66 Tabors Road, Margate TAS 7054

This architect designed home is one of a kind. Built to the highest standards, the house is spacious and practical with a flexible layout.

The house has been designed for entertaining, with multiple French doors leading from the large kitchen, dining and living rooms to a paved patio. The high ceilings and light-filled open planned areas are warmly accentuated by Tasmanian rainforest specialty timbers; Myrtle, Huon and Celery Top Pine. The hand crafted timber kitchen with expansive bench tops is adjoined by a massive functional walk-in pantry.

The home has been designed with energy efficiency in mind. The ideal northerly aspect and extensive use of north facing glass allows the sun drenched spaces to be passively heated throughout the cooler months while eaves and heavy drapes exclude the radiant effects of sun on hot summer days. Appropriate thermal mass used in the construction of the home aids in creating an ambient year round internal temperature. Ground floor walls are solid masonry construction, both external and internal, thereby maximising the insulating properties of a passive design and actively assisting in retaining passive winter warmth and amplifying summer cooling effects. The appealing in-built fireplace supplements passive winter day sun warmth during cooler evenings.

Ground floor bedrooms are large with generous in-built storage cupboards throughout. The main bedroom is lavish, enhanced by outlook, room geometry, proportions, cathedral ceiling, walk-in robe and adjoining ensuite bathroom. Each element works in harmony to create an ideal parent retreat. The second floor living space is an ideal refuge and could easily be used as a private library, teenager's getaway or media room. Bathrooms throughout are modern and the huge laundry is ideal for those who value functional space.

This 5 acre property is mostly pasture with an established orchard. A ground water bore feeds an extensive ground watering network. Exotic trees planted over the property form the setting for a botanic haven.

The property is only 22 minutes commute to Hobart and 5 minutes from the picturesque growth township of Margate, once renowned for its berry and apple orchards. Now its tranquil setting, farmlets and waterways attract those who value peace and privacy without living in isolation. This is a fabulous lifestyle property.
