HISTORY, LIFESTYLE & VIEWS The house:A very well kept, interesting, historic home.The original school in Forth, later adapted to the Headmasters' residence when the second school was built.The house, due to its change in usage has no central hallway.The main living area and two bedrooms are from the original school room.Two steps down, are kitchen with walk-in larder/pantry, second bathroom, laundry and old fashioned “boot room”, which add modern storage and function to this property.The dining room and huge third bedroom with dressing room/walk-in wardrobe and large ensuite bathroom with spa bath add all the modern conveniences.Lifestyle:The house is positioned sideways to the road with double garage and outbuildings providing extra privacy.Sitting on the verandah with a glass of your favourite bubbly, whilst watching the sunset over the hills with a 180° view of the Forth Valley, township and all the way to Bass Strait is something you have to experience.Location:The village of Forth in Northern Tasmania is centrally situated between Devonport and Ulverstone, one hour drive from Launceston, 10 minutes from the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal and 15 minutes from the Devonport airport.This island is not “cut off from the world” and has very good internet and broadband communications.This property would have to appeal to anyone looking for a “sea change,” an escape from the “big smoke,” a desire for a climate of four seasons, where security is not an obsession, a safe place to bring up children, the ability to still conduct your business at a distance within easy reach of the Australian mainland, a chance to grow your own veggies, keep your own chooks, pick your own fruit from your garden and orchard, freeze it or even make your own jam.
