Inspection by Private Appointment Nestled in the picturesque Plenty Valley, “Bridge House” has stood watching over the beautiful hamlet along the Plenty River since around 1898. The classically styled and meticulously maintained homestead has an incredible ensemble of features that are unmatched in this setting. Ten minutes from New Norfolk and forty-five minutes from Hobart, the Plenty Valley is a fertile former berry and hop growing region, dotted with quaint homes and farms. With a separate two-bedroom chalet, sauna, wine cellar, around nineteen acres of bushland (over two titles), workshop, garages, hot house, polytunnel and multiple outdoor entertaining areas- this is an extensive property. Tucked between the natural beauty of the Plenty River where you can enjoy a spot of trout fishing and walks along the moss-covered rainforest glade of Wiltons Creek; the property has the ever-present soundtrack of gently flowing water. The style of this house has been well matched with modern convenience to create a stunning home. The entry pairs a classic period frontage and gentle staircase with a sunny deck overlooking the Plenty River. The home is a testament to craftsmanship with timber highlights throughout. Locally milled Tas Oak floorboards have been lovingly polished, inset bookshelves, picture rails, architraves and door frames to match. The original buildings floorplan is largely intact, with beautifully maintained pressed tin ceilings in the kitchen and hallway. Later extensions to the home include the lounge, large office, mud room and laundry. The country kitchen is an inviting and embracing centre for the home. With a sort after fully functional Everhot combustion stove (that includes the hot water system)- this home retains the qualities that many have sadly lost. With modern conveniences such as a dishwasher and gas cooktop, catering for a large family or groups will be a joy. The Formal Dining Room is private and perfect for hosting intimate dinner parties. With a well-appointed family bathroom, home office, mudroom and internal laundry- the house has all bases covered. Through the kitchen a comfortable lounge opens into an expansive outdoor covered entertaining area. At the back of the house there is a courtyard dominated by an old walnut tree. This area is home to the quaint two storey, fully self-contained, two-bedroom chalet- that even includes a sauna. The chalet is currently being used to produce an income through short stay accommodation. The courtyard is also home to the lovingly constructed wine cellar and a large entertaining pagoda. Winding walking tracks have been painstakingly established along Wiltons Creek that falls almost forty metres in elevation throughout the property. This moss-covered rainforest is the perfect place to wander and explore. The property has an unlimited domestic water supply from both the Plenty River and Wiltons Creek. Gravity fed water tanks provide a reliable household supply and the property is well serviced by an extensive system of pipes, sprinklers and taps. The majority of the land is covered in native bush, with an area at the top cleared as a peaceful retreat. Firewood is easily gathered over the approximately 7.85 hectares (19 acres). Behind a quaint glass house there is a large workshop with vehicle access (4th garage), a conjoined double garage and a separate single garage. Properties of this calibre rarely appear on the market, so to avoid disappointment please book a Private Inspection.
