Harmony in Design
Crafted using ethical and non-toxic materials, this home was built with sustainability at its core. The rammed earth feature walls, double glazing and a soaring cathedral ceiling work in perfect balance—retaining warmth in winter while ensuring a cool and comfortable retreat in summer. Every element of this home has been carefully considered to create a space that feels as good as it looks.
Thoughtful Interiors
Inside, the home continues its theme of harmony with nature with picture windows showcasing the beautiful forest and beyond. The heart of the house is a sun drenched open plan living area, featuring a wood burner for cosy winter nights, a ceiling fan for summer comfort and double doors opening onto a generous deck that overlooks the gardens—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is a chef's delight, fitted with an Esse combustion cooker with wetback, a Bosch induction cooker and ample space for creativity.
The home features 3 bedrooms, one of which is a striking Tatami room that evokes a sense of Japanese simplicity, offering a serene retreat within the home. The main bathroom is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, featuring a custom made Japanese wooden bathtub that faces a picture window, framing the breathtaking wilderness outside—a space designed for pure relaxation.
The large lower level studio/home office space has further potential to be converted to a fully self-contained studio or can be currently used as a large home office/rumpus room or even a creative space.
A Self-Sufficient Lifestyle
Set upon rich mountain soil, the property thrives as a productive food haven. Multiple spring-fed dams support various enclosed vegetable gardens and greenhouse, providing fresh produce for the family, with plenty to share with friends. Native flora and fauna flourish across the land, with fallen trees sustainably harvested for firewood.
Tranquillity Like No Other
Beyond the paddocks, the landscape transforms into an ancient forest, where native birds call from the canopy and a crystal-clear mountain stream flows gently over mossy rocks and pools. This private slice of wilderness offers a sense of seclusion that is rare to find yet still within easy reach of Hobart's city centre.
For those seeking true escape, the renovated Chalet, set on the edge of the forest, provides an inspirational hideaway—perfect for artists, writers or those simply looking to slow down and reconnect. And for the romantics? The outdoor wood-heated bath, filled with pure mountain water, invites you to soak under the stars in absolute serenity.
A Home Like No Other
If you dream of a life immersed in nature, with space to breathe, create and live sustainably, this property is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true sanctuary.
