This generous utility space presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a work-from-home setup, home office, creative studio or additional flexible living space. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, both enjoying lovely natural light, excellent storage and peaceful outlooks into the surrounding treetops. One bedroom features beautiful polished Myrtle floorboards, adding yet another touch of Tasmanian character. Dormer windows and charming little nooks add to the upstairs appeal, while a second bathroom featuring a separate bath and shower provides additional convenience. Adding to the home's appeal is a spacious attic, accessed via a ladder and complete with timber flooring and lighting, offering valuable additional storage space. Practicality hasn't been overlooked, with a carport offering internal access to the home and room to accommodate up to two vehicles. **Explore Your Own Private Bushland Sanctuary** Step outside and discover established paths meandering through the beautifully maintained natural bush setting, with thoughtful little nooks along the way inviting you to stop, sit and soak up your surroundings.

The grounds offer an abundance of practical features, including two garden/tool sheds and two woodsheds, currently stocked with stored dry firewood, with a plentiful supply of additional firewood available from the property. For added peace of mind, extensive water points are located throughout the property to assist with bushfire suppression. Those with a green thumb will appreciate the wire-caged fruit and vegetable garden, while two natural creeks wind their way through the property following rainfall, adding another lovely element to this beautiful bushland setting. Nature lovers will be captivated by the abundance of native plants and wildlife, including plentiful birdlife, creating a wonderfully peaceful environment where you can truly reconnect with nature. **A Unique Lifestyle Opportunity with Exciting Potential** With travellers increasingly seeking stays that offer an experience rather than simply somewhere to sleep, the individuality and enchanting surrounds of 65 Durkins Road could lend themselves beautifully to a boutique Airbnb or destination-style retreat (STCA).
