The north facing home is set on a flat (yet elevated) area, with Mount Koonya as the backdrop. Featuring double glazing throughout and insulation in walls, ceiling and under the floor it's cosy in winter. Strategically placed windows give cross flow ventilation on warm days in summer. The master bedroom with roomy walk-in robe and lovely views to Mount Koonya is not just a place for sleeping. How about choosing recipes that use veggies from the garden while propped up gazing at the view on lazy mornings. Second bedroom has plenty of room for a queen size or two sets of bunk beds and a robe. The large picture window captures glorious sunsets and many visitors have sipped their first morning brew gazing across at the hills to the north west. The very spacious lounge and dining area faces north for passive solar gain with 6 metres of glazing including sliding doors onto the generous deck with outdoor dining area. A roomy kitchen with gas cooking and an Everhot Deluxe combustion cooker with water jacket ready to install. A Beasley Hot Water tank is stored in the shed and included. Step out the back door onto the deck where there is a line of timber herb boxes filled to the brim with parsley, mint, oregano, thyme, chives, thai basil and garlic chives. A spacious tiled bathroom includes separate shower, long bathtub, WC and basin and can be the perfect haven with candlelight after a productive day in the garden or shed. No need to be concerned about water either with 3 tanks holding 30,000L of pure clean rainwater linked to both the shed and house. The home has lots of scope and room to add those extra bedrooms or studio and plenty of opportunity to make it feel your own. Other features of the house include: Connected to the grid but no nasty power lines to look at. These run under ground from the shed on the south side of the house in a deep trench to the house. Bosch instantaneous gas hot water and LPG line into the house for the gas cooker and floor bayonet. A large walk-in pantry fully lined with shelving and cool. Spacious tiled entry where you kick off boots in the winter or hang sun hats in the summer. Efficient wood combustion heater with large flat top surface great for simmering casseroles in the colder months. THE LAND The boundary is fully fenced with ringlock plus two single strands above in excellent condition. A submersible solar pump pushes spring water from one of 2 spring fed dams to a header tank which in turn gravity feeds to all stock troughs, garden taps, chook drinkers and fruit tree dripper irrigation delivered through 1 and a half inch pipe. Average annual rainfall is 40" over 1016mm Divided into 8 lush green paddocks for grazing livestock, (one with a shed). The creek flows 10 months of the year. This is an iIdeal property for sheep, cattle, goats, vineyard or orchard. It has also been a free range egg farm. Four 'A' frame mobile hen houses are included, each houses 180-200 hens. One small paddock cut 22 four foot bales of good grass hay in December 2015. The south east corner of the property, about 6 acres, naturally grows gums and wattle which is good firewood. Close to 10 acres of pasture is separated by Marsh Road and is ideal when it's necessary to separate a ram, bull etc from the girls. This part of the title could so easily be subdivided and an agent gave it a market appraisal of $90,000. A survey of the title is available. THE GARDEN Spending time in the veggie patch brings unexpected rewards. Often a bird will fly overhead and you can actually hear the wind through its wings. Seriously! It really is quiet here. The patch is divided into three sections. One is used for growing the years veggies. The other two house the chooks. Hens and rooster in one, young feathered chicks growing into pullets in the other. The following year walk into the section the chooks have prepared for you and move them on. How easy is that? Each of the three sections has a garden tap, chicken drinker with float (no need to manually fill them) and a small chicken house (can be moved around). The chooks are so happy when being fed their daily grain and it's so easy to throw them treats and weeds from the growing area. They love kale, cabbage, pumpkin seeds and carrots and will eat most veggies. Turn a bucket over to make a seat and spend twenty minutes watching their antics. The range of sounds a mother hen makes to instruct her chicks is amazing and they will all snuggle under her feathers and vanish if she tells them to. The 3 x 3m garden shed is next to the enclosed veggie patch. One wall is fitted with shelves, one for hanging garden tools leaving lots of floor space. There is a stainless steel bench with sink just outside for cleaning veggies before heading back to the house plus a bench for potting up, sowing seedling trays and other tasks. There is even another netted enclosure for hens with chicks, an extra rooster perhaps or sometimes to house the dogs for a day while you go fishing or play a round of golf. Have you yearned for fruit trees? In three rows there are 24 dwarf varieties happily growing in a new espalier system. Watered by simply turning the timer around on your way to feed the chooks and chosen for their flavour. Apples, pears, cherries, plums, quince, peach, nectarine and varieties that produce for 6 months of the year. Good job there's lots of room in the pantry to store all those jars of jam, chutney, pickles and bottled fruits. THE SHED The colorbond shed measuring 17.5m x 7m has a concrete floor, two windows, power and its own hot water service providing lots of potential for workshop, storage or guest accommodation. There is lots of freestanding shelving included as well as fixed shelving. Several light panels in the roof ensure there is lots of natural light. At night the fluoros are adequate. The bay at one end can be used for a boat, tractor or hay storage. At one time a happy family of goats with kids called it home. The shed is accessed via 3 roller doors, one pedestrian door and also a glass sliding door. THE LOCAL AREA There are three cafes in Nubeena alone with another two near Port Arthur. All serve lovely breakfast and lunches. Several Peninsula venues are open for dinner and serve locally farmed oysters, mussels, fresh caught fish and Tassie grown meats, vegetables, fruits and berries.
