1217 Pelverata Road, Pelverata TAS 7150

Deep in the rolling hills of Pelverata lies a bucolic scene that will take your breath away. This piece of paradise was designed by Hobart architects Maguire and Devine and was a finalist in the Australian House Awards in 2018. This will not come as a surprise once you step inside as it is clear this is truly a home designed for today, merging practicality with good design and style.

Oriented to take advantage of both the sun and the views to the uncleared forest of Sherwood Hill Conservation Area which is visible in the distance, with the closer native trees on the boundaries making for picture perfect scenes out of almost every window, you'll be hard pressed to find a more picturesque setting. The home is extremely energy efficient, with double glazing throughout and has wonderful upgrades with shade blinds on all the north facing windows and automatic, motorised blinds on the larger higher windows as well as blockout blinds in the bedrooms.

Speaking of bedrooms there are 3, all have built-in-robes and although this home is not large the use of space is incredibly efficient. The master suite will have you feeling like you're on holiday in a high-end retreat everyday, with its large, stone, soaking tub, which was imported, along with the basins from New Zealand. The attention to quality and detail is second to none and is really on show in the en-suite, lined with floor to ceiling tiles and with light streaming in through the skylight over the frameless glass, oversized shower featuring antique brass tap-ware for a real sense of luxury.

The main living area feels abundant and spacious, while the on trend ply lining is perfectly finished and showcases yet again the high quality workmanship which is throughout this home. The care taken by the architects in the design of this space with entertaining in mind is evident. From the open plan kitchen with large island bench, the 'Neil Perry' oven and cooktop for all the aspiring chefs and the indoor/outdoor flow which is incredible when the stacking doors are opened up to let everyone circulate from the deck to the firepit and then back inside. You can watch the sky glow as the sun sinks over the hills and sip a lass of wine on the deck or back inside by the woodfire.

The clever use of square metres on offer is on-show again in the laundry and mudroom, the perfect combo to make the most of the space leading to the back door. This section of the home also features a media room which could easily convert to a home office or children's play area. The 2 bedrooms in this part of the house have use of a good sized bathroom with shower and separate bath.

The entire home is heated throughout by ducted underfloor reverse cycle heating and cooling and as mentioned earlier there is also a modern wood heater in the living area.

Outside, apart from the fire pit area there are the beginnings of a lovely native garden, perfectly suited to the surrounds and there are a number of fruit trees including cider apples, plums and pears. The property is access via a private, bitumen driveway.

The current owners also have a development application approved with Council for a one bedroom visitor accommodation to be constructed on-site, we can provide further details of this if required.

Pelverata is a fantastic small country town, with regular community events. The locally renowned Pelverata Falls are nearby and very worth a visit too. It's around 15-20mins from Huonville and less than 40 minutes to Hobart, making this a perfect commuting property, or the ideal weekend getaway.
