Here is your chance to escape the confines of suburbia to this amazing property on the outskirts of the historic township of Richmond. “Willowcroft” is an oasis nestled amongst a picturesque rural backdrop. Designed around entertaining and spending time with family and friends in the beautiful garden setting that surrounds this originally 1950’s cottage, there is very little that is now original about this unique and very special property! Renovated lovingly over the past years, the owners have put so many extras into this property, you will be in awe at the detail and numerous energy efficiency systems in place designed to minimise the environmental footprint and be self-sufficient.

Maximum privacy from the outset, double electric gates provide secure entry into the property, with double carport adjoining the home and shed for easy all-weather access inside. The home has a stucco exterior and extensive verandahs, creating that real homestead/cottage feel. Once inside, the beautifully renovated kitchen sets the standard for the rest of the home. Versatile in its layout, the lounge and dining rooms branch off the kitchen and could easily be reversed, depending on your lifestyle and family needs. The three bedrooms are all a great size with built in wardrobes. The bathroom has also been renovated to a high standard.

After viewing the interior, you will be excited to venture outside and explore the extensive gardens and decked areas that surround this home. With so many fun and practical spaces for entertaining, you will lose track of time as you meander through the gardens. Not to be distracted by the huge shed which doubles as a garage/workshop with “the man cave of all man caves” at the rear – and includes a built-in bar, cellar, bathroom and office. If you are not big on entertaining, this area would work equally as well as an art studio with great heating for year-round comfort. There is also the covered outdoor Wood Fired Pizza Oven and barbeque area which is an entertainers dream!

Multiple outbuildings for gardening tools, a chook house fit for the “royal family of hens”, hothouses, fruit trees and a shipping container for those additional “less used” items, everything has been thought about to ensure life at “Willowcroft” is practical, enjoyable, energy efficient, family friendly and fun. A kids playground and huge lawned area is perfect for children and adults to kick a ball around or have a hit of cricket. Security cameras make this play space visible from inside the home while you are preparing meals. Fully fenced for dogs and children, excellent garden and outdoor lighting and ample irrigation and taps around the property makes everyday living easy.

There is nothing left to do but enjoy this stunning property and its close proximity to local vineyards and Richmond village, merely 2 minutes drive away. Hobart is an easy 25 minute drive, local schools and shops are within an easy commute, and the bus goes past the front door! This really is the ultimate escape if you are looking for a property that feels like you are a world away from suburbia yet be so close to all conveniences.
