Quietly set within the peaceful landscape of Gardners Bay, this beautifully restored property offers a rare sense of ease, balance and timeless appeal. Thoughtfully enhanced and carefully maintained, it reflects a considered approach to living - one that values quality, comfort and a deep connection to its surroundings.
Clad in freshly painted macrocarpa weatherboards, the home presents a crisp, refined exterior that sits comfortably within its garden setting. Inside, a calm, neutral palette creates a cohesive and inviting atmosphere, allowing light and proportion to define each space. The kitchens and bathrooms have been tastefully upgraded, offering contemporary functionality while remaining in harmony with the home's character.
The residence is arranged across two distinct wings, each featuring its own kitchen, bathroom and living area. This flexible layout provides exceptional versatility, ideal for multigenerational living, extended family stays, guest accommodation or potential short-term rental use. The design achieves this adaptability without compromising privacy, flow or overall cohesion.
At the centre of the main wing is a well-appointed chef's kitchen, complete with modern appliances and a wood-fired oven - a practical yet character-rich feature that enhances both everyday living and entertaining. Living areas extend seamlessly to the expanded outdoor deck, where a gazebo offers an elegant space for relaxed dining and evening gatherings, perfectly positioned to enjoy the late afternoon sun.
The gardens are a defining feature of the property, unfolding as a series of private, thoughtfully landscaped outdoor rooms. Rose gardens, ferns, established sculptured plantings and a distinctive heart-shaped lily pond with seating create spaces for quiet reflection and enjoyment. A mature fruit orchard produces apples, pears, persimmons, cherries, quince, apricots, peacherines and plums, complemented by possum-proof vegetable gardens that support a productive, self-sufficient lifestyle. A bespoke chicken coop with stained glass detailing adds a subtle, artistic touch.
Four fully fenced and gated paddocks provide scope for hobby farming or small agricultural pursuits, while a collection of outbuildings enhances the property's functionality and charm. An artist's studio with wood fire and toilet offers a private, comfortable creative space, alongside a character-filled potting shed with stained glass windows. Several preserved historic outbuildings remain from the home's original construction offering a meaningful connection to the site's heritage.
Despite its tranquil setting, the location remains highly convenient. The vibrant township of Cygnet is less than 10 minutes away, celebrated for its artisan cafés, galleries, local markets and strong community spirit. Huonville lies just 20 minutes from the property, with Kingston approximately 40 minutes away, providing straightforward access to Hobart and essential services.
Rarely does a property combine flexibility, refinement and a sense of place so effortlessly. This is a home of substance and quiet sophistication, offering a lifestyle defined by comfort, beauty and enduring appeal.
