Land, lifestyle & craftsmanship | Allens Rivulet
Tucked away at the very end of a quiet no-through road, this extraordinary property offers a rare combination of seclusion, scale and convenience. Set across almost 12 hectares (approximately 30 acres) of pristine countryside in one of Allens Rivulet’s most tightly held pockets, this is a lifestyle retreat where privacy reigns and nature sets the pace – all less than 25 minutes from Hobart’s CBD and the Royal Hobart Hospital.
A gentle driveway winds through established gardens to reveal a beautifully crafted timber home, instantly welcoming with its warmth, character and connection to the land. Step inside and you are embraced by rich timber finishes that wrap the walls and ceilings, creating an atmosphere of comfort and calm. At the heart of the home lies a beautifully connected kitchen, living and dining zone – a space designed for gathering, laughter and long meals shared with family and friends. This is where stories are told over morning coffee, where children perch at the bench while dinner simmers, and where evenings stretch out long after the plates are cleared. The kitchen itself is a showpiece, with handcrafted timber cabinetry adding warmth and character, while the impressive freestanding cooker stands ready for everything from slow Sunday roasts to celebratory feasts. Generous bench space invites guests to gather, pour a glass of wine and join in the ritual of cooking together. Expansive windows draw your eye out to the gardens beyond, flooding the space with natural light and ensuring the ever-changing seasons become part of daily life.
French doors open seamlessly to the deck, inviting the outdoors in and creating the perfect flow for alfresco dining, summer evenings and slow weekend breakfasts overlooking the edible gardens below. A cosy wood fire anchors the living space, while a separate media or library room offers a peaceful retreat for movie nights or quiet reading.
Follow the softly curved timber hallway to discover four generous bedrooms. Tucked privately at the far end, the master suite feels like a sanctuary of its own – a peaceful space to wake with the birdsong, enjoy leafy garden outlooks and unwind in the comfort of your own well-appointed ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully positioned, perfect for children, guests or a home office, all serviced by a large central family bathroom. With abundant linen storage throughout, the home has been carefully designed to balance everyday practicality with relaxed country living.
The home continues to impress outdoors, where an expansive covered entry deck becomes an extension of everyday living. Stretching wide across the front of the home, this is a place to slow down, sip your morning coffee and simply watch the world go by – birds flitting through the garden, clouds drifting overhead and the gentle rhythm of country life unfolding before you. There’s space here for long lunches with friends, afternoon reading sessions in the shade or evening conversations as the sun dips behind the hills. Practicality meets lifestyle with a cleverly integrated laundry and additional toilet, ideal after a day spent tending the gardens or pottering in the paddocks. A generous mudroom provides the perfect drop zone for muddy boots, gardening tools and outdoor gear, ensuring the home remains effortlessly organised while fully embracing its rural setting.
The grounds have been thoughtfully designed to be largely self-managing, with an emphasis on edible gardens and resilient, easy-care plantings. As you wander the property, you’ll discover fruit trees, herbs and established vegetable beds seamlessly woven into the landscape, making harvesting part of everyday life. You will also find two poly tunnels allowing for year-round growing, while the established orchard further supports a sustainable, homegrown lifestyle. It’s a garden designed to give back – productive, beautiful and wonderfully low maintenance.
Infrastructure is equally impressive, with a huge powered shed including a single stable, two extended carports ideal for boats, caravans or trailers, and charming historic sheds ready to house chickens. Meandering grassy paths lead to one of two dams, where wallabies are often seen grazing peacefully.
With a number of cleared paddocks, this property offers endless opportunity – whether you dream of a hobby farm, permaculture project or producing enough vegetables for the whole valley. Two dams and multiple water tanks ensure ample water supply year-round.
Private, productive and profoundly peaceful, this is a property that allows you to live fully – growing your own food, hosting friends, watching wildlife and enjoying complete seclusion, without sacrificing access to Hobart.
64 Pregnells Road is more than a home – it’s a lifestyle, a sanctuary and a rare opportunity to secure something truly special.
