Nestled within the heart of the Huon Valley, Stody Lodge offers a rare opportunity to secure a private, country retreat in Lucaston, perfectly positioned just ten minutes from the shops, services, schools, and amenities of Huonville.

Once an orchard and apple packing shed, later transformed into a Bed & Breakfast, the property still bears the distinctive hallmarks of its past, including soaring ceilings, expansive living spaces, and a unique sense of openness, combining history, character, and modern comfort in a breathtaking natural setting.

These original features have been sensitively enhanced to create a home that is both rustic and refined and designed to sit harmoniously within its bushland surrounds. Extensive use of timber and exposed stone creates a warm and inviting ambiance, while modern upgrades have brought every convenience of contemporary living.

The residence is spread across two substantial levels, with the ground floor designed for relaxation and entertainment. Sun-drenched, open-plan living flows effortlessly into a dedicated dining room, a second family lounge, a games room with wood heating, and even a private gym, or study.

The expansive kitchen blends country charm with modern practicality, fully equipped with premium appliances, extensive timber countertops, and abundant storage within quality timber cabinetry.

Multiple access points draw inside out to a verandah, a sunny courtyard, and the beautifully landscaped grounds with lawn areas, flourishing florals and established trees, ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors.

A favourite feature of the current owners is the picnic area by the dam, a serene spot to take in the sweeping 360-degree bushland views that surround the property in complete tranquillity.

Accommodation is housed on the upper floor, with four generous bedrooms. Two bedrooms, including the indulgent master, are complete with elegant en-suites, the master further enhanced by a walk-in wardrobe and a private balcony overlooking the estate.

The third bedroom offers dual access to the stylish upper-level bathroom, while the fourth enjoys a peaceful position nearby. The ground floor is serviced by a bathroom with bath, shower, vanity, and a separate toilet, ensuring convenience.

Every detail of Stody Lodge has been carefully considered and upgraded. Recent enhancements include a full renovation of the en-suite, repainting of the entire ground floor, dining, the installation of an 8.8kW solar power system, three new heat pumps and hot water cylinder, premium flooring with thermoacoustic underlay on the ground floor, new insulation and roofing within the family room, upgraded doors and hardware, and an EV charger.

The property is fully insulated and boasts plentiful storage throughout, including within the large laundry, a secure double garage, a storage shed, and dedicated dry wood storage.

This impressive residence combines the best of country living with modern luxury, providing a secluded sanctuary offering style, space, and serenity, all within easy reach of Huonville, and within thirty minutes of Hobart’s CBD.
