989 + 991 Ellendale Road, Ellendale Tas 7140

Steeped in local history and standing as a proud sentinel of the Ellendale community since circa 1914, the iconic "I.R. Clark Store" is far more than just a house—it is a landmark. Once the heartbeat of the village, this traditional weatherboard residence and former cash store has been thoughtfully transitioned into a substantial family home set on an expansive 1,164sqm (approx.) allotment, complete with a massive 129sqm workshop. It offers a rare blend of heritage charm, modern comfort, and genuine lifestyle versatility. Behind the classic facade and full-length front veranda lies a home of surprising scale and warmth. The ground floor showcases polished Tasmanian timber floors and a versatile layout featuring: • Multiple Living Zones: A spacious main living room with reverse cycle air conditioning, a cozy "snug" with an original open fireplace, and a separate dining room warmed by a wood heater. • The Heart of the Home: A beautifully fitted kitchen featuring timber cabinetry, induction cooking, and a dishwasher. The kitchen looks out into the enclosed breezeway and entertainment area, creating a seamless connection for family gatherings. • Thoughtful Upgrades: The current owners have invested heavily in year-round comfort, including a new wood heater in the dining area and the replacement of many ground-floor windows with tinted double glazing. • Accommodation: Five bedrooms in total, including a convenient ground-floor master. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms and a study nook—perfect for those working from home. The Ultimate Hobbyist’s Haven & Secure Grounds Complementing the home is the impressive 129sqm workshop—a rare find in today’s market. Featuring two high-clearance sliding doors (2.7m W x 2.95m H), a mezzanine level for storage, and a built-in inspection pit, it is the ultimate setup for a tradesperson, hobbyist, or car enthusiast. For those with children or pets, the entire 1,164sqm property is fully enclosed by new 1.5m secure fencing to all boundaries, providing total peace of mind and privacy. The Added Strategic Advantage: Two Separate Titles Beyond the immediate lifestyle appeal of the home and shed, the landholding is held across two separate titles (989 & 991), adding a powerful layer of future flexibility and "land bank" security: • Exceptional Versatility: Keep both titles to preserve your space and privacy, explore developing a second dwelling or self-contained retreat (STCA), or sell off one title down the track to recoup capital. • Potential: For investors, the property offers a formal rental appraisal estimate of $750 per week, providing strong holding income while you plan your next move. Adventure at Your Doorstep Beyond the village, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy Tasmania’s premier wilderness and recreation hubs. You are just a short drive from Mt Field National Park, one of the state's oldest and most diverse parks, and the world-class trails of the Maydena Bike Park. The Location Enjoy the peace of a village lifestyle with the local Post Office just a stroll away for daily essentials.
