Designed by Preston Lane Architects for a family member and featured in Australia's leading residential architecture magazine 'Houses' in 2004, Australian Top 100 'Houses' in 2005 and the 'Architectural Review' in 2008, 'Fossil Cove House' is no ordinary home.
This property is impressive from start to finish, and with every turn promising something extraordinary, you are not let down.
Greeted by a striking 'Corten' motorised steel gate, you are welcomed into the property with a sense of anticipation. An extensive driveway and turning circle lead you to the main house where a timber boardwalk guides you through a stunning native garden to the entry of the home. Here contrasting textures of soft natural timber, rich red steel and cool stone and glass set the tone that is the hallmark of this extraordinary property.
The galley style kitchen holds a commanding position at the centre of the north facing living spaces. Sophisticated colour schemes, sleek, understated cabinetry and European appliances are a bold blend of function and beauty.
The living and dining zones are open and light-filled with stunning bush and water views. Spaces are separated and defined through different overhead ceiling planes and a wool carpet and wood fire in the lounge area creates a warm place to retreat to at the end of the day. From the dining area, floor-to-ceiling, glass, folding doors allow a seamless transition to the delightful sundeck and sumptuous spa, positioned perfectly to immerse yourself in the beauty of the landscape.
The bedrooms are housed over two split levels allowing separation and privacy. Both the ensuite and main bathroom are generous, bright and beautiful with walk-in showers, a deep bath and quality fittings.
An extensive use of boardwalks and pathways take you on a journey throughout the property, effortlessly transporting you from the main house to the entertaining pavilion. Here, set well away from the house and nestled amongst the treetops, this fabulous extension offers a self-contained kitchen, admirable BBQ and pizza oven and enormous deck for superb, alfresco dining.
With its excellent solar passive design this energy efficient home is well-equipped for the ever-changing Tasmanian climate. Shadow solar film on all windows cuts down on UV and insulates all year around, along with underfloor insulation and ducted heating. 28 solar panels provide 9 kilowatts of power and 3 poly tanks provide 50,000 litres of water.
This 244-square-metre home is set on over 4 acres of bushland at Blackmans Bay, 20 minutes' drive south of Hobart on a site that overlooks native treetops, the River Derwent, South Arm Peninsula and Bruny Island. Fossil Cove is renowned for its stunning limestone cliffs and archway, and for its fossil filled rock formations and abundant sea life.
This exemplary property really is one of Tasmania's finest and presents a rare and exciting opportunity to truly live the Tasmanian lifestyle dream.
