A rare opportunity is on offer at 109 Crabtree Road, providing you with a lifestyle change full of opportunity and self-sufficiency, located just 25 minutes from the Hobart CBD. The main residence is a warm and inviting four bedroom home with study or fifth bedroom with two bathrooms and two living areas, spanning over two levels with serene views out of each window. The galley style kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances including a new 900mm stainless steel European gas cook top and electric oven, range hood and dishwasher. The lower level living areas are open plan in design and features timber French doors that lead out to 60m2 of timber decking to enjoy alfresco dining overlooking the rural ambience or to entertain family and friends. The lower level also contains the study or fifth bedroom, laundry and bathroom. Head up to the upper level where you will find a second living area or rumpus, four bedrooms and the upper level bathroom for convenience. Economy also springs to mind as the home is fully insulated and is connected to gas hot water with the bonus of a heat pump hot water cylinder connected to reduce power consumption. There is also a new one bedroom villa unit on site featuring double glazed windows, full insulation, open plan living and a timber deck – perfect for the extended family. The unit is currently leased at $200 per week and the tenant would like to stay on where viable. Storage is not of a concern and outbuildings include a sizable 205m2 consisting of 5 bays with single phase power connection, water connection and toilet facilities plus an additional 5 bay tractor storage shed at the rear of the garage for hay storage or large vehicles, horse floats, boats or machinery. This property was formally utilised for show horses and is well equipped with additional infrastructure for those wanting to work or train horses. There is a sizable wash bay with cement slab and water connection and a shaded 50 x 40 metre (approximately) post and rail fenced arena nearby to the wash bay. There is also a cleared riding track around the boundary of the property, great for working the horses or taking a leisurely bush walk yourself. The hens are thriving and they are free range with their own hen house to get out of the elements with our sporadic Tassie weather. Enjoy fresh fruit, vegetables and nuts, stone fruit, mulberry and small fruits when in season from your very own mini orchard and there is plenty of level fertile areas to choose from so you can plant more fruit and nut trees or anything your heart desires. Additional features on the property include a hand made smoking oven and a compost area for fertilizing the gardens. The large land holding of 50 acres consists of approximately 30 acres of lush, mostly level pasture fenced into 7 paddocks, complete with Eucalypt windbreaks and the balance land is light bush. There are fenced lane ways between each paddock and the whole boundary is accessible by vehicle for ease of maintenance. The house and unit are also internally fenced with child and pet safety in mind. Water is in abundance with town water supply connected, 2 tanks, a 1 mega litre dam that gravity feeds water to all troughs in each paddock and a fire fighting tank is on site for added safety. The property was running Galloway cows and is currently home to horses however the northerly aspect enhances choice of other ventures including viticulture, permaculture or orcharding. To assist with maintaining the farm, there is a 50 HP tractor and slasher that can be negotiated on separately. Enjoy the many varieties of fauna, including bird life, owls and gliders just to name a few. Privacy is assured as the title is an internal title and the property can not be seen from the road. This property is truly exception and as previously mentioned, it is a rare offering located in a delightful, serene suburb of the Huon Valley providing that country lifestyle change you have been waiting to secure with the added benefit of dual residency for the extended family or accommodation requirements.
