Welcome to 15 Batchelors Road, a beautifully designed family home nestled in the picturesque suburb of Nicholls Rivulet, just minutes from Cygnet in the Huon Valley. This stunning property offers a unique combination of modern farmhouse elegance, blended perfectly with 1900's charm, and the result is spectacular. This impressive home is nestled on 2.883ha (7.12 acres) of fully fenced and gently undulating pasture with a rivulet boundary, easily maintained by a small flock of sheep, or livestock of your choice. In addition to the main residence, there is also a popular and stylish accommodation on site known as 'The Retreat' which provides a steady income from travellers throughout the year. This truly is the most idyllic property, perfect for those seeking both comfort and style whilst taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. 

As soon as you arrive at this property, you know it's going to be something special. As you walk inside, you are greeted by the light-filled and open living area, dining and kitchen which is all part of the newer, Oak clad extension. This swoon-worthy room offers beautiful timber beams, large picture windows and a gorgeous fireplace accented by recycled red bricks. The kitchen has been well designed with excellent cupboard space, double wall ovens, a large gas hob complete with pot-filling tap and fully integrated dishwasher. The kitchen also benefits from the hybrid Butler's pantry/laundry, which offers additional food storage, and space for a large double-door fridge, as well as linen press and laundry facilities. Just off the kitchen there is a spacious dining area with room for a large table; the perfect spot to gather with friends and family while you cook up a storm. This open plan living room also accommodates a chic guest and family bathroom, and a lovely lounge room with large stacking sliding doors opening onto the covered outdoor entertaining, creating seamless indoor/outdoor flow. 

The impressive farmhouse extension is integrated beautifully with the original 1900's cottage via a second living room. This smaller sitting room feels intimate and cozy with an old wood fire set in the home's original fireplace. This older section of the home is packed with original features including timber floorboards through the living room and hallway, wide decorative architraves and solid timber doors. The original cottage houses the home's 4 bedrooms; 3 large double rooms (one with ensuite) on the lower level and 1 on the attic level with adjoining home office and sitting area.

The outdoor spaces of this property are equally as impressive as the home itself. Off the main living area, large stacking sliding doors open onto an impressive covered entertaining area, offering ample space for summer barbecues, and the adjoining fire pit area for cozy winter gatherings. A low-maintenance backyard provides plenty of space for children and pets to play, with large established trees offering shady spots to relax in the warmer months, and stunning Autumn colour. This whole outdoor area is fully fenced ensuring your two and four legged friends can explore safely. There are several sheds onsite including a single garage with adjoining workshop, wood shed and garden shed, as well as an additional shed for storing animal feed. There is ample space to create veggie beds, grow fruit trees and run a few animals, creating a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle. The land has been secured with wallaby-proof fencing keeping the critters at bay, and ensuring you have the best opportunity for your gardens and paddocks to thrive. There is also a town water connection ensuring water security all year round. 

In addition to the impressive main residence, the property also offers a stylish and popular accommodation known as 'The Retreat' which offers a steady income throughout the year. The accommodation offers 1 bedroom, a full bathroom, kitchenette with dining area and spacious living room, all with beautiful countryside vistas. The accommodation is positioned a sufficient distance from the main residence ensuring guests (and the home owners!) have a peaceful stay.
