125 Slab Rd, Cygnet TAS 7112, Australia

Just moments from the centre of Cygnet, you’ll find this absolutely beautiful, incredibly unique property. Not only does it offer a stunning period home on over eight acres, but there is also an additional, dual storey guest house and a commercial kitchen.

The home is set well back from the quiet street and is said to date right back to the 1930s. It’s enjoyed many, very sympathetic renovations over that time and still presents as a character filled, warm family home.

In addition to the features, you’d hope to see preserved, such as the 10-foot ceilings with decorative cornice and ceiling roses, the Tasmanian oak floorboards, and the gorgeous mantle pieces; more modern additions have been included to complement the property’s more traditional beauty.

Most of the windows have now been double glazed, including the massive living room window that perfectly frames the countryside, with a focus on a neighbouring dam that is often home to resident swans raising their cygnets.

The main house provides four spacious bedrooms as well as an office. One of the bedrooms offers an ensuite and the family bathroom is nearby, providing a shower over the large corner bath.

The galley style kitchen overlooks the property’s gardens and still houses the original wood stove, in addition to the new Belling, and quality, blackwood, and oak cabinetry. It also provides a walk in pantry.

The guest house was upgraded within the last decade and offers a charming, modern space that is ideal for visiting friends and family. This is currently approved as a visitor accommodation so it’s ready to be listed on Airbnb and is sure to earn a fantastic supplementary income if you choose.

The guest house provides three spacious bedrooms upstairs, with the open plan kitchen, living and dining area enjoying the entrance level.

The commercial kitchen has its own entrance and, if not being used to provide a rural bed and breakfast experience, could be leased out to small catering businesses, or perhaps you’re ready to try your hand at creating your own product.

The land is a lovely mixture of house gardens, orchards, pastures, and bushland and is currently agisted to some neighboring cows. There is a well proportioned dam and some very impressive garden infrastructure already in place. This includes vermin proof fencing, the original stables, and irrigation lines ready to be connected. There is a standalone double garage with an attached carport and a laundry with a bar area attached.

A level walk takes you into the Cygnet township and the property enjoys the convenience of town water.
