Perched on the banks of Queechy Lake, this expansive 1,421m² property features a meticulously curated garden filled with exotic and ornamental plants that envelop a spacious, eclectic family home, elevated above the lake to offer captivating leafy vistas.

Tucked away like a treehouse in summer, yet bathed in light during winter, the surrounding gardens provide both privacy and serenity. A stunning selection of birch, maple, elm, black bamboo, ferns, and rare plantings fill the landscape with vibrant colours throughout the seasons, there is also direct access to Queechy Lake and the North Esk from the rear yard. It's almost hard to believe how close you are to the city whilst within this property.

The home spans two versatile floors, offering the flexibility of separate self-contained quarters or one spacious, unified home. Entering through the covered porch and stained glass doors, you're greeted by an immediate sense of tranquility and exclusivity. The upper level features the main kitchen with Smeg and Bosch appliances and an open-plan dining area, offering breathtaking views. Sliding doors lead to a private patio, shielded by the lush gardens. Two of the three upstairs bedrooms are positioned on this wing of the upper floor. One of two bathrooms on this level adjoins these bedrooms and serves as the central bathroom. 

Stained glass and floor-to-ceiling windows beautifully enhance the natural surroundings and landscape. The expansive windows on either side of the lounge create a true sense of peace and serenity. A wood fire heater in the living room adds to the ambiance, while multiple heat pumps throughout the home ensure comfort year-round.

The master suite, situated in the opposite wing of the upper floor, is generously sized. It includes built-in storage and a spacious ensuite with a spa bath, offering both convenience and tranquility.

On the lower floor, you'll find additional amenities, including a separate laundry and a flexible storage room. A full-sized second kitchen connects to one of the downstairs living areas, offering a private space to enjoy the garden views, along with a study nook or art space. The three generously sized bedrooms on this level include one with a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom offers a separate shower and toilet, adding to the functionality of this floor.

The downstairs open living space provides access to a covered outdoor patio and barbecue area, perfect for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. Further along the garden paths, you'll find a charming chicken coop and a fire pit area encircling a stunning stone landing, crafted from the salvaged fascia of one of Launceston's historic buildings.

Outbuildings include a double carport, a secure lockable shed, and additional off-street parking with a spacious turning circle for added convenience. 

This property has a history of hosting weddings and health and wellness events and retreats. Furthermore, the lower floor offers potential for separate accommodation, creating additional income opportunities.

Currently a treasured sanctuary for the existing owners during their tenure, the proximity to the city via Penquite Road in less than 10 minutes and ease of access to the midlands and Launceston Airport whilst being hidden away within this private retreat is not something that is often ever offered to market. Less than a few minutes from the Norwood IGA, Newstead shopping precinct and multiple public and private, primary and secondary schools. Purely a world away from the surrounding hustle and bustle, though offering every convenience at your fingertips, this property is a must see. Contact Lochie today to register your interest.
