1192 Cygnet Coast Road, Lower Wattle Grove, Tas 7109

Located along a picturesque coastal route, Cygnet Coast Rd is a quiet road right along the water's edge. You are more likely to pass someone walking their dog here, than another car. Overlooking the Huon River and the rolling hills on the other side, there is a lot to love about this peaceful position. The home has had an extensive modern renovation and extension, introducing many clever features and achieving a high level of energy efficiency. Consisting of an ideal 3.6 acres (1.65ha), the property is well set up with fruit trees, veggie gardens, an olive grove and a large dam to irrigate it all. Two large sheds complete the ideal set-up, adding great practical covered space.

As you arrive at the property, an electric gate provides easy access in all weather whilst maintaining an enclosed fenced property. The driveway leads to a large gravel parking area in front of a triple bay shed. From here a path leads down through lovely, low-maintenance gardens around the house yard. A covered patio provides great shelter as you enter into the home, complete with an overhead heater.  On entry, the open plan living has vaulted ceilings providing a fantastic sense of space, enhanced by the electronic skylight windows that open to allow the heat to escape in the summer, and shut automatically should it start to rain.

The large picture windows further flood the home with natural light and beautifully frame the water views. Double patio doors open out to a Ekodeck sundeck from the living, seamlessly integrating the inside with outside, taking full advantage of the vista. The passive solar design ensures winter sun streams deep into the home trapping free warmth, and when the summer sun is up high, the glass is shaded to keep things cool. The north-facing windows have mature Japanese Maples that allow sun to pass through during winter, provide shade throughout summer and then become a stunning glow of red in Autumn. Fully insulated ceilings, walls and floors ensure the home is easy to maintain your desired ambient temperature.

A Canadian-made wood fire provides a lovely atmosphere and warmth, and a 10kw reverse cycle air-conditioner and bedroom panel heating, will keep you comfortable all year round. All windows and doors are UPVC argon filled double glazed. The hot water is a Sanden heat-pump system, reducing costs by up to 70%. A Grundfos hot water circulation system means that there is instant hot water at all taps throughout the home without wasting any water. The home had been completely rewired and is ready to connect a generator directly to the home in the case of a power outage, powering the fridge, water pump, internet, TV, some power points and lights. Provision had also been made to easily add a solar setup.

The attention to detail and level of quality throughout will impress. The kitchen is smart and practical and fitted with Siemens appliances, including an 810mm induction cooktop, combination steam oven (wifi enabled), fan-forced oven, and integrated dishwasher. The cupboards and drawers are all soft close and the bench tops are Caesarstone. The exhaust rangehood motor is external, making it super quiet, yet very effective.  Off to the side, a butlers pantry completes the ideal kitchen set-up.

The bathroom and ensuite both come with heated floors and towel rails, as well as quality heat lamps. The family bathroom offers a separate shower and deep soak bath, whilst the ensuite has a double shower complete with choice of a waterfall or a hand-held option. The master bedroom has a large walk-in robe and the spare bedrooms have BIRs. A dedicated home office provides a perfect workspace.

Outside, the two sheds are super practical for the cars and workshop. The American barn middle door is 3.25m high, ideal for the caravan or motorhome.  At the top of the property, there is a dam that is piped down to the veggie patch, fruit trees and the house gardens. Gravity does the work here, avoiding the need for pumps.  There are Apple, Lime, Lemon and Mulberry trees, as well as the berry patch with blueberries, raspberries and silvan berries to add to the bounty of home grown produce. An olive grove is an extra bonus with 160 productive trees producing extra virgin olive oil, this could be a fun way to earn a few extra dollars.

Just 10 minutes over the hill takes you into Cygnet, whilst the hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville is around 15 minutes away.  Hobart CBD is within 45 minutes. Please contact us to arrange a private viewing.
