‘STONEHAVEN’ – A ONE OF A KIND COUNTRY LIFESTYLE ACREAGE

‘Stonehaven’ located within minutes of the renowned and charming township of Sheffield, on the Northwest coast of Tasmania, represents the perfect opportunity to purchase a charming lifestyle acreage property, complete with an impressive stone built main home, as well as, an as new, double storey cottage, perfect for visiting family and friends, multi-generational living or holiday/farm-stay accommodation. Stonehaven and it’s charming cottage are situated on 23 acres of verdant pasture, boasting stunning views to Mt Roland and showcasing all that country living has to offer.

The main dwelling of this property overlooks parklike gardens, that flow gently out to pastures of sheep grazing, geese waddling, and cattle roaming – Stonehaven is the definition of a serene, private and complete lifestyle/tree change acreage.

As you meander down a driveway of blooming daffodils, to arrive at the the main home, with very stone hand picked and an entrance door created from hand hewn timber, the rustic charm of this property is immediately apparent. On entering the central hallway, a large bedroom is situated to one side, and an office/study or additional bedroom to the other, proceeding through to a large informal living area with Saxon wood heater, updated flooring and a dining area, which flows out onto a large undercover patio area, perfect for entertaining family and friends, lazing with a good book or just enjoying everything this fabulous property has to offer. A very large, open timber kitchen, with 5 burner gas top oven, dishwasher and an oversized butlers pantry, including side by side fridges, is spacious and welcoming. To the rear of the home is a large extended family room and main suite, including walk in wardrobe and ensuite. From the main living room, a separate wing of the home offers another charming bedroom, main bathroom and oversized laundry / mud room. The second accommodation offering for this property is a modern double storey cottage, just next door, which is fresh, bright, open, and includes a cosy deck overlooking the property, kitchen and living room on the ground level, and a gorgeous bedroom with another balcony, and large bathroom on the upper level. This cottage would make wonderful multi-generational living, Airbnb, extra guest accommodation or perhaps a studio / work space.

The extensive gardens, which have been part of the Open Gardens Scheme in the area, boast an abundance of old established trees, flora and fauna, including a well cared for orchard with fig, apricot, nectarine, plumcot, chestnut, hazelnut, apple, pear, quince, citrus, raspberries, a prolific veggie garden and even a Mediterranean Oak that has been innoculated with truffle spore.
