All these wonderful lifestyle options are at your fingertips here, just a 6-7 minute drive from all the services in Sorell and a 30-35 minute drive from the CBD. On a day or weekend off, you have a picturesque day trip to the beaches, wineries and tourist attractions of the East Coast, Coal River Valley and Tasman Peninsula all within a stone's throw.
If you're yearning to get your children off their devices and offer them an amazing, engaged, interactive childhood, one with places to run and explore, a horse to ride, trees to climb, a paddock to bash, a stream to pop a line in, all these experiences, and more, are available here.
The homestead is set back from the main road past the historic Shepherd's Hut at the entrance. The hut is timber lined and is a perfect studio space or a cosy nook for reading or a quiet glass of wine as you step back in time to a simpler life. Just beyond the hut is the Orielton Rivulet, and crossing the bridge takes you into a world of your own.
Set on a mostly flat allotment of 5.4ha (13.3 acres), this farmlet enjoys an attractive, 5 bedroom Cape Cod style homestead. Polished timber floors extend throughout the main level of the home. The living area is semi-open, enjoying that small degree of separation between the kitchen/dining and the living. This is a lovely layout if you have small children, it's easy to keep a watchful eye on little ones when you're in the kitchen, as they play safely nearby. The kitchen epitomises a "country kitchen" with timber cabinetry, a generous pantry and good storage and preparation areas. The dining area adjoins the kitchen with ample windows to bathe the space in sun. Additionally, on this level is a double bedroom, laundry, bathroom and separate w/c.
A pergola with northerly aspect presents a fabulous space for outdoor entertainment, a private setting to enjoy a cool drink on a summer's afternoon, or to sit around the fire pit on a cool evening. This area is fully fenced ensuring a safe and secure play area for children or dogs (and to keep the garden safe from cheeky livestock!) Of course, it wouldn't be a homestead without a verandah, and this is offered on the opposite side of the home, where you enjoy a view to the peaceful countryside and neighbouring farms and shade on a warm summer's day.
Upstairs, you'll discover a generous Master bedroom with ample built-in robes. There are a further 3 good sized bedrooms on this level. With so many bedrooms, you have the flexibility to choose one as a study or home office. There is also another w/c on this level.
Of course, this property really is about the wonderful outdoors and the fabulous lifestyle opportunity that exists here. It is a perfect property for horses, sheep and goats with electric fencing, fresh water from the spring-fed rivulet, and shelter provided by trees and structures. Additionally, excellent fencing has been erected to offer large, secure exercise areas for dogs, or potentially for horticultural purposes. There are some very picturesque places for quiet reflection or a spot of bird-watching along the rivulet which runs through the property at front and rear.
There is a generous shed (with 3-phase power) perfect for machinery storage, a workshop or cars. Also, there is a cute chalet (with w/c, bathroom and kitchen) which may be used as a utility space or studio, ideal for an artist or a work from home area separate from the main homestead. You might consider converting this to an ancillary dwelling or tourist accommodation (STCA).
Let's be honest, life is about LIVING and on a property like this, you will have a lifestyle. There is a small orchard for you to enjoy a variety of home-grown fruit and of course, acres of fertile land for whatever your heart desires.
This home is just that..... a home, not a house. A place to create beautiful memories to last a lifetime.
