Situated at the end of a quiet no-through road, this low-maintenance colourbond home is tucked away in a peaceful, private setting in one of the Huon Valley's most picturesque and tightly held townships. Located beside the beautiful St Johns Church and just moments from the historic riverside village of Franklin, the property offers a rare lifestyle blend of village charm, rural space, and established natural beauty, only 10 minutes from Huonville and approximately 40 minutes from Hobart.
Surrounded by larger acreage properties and framed by rolling hills, mountain backdrops, and glimpses across the valley and Huon River, this setting feels wonderfully secluded while still remaining connected to community, schools, and services.
One of the true highlights of the property is the remarkable collection of mature, productive fruit trees and gardens that surround the home. Years of careful planting have created a thriving orchard environment that would take decades to replicate. The established varieties include apples, figs, persimmons, greengage plums, nashi pears, plums, nectarines, peaches, apricots, almonds, olives, and many more. All are well established, allowing you to enjoy the rewards immediately without the years of waiting. The gardens provide both beauty and abundance, creating a genuine farm-to-table lifestyle right at your doorstep.
The home itself offers easy, low-maintenance living and features three bedrooms and an open plan kitchen, living, and dining area that connects beautifully to the outdoors. A sunny north-facing deck captures all day light and provides a wonderful space to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the peaceful outlook over the surrounding landscape. Solar panels add efficiency, while the elevated position delivers some lovely views across the mountains, hills, and river. Town water is connected, complemented by a permanent flowing prices creek with a pump and riparian rights, plus a dam on the property that both support the gardens and pasture.
The land is thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones. At the front, the home, orchard, and established gardens create a private and productive living environment. Beyond this lies approximately six acres of usable pasture, complete with excellent shelter trees and deciduous willows around the dam, well suited to a couple of horses, small livestock, or hobby farming. At the rear of the property, mature native bushland rises up the hillside, offering privacy, abundant birdlife, and walking opportunities, along with elevated points that capture sweeping views across the Huon River and valley.
A colourbond garage and workshop with side annex provides excellent storage and workspace options for vehicles, tools, and rural equipment. Just a short walk or drive to Franklin's riverside cafés, marina, and community life, as well as the popular Franklin Primary School, this property delivers the best of both worlds. It offers the charm and convenience of village living combined with the freedom, space, and versatility of a genuine lifestyle holding.
8 Church Street presents a rare opportunity to secure an affordable acreage-style property in the heart of historic Franklin, where orchard living, open pasture, native bushland, water security, and sweeping scenery come together in one exceptional Huon Valley setting.
