6933 Huon Highway, DOVER, TAS 7117

Set on just under an acre in the coastal township of Dover, this charming chalet affectionately called Fern Grove, captures the essence of holiday at home lifestyle by the sea. Offering a beautifully manageable hobby farm in a naturally restorative environment, where relaxation, enjoyment and self-sufficiency sit side by side.

This is a home designed for those ready to step away from the noise and constant pace of city life and reconnect with something slower, calmer and more intentional. Evenings are spent soaking in the hot tub beneath open skies, mornings begin quietly in the warmth of the sauna, and weekends unfold around the fire pit with homegrown produce on the table. It's a setting that nurtures self-sufficiency, where you can grow your own food, keep a few animals and still enjoy those small, restorative indulgences that make everyday living a way to exhale, recharge and truly feel at home.

As you arrive there's an immediate sense of leaving the outside world behind, a quiet shift from busy to peaceful. Inside, the home welcomes you with warmth and ease. The downstairs living and dining space flows naturally into a country-style kitchen designed for easy entertaining. Two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a practical laundry nook complete this level with simple functionality designed for everyday living.

Upstairs two generous bedrooms provide peaceful retreats. One opens to a private deck overlooking rural surrounds, while the second is accompanied by a charming bathroom with a clawfoot bath and skylight, along with its own separate deck. It's a setting made for long soaks and quiet moments.

Quality insulation, gas heating, a reverse cycle air conditioner, heat pump hot water system and solar panels ensure the home remains comfortable and efficient through every season, supporting a lifestyle that feels both nurturing and sustainable.

Outdoors is where the restorative rhythm truly settles in. The expansive rear deck becomes a sanctuary in itself: a hot tub, sauna, meals shared from the BBQ and stories told around the fire pit, all set against the peaceful rural outlook. Established gardens invite you to grow and harvest, while fenced paddocks, a babbling creek and animal enclosures make self-sufficiency not just possible, but enjoyable and manageable. A workshop with potential for three-phase power and additional shedding provide space for creativity, projects and practical pursuits that complement a slower, more hands-on way of living.

Living here means embracing the quiet beauty and genuine community spirit of Dover. Set on the shores of Port Esperance Bay and framed by mountains, this southern coastal town offers beaches to enjoy all to yourself, fishing spots, cafés and essential services including a District School, medical centre and supermarket. Weekends might include exploring Hartz Mountains National Park or enjoying the seasonal abundance and offerings of the wider Huon Valley.

This is more than a home; it's a place to retreat. A place to grow food, gather friends, soak under the stars and rediscover a calmer way of living.
