Granton is just an easy 25-minute drive from Hobart.

Via the undulating rise of Granton Heights Road, this enchanting property greets its owner at the crest.

Set back from the road behind electric timber gates and dry stone walls, the home is hidden within the hills of this pastoral suburb.

The expansive 3.4ha property provides a sanctuary with rural and water views.

Extensive English cottage gardens feature myriad flowers, manicured lawns and neat hedges.

Inside, Tasmanian timbers blend creams, whites and pressed tin.

A formal lounge, with a fireplace and ornate chestnut mantle, opens to a sunroom via double French doors. Here windows frame a panoramic river vista.

The country-style kitchen/diner is spacious and light, with bespoke solid timber cabinetry and a large pantry.

Honey-hued Tasmanian oak benchtops are complemented by a decorative tin splashback and sleek black appliances including a Smeg gas stovetop, Smeg oven and a combustion wood stove.

A glass-fronted cellar under the stairs is within easy reach for entertaining.

The home features a dual aspect bedroom and bathroom with a shower for guests downstairs, and a subway-tiled bathroom that services two large bedrooms upstairs. One of these bedrooms has a sizeable walk-in wardrobe and the other large built-ins.

All of the bedrooms showcase the ever-changing views stretching across the gardens and nearby pastures to the River Derwent.

Quality, year-round comfort is guaranteed with multiple reverse-cycle airconditioning units, panel and combustion heating, and blockout blinds in the bedrooms.

Returning downstairs, multiple outdoor entertainment spaces have been created to showcase the sweeping views and expansive gardens.

The sheltered front veranda will be the perfect place to unwind with a cup of tea, facing on to lawns edged with deciduous trees, roses and box hedging.

A timber deck hugs the rear of the home, overlooking the fountain, tranquil paddocks and stately gumtrees.

This acreage has a small pinot noir vineyard with wallaby-proof fencing and ample room for horses and pets.

An enclosed playground with custom-built climbing equipment, swings and a slide provides a recreation space.

In the generous double garage with a remote-control door there is a dedicated workshop space and an office.

An abundance of storage space is located within the attic.

There is a machinery shed for a tractor, garden equipment or feed in the paddock, in addition to a winter animal shelter.
