2176 Channel Highway, Snug, TAS 7054

This charming 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has recently been updated in keeping with the era and retains many of its original Federation features throughout which includes 10-foot-high ceilings, dado boards, and functioning open fireplaces. This stately property stands out in the crowd with its flexible floor plan, generous-sized rooms, and heritage gardens. The spacious lounge room boasts large bay windows and stunning water views towards the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Due to its fantastic acoustics and space, it has been the venue for many musical events and was once the home of a grand piano. The separate formal dining room is perfect for dinner parties, the third living area is currently used as a sunroom, and there is also a home office and library/fourth bedroom. The renovated eat-in kitchen features Italian glazed tiled splashbacks, walls, and hearth. A double butler's sink. European-made appliances, including an Elite dishwasher, Westinghouse range hood, and all-gas stove which is extra handy during power blackouts. There is a larder, walk-through pantry, and bonus cellar room located a short walk away. Positioned on an elevated 2-acre (approx.) allotment with a northerly aspect ensures this property receives plenty of sunshine all year round. There are several outbuildings including a 4-bay enclosed shed and garage. The garden has a beautiful botanical feel and many heritage plants and trees. The house is surrounded by ¾ acre gardens established in 1910. All naturally bonsaied due to sandstone and sheetrock soils and naturally reticulated. The small orchard at the rear of the property has 27 heritage apple trees, 7 varieties of pears, 2 figs (1 yellow, 1 red), 3 cherry trees, and 1 large black mulberry. The adjacent fenced paddock would be a perfect space to expand the orchard or run livestock. A section of these extensive gardens was created for weddings, photos, and special occasions incorporating a Japanese-themed waterfall with viewing platforms, a large pond, and a 90-year Gingko tree, which is just waiting for a new owner to revive. Located on a public bus route and is only a few away from the township of Snug, 750 meters to the local primary school, and a 25-minute commute to Hobart. *Sub division potential (STCA) *Security electric gates with camera and intercom *Town water and septic system *Twenty-eight solar panels feed into the grid, meaning no large power bills *Three chimneys, two open fireplaces, and wood heater *3 heat pumps with ceiling extractors that help distribute the heat evenly throughout the house *1 ¼ acres around perimeter with 4 access points
