Running the full length in behind the kitchen is a walk-in pantry, providing a huge amount of storage out of sight. Down one end of the living, a beautiful bay window captures the views. At the other end, French doors open out to the covered entertaining deck, connecting the indoors with the outdoors.

Down the hallway, a second lounge room makes an ideal snug and media room, with a faux fire for atmosphere and ease, and a TV cleverly positioned above the fireplace. This is a great space to retreat to after dinner with a whiskey, or sit back to watch a movie. There are 4 spacious bedrooms on offer, the master has an amazing walk-in-robe complete with built-in dressing table and an ensuite with a claw-foot bath and a view. The family bathroom, the mud room and a dedicated home office complete a very practical layout. The laundry has an external access and provides a 4th toilet, which is practical for when you are outdoors in the garden or entertaining on the deck.

A large sealed area connects the home with the garage/workshop/gym. Fully lined, insulated and complete with LED downlight throughout, this is very useful space for whatever you need extra room for. Orientated north, the roof here is solar ready should that be of interest. There is a double garage at one end with a remote roller door, and a one bedroom self-contained studio at the other. The studio will be super practical for your visiting family and guests to have their own space during their stay. The old dairy nearby has been lovingly done-up and forms great extra storage for the garden implements and the mower.

The property is well fenced with 3 separate paddocks. There are small dams down in the gully and the original old barn has been totally renovated, making it great as the machinery shed for a tractor, the farm ute and hay store. The stockyards are new too and down the bottom paddock, there is a horse arena with the original old stable. The property is good to go for running sheep or cows, or you may want horses. Alternatively keep it simple and just get the hay cut once a year. There is a large section of forest to explore and towering man ferns along the winter creek, this really is a very picturesque and diverse property.

Only 5 minutes from the very popular Cygnet township, you will find all your country town shops and services, along with some great eateries and art galleries too. Port Cygnet Bay is a joy for yachties and kayaking. The hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville is 20 minutes away, with Hobart around 45 minutes over the mountain.
