A PROPERTY like this acreage, just minutes from Sorell, is hard to find.
It ticks the boxes for lifestyle, comfort, space, flexibility … the list winds on and on.
On its 1.47ha allotment there is a large 1980-style five-bedroom house, plus a single-bedroom unit and a two-room two-storey stone cottage.
But wait there’s more. The property is also home to a fully operational joinery shop.
It is certainly far more than your typical offering.
The primary residence features the luxury of a master bedroom with an ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe.
Three more bedrooms are located nearby, most with built-ins plus a family bathroom with a tub.
A total charmer.
So much space.
Along a central hall there is a family room, laundry, a studio or home office, the kitchen and then a large living area spanning 7.4m x 5.8m.
In the open plan living area there is Indian slate throughout and a gorgeous, full length veranda that runs the length of the front of the house.
Located at the rear of the home with easy access to the kitchen, is a large paved undercover pergola — perfect for outdoor entertaining.
The single-bedroom self-contained unit would be ideal for elderly parents, as a teenager’s space or it could be used as a rental if desired.
The stone cottage would be an inspiring space for an artist to use as a studio or rural accommodation with some minor modifications.
That fire looks fabulous.
So much room.
The joinery shop including woods stocks of Huon pine, sassafras and blackwood and it has an adjoining single carport.
There is also a double-sized Colorbond garage with a three-phase generator.
The fertile allotment sits adjacent to vineyards and has six fully fenced paddocks with numerous outbuildings and a large dam currently home to a variety of birdlife.
Outbuildings include a 16-foot container, a barn and a cubby house, alongside a hothouse, dog kennel, seven pig pens and a stable.
The next owner of this property can expect to receive no water bills as the property has large water tanks.
Walnut, cherry, greengage, pear trees and grapevines are peppered around the property.
The location is impressive with easy access to beaches, fishing spots, boating, surfing and swimming all just minutes away.
Maybe bigger is better after all.
The joinery shop.
Being so close to Sorell, every service and amenity is also at the fingertips of Forcett homeowners. Plus the airport is about a 20-minute drive or you can be in Hobart in about half an hour.
“Minutes from the coast and boasting beautiful rural views, this property covers all the bases and will get your brain buzzing as its potential is endless,” said PRD Hobart property representative Kevin Spaulding.
“The current owner, a magnificent craftsman, would like to sell the property fully furnished including all the exquisite handmade statement pieces.”
