14 Riverview Lane, Huonville, Tas 7109

Perched up high on the Ridgeline, the views from this commanding position are simply amazing! Overlooking the Huonville township, the Huon River and the whole Valley below, with the Wellington mountain range as the backdrop, this is arguably one of the best positions along the ridge.  Consisting of 1042m2, every part of this property is landscaped with a home offering a dual living option. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the main level and a separate, self-contained 1 bedroom apartment unit underneath, totalling 271m2 of living, plus a garage, workshop space and storage options.

Positioned near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you are greeted with a concreted driveway and parking area to the double carport. It then wraps around the side of the home to the garage below and provides independent access to the downstairs living area. Level access into the main part of the house is next to the carport. On entering, the expansive views are instantly evident across the sunken lounge, welcoming you in to explore.

The open plan living, dining and kitchen benefit from large picture windows that not only beautifully frame the incredible panoramic vistas, but also welcome in plenty of natural light to fill the space. Taking full advantage of a the northern aspect, the home will get lovely sunlight throughout the day in the cooler months when the sun is low in the sky, then shade when it is high in the summer, creating a passive solar efficiency. Energy efficiency is further enhanced with a massive solar array, cutting back your power bills.

The sunken lounge provides a snug and interesting appeal to the space. To the side there is plenty of room for a large family dining table. Set in the back corner, the new kitchen is well positioned to be inclusive within the main living. This is a very large, practical kitchen with plenty of bench space and storage, making it ideal when entertaining.

Direct access to the balcony leads around to the entertaining deck. This is an incredible area that never fails to inspire. It will  impress your visitors and provide you with a fantastic spot to enjoy the ever changing panorama throughout the changing seasons. The River below looks so close, you almost feel like you can reach down and touch it. The mountains in the distance will sometimes have snow, with Sleeping Beauty as the central feature. The valley will change colours, turning golden in the Autumn and vibrant green in spring.

Cleverly thought through, the floor plan flows really well and ensures all the rooms can benefit from the views. The master bedroom, with recently upgraded ensuite and walk-in-robe, has direct access to the entertaining deck. The other bedrooms have windows facing the vista too and share a, completely new family bathroom complete with a free standing bath and spacious, separate shower. One bedroom is currently set-up as a very quiet and private home office.

Originally built in 1996, this super solid home has had renovations and upgrades over the years, making it a very comfortable and appealing modern home. A slow combustion wood fire provides a wonderful atmosphere as well as a lovely warmth and a reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep you comfortable with ease throughout the year. A smart heat transfer system circulates the heat to the bedrooms.

Down the stairs, there is a separate accommodation, perfect for visiting friends, extended family, or an aging parent or short term lets. Here, there is a separate lounge, kitchen/dining, bedroom and bathroom. There is also another big room great for storage or could be yet another bedroom if required. The apartment enjoys a covered and more sheltered terrace with its own spectacular views over the lawn and valley. There is vehicle access to this area, plenty of room to park a car or two downstairs and separate door access allowing for complete independence. Maybe set it up to provide an extra income.

The backyard is well fenced, providing a flat grassy area to enjoy in all seasons. The gardens are lovely and yet low-maintenance. A gate in the fence leads out to the edge of the ridge which is terraced for easy access. You really do feel like you are on top of the world up here looking straight down the river and beyond.

Huonville is the main hub for the Huon Valley, providing you with all the shops and services you are likely to need. This is a great central location to enjoy all the good things that make the Huon so wonderful, including the culture of Cygnet, the history and wooden boats of Franklin, the produce at Geeveston and the beaches of Dover. Hobart is only a 30 minute drive away should you need to commute to work or simply want to enjoy a night out in the city.
