Tucked away in the scenic hills of Collinsvale and just 25 minutes from Hobart's CBD, this rare lifestyle property is more than a home, it's an experience. Offering exceptional dual-living flexibility, beautifully maintained gardens, a thriving orchard with a vast variety of fruit and one of Tasmania's most delightful hidden gems - the globally adored GuineaVale - this one-of-a-kind sanctuary strikes the ideal balance between rural charm and modern convenience.
Set upon 2.477ha of immaculately manicured grounds, the main residence is a two-level home featuring captivating river and mountain vistas. The second dwelling offers self-contained independence - suitable for multi-generational families, guest accommodation or short-stay potential.
Step inside the main home to discover a warm and inviting atmosphere, filled with natural light and panoramic outlooks. The upper level has four bedrooms, family bathroom and separate powder room, the main bedroom with a private sitting area, easily doubling as a walk-in robe or working from home setup.
Downstairs, huge picture windows in the main living and dining area beautifully frame the views. A spacious eat-in kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a wealth of storage and a utility-free island bench/breakfast bar, while the large laundry and adjacent bathroom add everyday convenience.
Connected via a covered carport, the fully self-contained second dwelling with separate entrance includes its own living room with wood heater, kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom with built-in robe and adjacent powder room.
Enjoy the changing colours of the seasons across the stunning landscape, where established gardens and sculpted hedges border paved walkways and a collection of patios and covered outdoor areas invite outdoor entertaining with friends and family.
And then, of course, there's GuineaVale. Originally intended as little lawnmowers for the orchard, these sweet animals now call "GuineaVale" home - a fully enclosed miniature village internationally loved as a tiny guinea pig paradise. Complete with pint-sized cottages, picnic tables and a white picket fence, it's both a viral sensation and a joyful testament to this property's creativity and care.
