9 Fords Road, Geeveston, Tas 7116

Situated on a quiet no-through road just moments from the heart of Geeveston, this beautifully restored residence effortlessly combines historic charm with the comfort and functionality of a modern family home. Originally built in 1880 as the Church Manse, the home has been extensively rebuilt and renovated to a high standard, resulting in a warm and welcoming property with a flexible layout and generous outdoor space. Set on over 2,000 square metres of elevated, park-like grounds the property offers plenty of space for children and pets to run around amongst established Birch trees, ornamental pears, and a large selection of natives. A brand new two-car garage with an adjoining workshop adds practicality and storage options, ideal for trades, hobbyists, or simply secure parking. A separate studio and original garden shed/workshop provide even more flexibility for creative pursuits or working from home.

Inside, the home is full of natural light and character. High ceilings, polished timber floors, French doors, and a pressed tin ceiling in the kitchen speak to its heritage, while features such as reverse-cycle air conditioning, a heat-transfer system, excellent insulation, and modern fixtures ensure complete comfort throughout the seasons. The large kitchen is a standout, with chic marble-look benchtops, quality appliances, and a walk-in pantry offering both style and practicality. There’s ample space here for a large table, making it the perfect gathering point for family and friends, or as a simple and cozy breakfast nook. Throughout the house, custom-made plantation shutters have been fitted, as well as linen drapes and luxurious wool carpets contrasted with polished Tasmanian Oak floors, giving this home a warm and luxurious feel. 

The main bathroom and ensuite are both beautifully finished, featuring crisp white subway tiles, a deep soaking tub in the main bathroom, and timeless finishes in timber with rich navy tones. The master bedroom includes a walk-in robe and ensuite, while two additional bedrooms have access to the charming front verandah. A versatile fourth bedroom could be used as a sunroom, children’s playroom, or home office. The 2 living spaces are generous, with the lounge featuring a stunning Dutch-style ceiling, and a second living and dining area with original freestanding brick fireplace which flows out to the rear deck via French doors creating a wonderful, private entertaining area to while away an afternoon. 

The grounds are sunny and elevated, offering a peaceful outlook over surrounding farmland and hills. There’s plenty of space for veggie patches, fruit trees, and a few chickens, as well as enjoying the well established deciduous trees scattered around the yard . A sweet cubby house doubles as a garden shed, and an undercover area next to the studio and workshop is perfect for storing firewood.

There is potential here for further value with the option to subdivide the block or to construct a second dwelling for extended family or additional income in the future, all subject to Council approval, of course.

Perfectly positioned on the edge of town, it’s just a short stroll to Geeveston’s main street, with cafés, shops, parks and the river boasting a few resident platypus. On the first Thursday of every month, the Geeveston feast offers up an array of food and drink options in the town supporting local chefs and artisans, and is a great place to catch up with friends and family. This is a home with genuine heart, where the details have been carefully considered and the lifestyle on offer is both peaceful and practical. Located just over 20 minutes drive from the Huon Valley hub of Huonville, and under an hour drive from Hobart CBD.
