A Landmark Rural Residence with Panoramic Views

Northern Tasmania is celebrated for its picturesque rural landscapes, where rolling green hills, country lanes, and fertile farmland are symbolic representations of rural-living. The Karoola district is no exception, its sweeping views and tranquil countryside evoke the perfect vision of a country home.

At the heart of the landscape, on over 23 acres, lies Karoola House. It is surrounded by sweeping lawns, productive paddocks, and an arboretum, the property has been thoughtfully curated to combine country living with modern practicality. After entering the front gates, the meandering driveway leads to the 1978-built home with a substantial 2015 extension, designed to make the most of its elevated position where every room captures far-reaching views across the countryside.

A wide entryway leads to multiple living zones, including a large lounge room and formal dining area, each complete with wood heaters and designed for family gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen, designed by a Sydney-based designer, is both functional and elegant, offering ample preparation space, waterfall-edge benchtops, and a large walk-in pantry with dedicated storage for up to 36 dozen wine bottles. A heat-controlled storage room, adjacent to the kitchen, provides an additional pantry or wine cellar.

Accommodation includes three bedrooms, with the master suite positioned at the end of the western wing, complete with a walk-through wardrobe and private ensuite. The central bathroom is expansive, with an oversized walk-in shower, wall-hung vanity and heated towel rail. The central bathroom has easy connection to the secondary bedrooms, both of which provide built-in storage. A separate powder room is ideal for guests, and also enjoys easy connection to the entertaining areas.

The extensive use of Tasmanian blackwood throughout the home, from door frames and skirting boards to window trims, adds warmth and character to the interiors, while a fully ducted air-conditioning system ensures year-round comfort.

The grounds are equally impressive, the paddocks, designed in a triangle formation, optimise feeding and watering for cattle or horses, while the property's abundant water supply, including 75,000 litres of tank storage, Pipers River access, and a bore producing 5,000 litres per hour, ensures effortless upkeep. A pressurised circular irrigation system services the gardens, which are interspersed with rare trees and sweeping lawns that frame the spectacular 360-degree views.

Practicality is front of mind, with infrastructure that includes a single garage, extensive additional parking for up to 20 vehicles, a large barn (the former milking shed), workshop, and a dedicated storage area for a lawn tractor and equipment. A separate studio or teenage retreat offers flexible living or creative space, while the property's position and soil quality make it perfect for those considering a boutique vineyard.

From its wide verandahs to its established arboretum and panoramic outlook, Karoola House captures the very best of country living. Whether as a family home, hobby farm, or a property with agricultural and viticultural potential, it offers an exceptional chance to own a home of both quality and character in one of Northern Tasmania's most picturesque settings.

Just twenty-five minutes from Launceston's CBD, Karoola House enjoys the convenience of easy city access. The nearby township of Lilydale offers everyday amenities, including a primary school, shops, and cafes, while the property also sits within easy reach of the Tamar Valley wine route, celebrated for its vineyards, cellar doors, and scenic drives.
