DESCRIPTION

Welcome to UC Forever, a stunning 20-acre property nestled in the heart of southern Tasmania. Renowned for offering some of the most breathtaking views in the region, this remarkable estate promises an experience that truly needs to be seen to be believed. Whether you are gazing out over the expansive landscapes or exploring the serene surroundings, UC Forever invites you to discover a unique piece of paradise where unforgettable moments are made. This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the most coveted properties in Gardners Bay, with a rich history spanning 150 years, including the Convict sandstone ruins of Glen Eden house.

This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits on an impressive 20-acre parcel of cleared and Australian native woodlands, complete with a separate 40-square-meter studio/office, a freshly renovated one-bedroom mezzanine-style cabin, and a garage including a workshop. The cabin shares the same expansive views as the main house, making it an ideal addition for Airbnb potential. It is the perfect mix of privacy, modern living, functionality, and breathtaking views, ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a lifestyle of discovery, tranquillity, and relaxation.

As you wind up the thoughtfully landscaped and blue-stone boulder-lined driveway to this retro-modern home, the incredible 270-degree view of Hartz Mountain National Park and the world-renowned Southwest National Park is revealed in all its majesty. The approach to the home itself is inviting and intriguing, with crushed granite and sandstone pathways, complemented by Australian native gardens.

Inside, the home is warm and sophisticated, with a touch of mid-century airiness. The open-plan living area is spacious, with large double-glazed windows that showcase the jaw-dropping views and let in plenty of natural light and warmth. A sizable wood burner serves as the primary source of heating, adding to the cosy and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, mudroom, and all tiled areas throughout the home feature underfloor heating, providing added comfort in the cooler months. The kitchen itself is modern and well-equipped with sleek countertops and a generous island, perfect for casual meals and entertaining. There are multiple lounge areas as well as a dining area that caters to large gatherings. The main guest bathroom is stylish and modern, featuring a double adult bath/shower for that extra bit of luxury.

The three bedrooms are all about comfort and relaxation. The master suite comes with a well-appointed, stylish ensuite bathroom - complete with underfloor heating as well as a completely separate walk-in dressing room with twin built-ins, and a fully enclosed sunroom that runs the length of the house. From the master bedroom, you can enjoy continued views of the stunning natural surroundings, making it a perfect retreat at the end of the day. The two guest bedrooms are generous in size, with double-glazed windows that frame beautiful views into the native woodlands beyond.

Step outside onto the expansive deck, where you can take in the panoramic view down to Gardners Bay and beyond to the waters of Port Cygnet. There are multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, perfect for gathering around the fire pit, enjoying cocktails as the sun sets, having an alfresco dinner, or unwinding in the hot tub under the stars. There is an abundance of exploration to be had, with private walking trails across the property. There is plenty of wildlife on your doorstep, with pademelons, owls, wedge-tail eagles, echidnas, and a huge variety of native birdlife visiting regularly.

UC Forever is also ideally located just minutes from Woodbridge and Cygnet, with both Huonville and Hobart only a short drive away, offering the best of both worlds-rural serenity with easy access to nearby amenities and the city. Additionally, for the savvy investor, this property offers great Airbnb potential due to its prime location on the famous Southern Edge tourist drive, with the cabin adding even more flexibility for short-term stays.

The separate studio/office is fitted with a split-cycle air conditioner/heater, making it a comfortable, functional space for year-round use, and although UC Forever offers seclusion and privacy, the property is fully connected to the world via Starlink, ensuring high-speed internet. This blend of retro charm and modern connectivity makes it ideal for those who value both peace and the ability to work or stay linked with the outside world.

This property is also eco-friendly, equipped with a battery-ready, two-inverter, 10kW solar system to help reduce your carbon footprint and save on energy costs. There is also a huge two-vehicle carport, an adjacent workshop, a trailer parking area, and a wood storage shed. The driveway terminates in a cul-de-sac that can host over a dozen cars.

UC Forever is a sanctuary for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you work from home, are a nature lover, a hobby farmer, or simply looking for a peaceful place to enjoy life, this property offers the perfect blend of country living and modern luxury.
