8520 Channel Highway, Woodstock, Tas 7109

Perched up high on your own 22 acres (8.913ha), you overlook your own lush rolling pastures from this vantage point. The Georgian inspired home captures expansive views up and down the Huon River, from 'Sleeping Beauty' in the Wellington Range at one end of the Valley to the Hartz Mountains that poke out over the hills down the other end of the Valley. This is a truly special position and a beautiful property that is well fenced into multiple paddocks, ideal for sheep, goats, cows or horses. Whatever you would like. Alternatively, just cut hay and enjoy a slower lifestyle.

As you arrive at the gated entrance at the bottom of the property. The house sits proud at the top of a long winding driveway that leads up past lush pastures, to a large flat landing where the 2007 built home takes you back to the 1700s. Taking inspiration from the Georgian era has created a grand and impressive home, all the while maintaining modern comforts such as good insulation and double glazing throughout. You are greeted at the front door, beneath a double balcony feature, welcoming you to come in and explore the 3 levels of living.

You are greeted by a foyer entrance on entering, that leads through to a very spacious lounge, complete with a cozy wood fire for natural warmth and provides a lovely atmosphere. The ceilings are extra high throughout the home, adding to that authentic period feel. From here, double doors connect the lounge with the large open plan dining room and kitchen. Featuring Blackwood timber that brings a vibrant richness, offset with black bench tops, the kitchen is also fitted with quality built in appliances including a double wall oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is a huge amount of space here for the banquet table ready for feasts with your friends and family. French doors open out to a paved patio, framed by a formal garden setting, extending the inside entertaining to the outside.

Completing the ground floor is a bathroom for ease of access for guests and the laundry, as well as a snug, a great second living to retreat to with a good whiskey, or a cup of tea and a book. The real feature is the grand staircase that beckons you up to the next level. Up here there are 3 spare bedrooms with a family bathroom and a separate powder room, as well as the master bedroom. The master suite comes with access to the balcony from the bedroom and the ensuite bathroom, further enhancing the panoramic vista of the valley and river below. Completing this middle level is a clever use of space for the home office, a great position away from the hustle of the ground floor, neatly tucked away amongst the bedrooms. The fabulous timber stairs then invite you up to the final floor. Up here there is a 'loft' feel to a landing and another 2 bedrooms.

Attached to the home is a huge double garage, which is super practical for the family vehicles. Across the large gravel parking area is where the big American Barn farm shed and the machinery and hay store sheds are located. These provide all the space you need for the tractor and implements, the workshop and general storage. The middle door is extra high, ideal for the motorhome or caravan. Behind this is a dam, providing gravity fed water to the paddocks. Really well set-up and made easy to manage, this is a farm that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of a rural country lifestyle, without the high maintenance. Set up your fruit trees, and veggie patches and be self-sufficient, there is already a sturdy chicken coop in the back yard to get you started.

Positioned between the main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville and on-route to the vibrant Cygnet, makes this a very practical and desirable location, close to shops and services, including supermarkets, doctors, cafes and restaurants. Hobart is accessible within 40 minutes to the CBD.
