Positioned in a quiet rural setting and close to beaches, is this cute character cottage. With an interesting story, established gardens and a level fertile block of land, this could be your ideal escape located on the outskirts of the popular township of Cygnet.

The cottage was once the Garden Island Creek CWA (Country Women's Association) Hall and features the original floorboards and vertical timber cladding. The property was extended and transformed into a home by a previous owner in recent years, bringing everything up to modern standards with water tanks, a septic tank with an evaporation bed, solar hot water, double carport and much more.

The home boasts timber windows and beautiful French doors out to the Northern side where the full-length verandah offers the perfect place to soak up the sun all day. The character timber kitchen is part of the new extension and is positioned to capture morning and midday sun. It has views to the garden and the hills beyond and leads to the sun-filled living area.

The 3rd bedroom or study is semi-open to the lounge area and offers flexibility as a living, study or sleeping area. The main bedroom features built-in robes and has French doors to the verandah, again taking in midday and afternoon sunshine. The second bedroom is adjacent, with the separate toilet and bathroom centrally located across the hallway.

Established vines creeping over the verandah provide shade and grapes in the summer, colour in the autumn and extra light in the winter. Outside, the gardens offer a mix of fruit trees and natives, vegetable and flower gardens with plenty of room for the avid gardener to expand.

With a creek bordering the property, you can relax on the grassy banks overlooking the water hole, with its resident ducks, geese, hens and platypus and abundant birdlife. Using the steps you could put your kayak in the water and make your way down to the beach and out into Garden Island Bay into the calm waters for some line fishing. There is a pump in the creek that gives you unlimited riparian water for household and garden use and for your fire tank, assisting with bushfire safety.

Located approximately 15 minutes from Cygnet's popular township, schools, services and around 1 minute from the coastline at Garden Island Sands or 5 minutes from the boat ramp at Charlotte Cove and the beautiful beaches of Verona Sands and Randalls Bay. If you need to commute to the city, this property is around a 1 hour drive to the Hobart CBD.

Offering a hard to find combination of land size, privacy and a level block with a character home, this property is sure to be of interest as a country retreat or AirBnB and gives you a feeling of being on a much bigger parcel of land due to the larger acreage farms bordering the property.
