Dreaming of your own country estate but still want to be close to town? 257 Melrose Road, ABERDEEN TAS 7310

Just 15 minutes drive from Devonport this property sits on almost 5 acres with gently undulating land and views for miles.

This is truly a perfect location for those wanting some land just on the fringe of town, with all the creature comforts of a modern, quality built & impeccably presented home.

With building completed in 2020, the craftsmanship & detail used during construction make this amazing home one to be proud of.

The spacious master bedroom is your own private sanctuary. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the home, the light and airy master boasts beautiful views, French doors opening onto the undercover deck, gorgeous chandelier, a walk-in robe area and your own private soaking tub in the ensuite

The remaining 3 bedrooms have built in robes providing ample storage. Two of these rooms are located in an area of the house separated by a cavity privacy door. These rooms share the use of the main bathroom and would be ideal for the children or guests that might like a little more privacy.

A fire pit area in the flower garden provides a perfect spot for a quiet drink or for toasting marshmallows not far from the main house.

There are numerous terraced gardens, currently partially constructed and planted along the long driveway. Once completed, these would lend themselves beautifully to any number of applications.
Kitchen garden, chickens and an orchard? A Wedding Venue or Glamping Accommodation? (STCA).
Or perhaps you have, or have always wanted horses? The possibilities are endless.
