58 Pottery Road, Garden Island Creek, Tas 7112

Tucked away within a beautiful native forest setting, this property has the benefit of not just one, but 2 charming mud brick dwellings. There is a workshop with carport and storage, a veggie growing area, a chicken coop enclosure and a fabulous outdoor entertaining fire pit area. Sitting amongst a wonderfully secluded 10 acres (4.042ha) with Garden Island Creek as the boundary, there is a lot to fall in love with here.

Located not far from the vibrant township of Cygnet and just around the corner from some of the most gorgeous beaches at Randalls Bay and Verona Sands, this great position is not only super private, but also provides great diversity. A quaint country road leads you off the Channel Hwy, winding its way into the forest where you are welcomed by the lovely natural setting that surrounds this property.

You may not want to leave the property though. A small winter creek passes through the property, named Lobster Hole Creek. A track leads you up into the forest allowing you to immerse yourself with in the tall gums. In the other direction, the track leads you to a large clearing along the banks of the Garden Island Creek itself as the boundary for 400m. There are swimming holes for cooling off in summer and other nooks to simply enjoy the beauty of nature. Be patient and the resident platypus may come out to say hello.

Hand crafted by 2 brothers who set out to built a community named 'Devine Light' back in the late 1970s, these homes are packed with character and intrigue. The mud brick contrasts well with the timber work creating a wonderful textural finish that blends in with the natural surrounds. The main residence is set on 2 levels. A clever covered entry welcome you in through the stained glass front door. Inside, there are large natural beams made of whole trees, timber floors throughout and many beautiful features.

The open plan living has a slow combustion wood fire that will keep you snug and warm on the cooler nights as well as adding a lovely atmosphere. A reverse cycle air-conditioner will otherwise provide easy year round comfort. Tucked around the corner is the kitchen and dining area that enjoy plenty of natural light from the picture windows and French doors that overlook the garden. A 900mm gas top stove is a real feature as is the full walk-in-pantry.

Completing the lower level is the bathroom with a separate bath and shower. The stained glass window over the vanity is just amazing. Up the stairs, there are 4 bedrooms of various sizes. The roofline adds great appeal, introducing interesting shapes to the rooms and windows. Some have built-in furniture, also crafted from timber. Configure the spaces up here to suit your needs, set up the home office or create a reading room, the spaces are ready for whatever you need them for.

The second dwelling is just as charming. Connected with a pathway to the laundry, yet perfectly separated, this provides a great opportunity for multi generational living. Over here there are another 3 bedrooms on offer with a cozy lounge and super quaint kitchen that has recently being renovated. A clever dining spot near the kitchen window that opens out to the garden will no doubt become your favourite spot to sit with a good cup of tea. Above, there is a quint little attic that has been lined and accessible from outside or from the lounge with a ladder.

Just down from the homes, a wonderful fire pit area will provide a fantastic spot for family and friends to gather around. Shelters provide great wood storage. Around the other side, there is the potting shed and poly tunnel veggie growing area and chicken enclosure. Grow your own food and enjoy farm fresh eggs. You can be as self-sufficient as you choose here. Down the bottom, the workshop is all set up for tinkering. Here there is a double carport as well as a practical secure storage.

This property really is a surprise package that just keeps giving.
