147 Tinderbox Road, Blackmans Bay, TAS 7052

Nestled comfortably into a hillside in the Tinderbox Hills is this beautifully presented six bedroom home. With views out over the water towards South Arm this property offers a range of desirable features that are often hard to find in one single location. The property itself is a combination of gently sloping woodland and pasture of a total allotment size of 3.7 Hectares and would suit a range of uses. The approach to the home is along an attractive Blackwood lined avenue with paddocks on either side. The current owners have, in the past, been horse riding enthusiasts and there is ample agistment as well as a currently unused arena. The home's exterior has an understated personality and its true charm becomes immediately apparent as you enter the rear entrance adjacent to the four car carport. A delightful entrance hall leads into the open-plan breakfast room and kitchen. With lofted timber ceilings, skylights, fireplace, large pantry and a contemporary kitchen this room is really beautiful and it's not difficult to imagine it being the day-to-day heart of the home. Sliding doors open out onto vine clad verandah and alfresco. Your eyes will immediately be drawn to the distant water views and the lovely grounds. From the kitchen area you have access through etched glass doors to the formal dining room with its timber parquet flooring and lofted ceilings. A large woodburning stove provides winter warmth and this room could become the impressive dining room that you've always wanted to be able to entertain your friends and family in style. From the dining room you enter the spacious formal lounge which has a really lovely, serene ambience. Doors lead out onto the garden patio with all the windows in this room drawing the garden and distant views in. A staircase leads up to the first floor master suite which has a large walk-in robe and en-suite with shower, toilet and double vanity. The water views are even more apparent from this room and your bed can be positioned to take advantage of those early morning panoramic sunrises. Back downstairs and through the kitchen you will discover a separate snug just off the kitchen itself. This is the perfect casual sitting area, spacious enough for entertaining or for just sitting back to watch a movie or quietly read a book. A short hallway leads you through into another wing of the home with a large family bathroom, five more spacious bedrooms (one with an en-suite) plus laundry. A staircase leads up into a really impressive multi-purpose room which could become guest accommodation, rumpus room for the kids, the ultimate artist's studio or whatever your imagination decides. Whatever it becomes, this room once again benefits from the more open distant water views seen through your property's trees. Outside, the home has a large workshop and store as well as an additional large shed and a carport with enough height to accommodate two horse floats or a large boat. The new owner of the amazing property will have the opportunity of growing their own fruit and veg with an already established netted garden. The property takes advantage of its orientation with 16 solar panels (5kw) installed on the roof significantly reducing energy costs. Behind the home the paddocks lead up to the timberline, beyond which is the popular, secluded and beautiful Tinderbox Hills reserve. This is an incredible opportunity for keen walkers and nature lovers as well as horse riding enthusiasts as all the trails are permitted for use by riders. Dogs are permitted on-lead during certain months of the year due to the wedge tailed eagle breeding season. Birdlife and wildlife abounds in this area and it's not uncommon to see endangered birdlife such as the swift parrot and forty-spotted pardalote which use the white gum forest as habitat. Possibly the most amazing aspect of this property is the sense of comfortable isolation that you can enjoy here but you're literally only five minutes' drive to the local shopping centre in Blackmans Bay with its wide range of services. Also nearby are some highly regarded primary schools and of course the beautiful Blackmans Bay beach. Public transport isn't far away and the busy business hub of Kingston is only 10 minutes drive from your doorstep whilst Blackmans Bay is a short drive away. Kingston has a wide range of services including shopping centres, places of worship, health services, high school, sporting facilities, restaurants, cafes, golf course and a beautiful beach. This region is extremely popular and continues to grow at an exponential rate. Hobart is only a 30 minute commute and a Park&Ride, located on the corner of Algona Road and the Channel Highway, offers the convenience and comfort of the Metro Bus Service into Hobart or further south. This lovely property presents a unique opportunity for you to own a unique, beautifully presented, substantial and comfortable home in a rural setting conveniently close to the necessities
