Are you a fan of Grand Designs?

Do you ever wish you lived in a home that utilised local built heritage, was designed with flair and lovingly renovated to become something special?

Here is a wonderfully unique property that not only provides the perfect example of upcycling – but it’s also a great place to live.

The former water reservoir at Hadspen has long proven itself as a great family home (re-designed in 1986), having the height to take in great rural views and the solidity for superb insulation.

The exterior is a local landmark, build on the highest point of Hadspen, but these days it supplies space and comfort instead of water. There’s an easy-care yard and greenhouse, perfect for the green thumb, plus a workshop and storage shed.

The interior features high ceilings, a wood heater, a beautiful mix of timbers and a tranquil bathroom that makes you feel like you’re more outside than inside.

Two living spaces showcase re-purposed antique furniture, and it’s refreshing to get away from boxy square rooms and see interior design  worked around curved feature walls.

The river, with it’s lovely swimming holes and fishing and canoeing opportunities, is only a five-minute walk away and it’s an easy 10-minute commute into Launceston’s CBD and not much further to the airport.

This property ticks many boxes with some of the best views around Northern Tasmania and having been beautifully maintained there’s nothing to do other than pack your bags and move in.
