12 / 378 Marlborough Road, Bronte Park

Bronte Park Highland village is home to a cluster of original and historic weatherboard cottages constructed to house workers employed by the Hydro Electric Scheme.

Approximately a 2 hour drive from both Hobart and Launceston and 15 minutes to Bradys Lake. The area is a mecca for devotees of a wilderness experience and certainly attracts fishing, kayaking and boating enthusiasts, given the reputation of world class fly fishing in this locality. There is a vast choice of lagoons and lakes to explore in close proximity…Bronte and Tier Lagoons, beautiful Bradys Lake of course and a number of other waterways in Laughing Jack Lagoon and Lake Echo.

Constructed in 1965, Cottage Number 12 has enjoyed a substantial upgrade which includes a new roof and fireplace as well as a smart kitchen renovation.

Freshly painted throughout with new curtains and blinds to complement the interiors. Rustic timber floorboards ooze character and charm providing a nice foil for the soft furnishings and homewares…all of which are included in the sale, the property being offered on a 'walk-in, walk-out' basis.

Nicely proportioned, the entrance is flanked either side by storage and a covered porch for the back door.

An inviting hallway leads the eye to a lovely spacious living area with a dining alcove. The fireplace provides a focal point, courtesy of a built in wood heater for warmth and ambience. There is a good supply of wood for the new owner to enjoy in the winter months.

There are 3 double bedrooms with an airy and light filled bathroom plus a utility/mudroom/laundry servicing the accommodation.

Situated on a generous allotment of 1572m2, the surrounds are partially fenced, with plenty of space to increase the existing footprint. There are wonderful valley fires from the rear boundary and often wildlife on the doorstep!

A general store for basic supplies is just a short walk away and really convenient or New Norfolk and Ouse in the Derwent Valley for more comprehensive supplies, about an hour’s drive away.

The village is renowned for its friendly community spirit and is popular for holiday makers but also permanent residents. Good infrastructure in terms of town water, sewer and power utilities.

Close by, there is a selection of eateries at Tarraleah, Miena and Derwent Bridge hotel. Tarraleah Golf Club is also in the vicinity.

If you have been contemplating a tranquil, safe haven from a hectic ‘9 to 5’ lifestyle , or for investors, an appealing short term rental property, Bronte represents a fabulous opportunity to purchase at an affordable price point!
