This picturesque property in the popular suburb of Leslie Vale is perfectly set up for the horse enthusiast. Surrounded by English gardens, the gorgeous 3-bedroom home must be seen to be truly appreciated for everything it has to offer.
A lovely, sunny country kitchen, with plenty of cupboard space and an attractive window bench seat, flows into the large spacious lounge room with polished timber floorboards. A built-in woodheater adorned by a stately mantelpiece keeps the house toasty even on the coldest of winter days, with a heat pump for added convenience.
Off the lounge room is a fantastic outdoor covered entertaining area accessed through expansive double glazed bifold doors, where you can bask in the sunlight and birdsong. Rounding out the house are three good sized bedrooms and a modernised bathroom and separate toilet, both with underfloor heating for those cold winter mornings.
The gardens are magnificent with numerous well-established rose bushes, rhododendrons, magnolia tree, and bulbs which will provide an endless array of colour and perfume all year round. A fully enclosed yard gives security for pets and children, while the orchard, vegetable garden, chicken run, hot house and separate single lock up garage will delight a keen gardener or hobby farmer.
The five acres are set up perfectly for the horse enthusiast with a large American style barn suitable to house the float plus a feed and hay storage area (not to mention a generous workshop), a horse wash bay and a 40 x 20 all-weather riverstone sand arena. There are 4 good paddocks set up with electric fencing and water, mainly pasture, one with a 4 x 4 shelter shed and one partly bush. Enjoy a circuit walk around your own private forest of native bushland. There are two water tanks totaling 30,000 litres, plenty for even the driest of summers.
Leslie Vale is renowned for its horse community, with ample riding/walking/cycling trails which make for a fantastic playground to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
This lifestyle property is a short 20-minute drive to Hobart.
