Secure one of Tasmania's most exclusive opportunities: a rare north-facing Ferry Road allotment with fully approved plans for an architect-designed Passivhaus residence. With council planning/building approvals in place and key site works already completed including slab, footings and power connection, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure land with a fully resolved, world-class, environmentally intelligent home design in one of southern Tasmania's most desirable coastal locations.
The 2500m2 private internal allotment enjoys a sunny north orientation with serene bay and landscape views. Entirely open pasture with two coastal blackwood trees, it requires no native bush clearing and is ideal for extensive gardens.
Designed by Stuart McKenzie Hall Architects, the approved home is a contemporary, high-performance energy-efficient residence meticulously oriented for solar gain, daylight and year-round comfort. Every element reflects Passivhaus principles: energy efficiency, superior indoor air quality, human health and long-term durability.
The plans deliver light-filled open-plan living, with all rooms facing north and full-height triple glazing for maximum natural light and winter solar gain. The thoughtful layout includes generous bedrooms (master with WIR), a luxurious bathroom, separate plant room, WC and laundry. A large deck extends the living area outdoors, while the double garage with two EV 3-phase chargers includes storage/potential gym space and internal entry. External materials of brickwork and natural timber cladding create a timeless, modern aesthetic.
The home is fully electrified and future-ready, incorporating a substantial solar PV array with battery backup to minimise running costs and enable genuine energy independence/off-grid capability. With its optimised envelope and high-performance systems, it offers a clear path to Passivhaus Premium Certification.
The allotment allows you to proceed with the builder of your choice. With planning/building approvals secured and major site works complete, including 3-phase power, earthworks and concrete to out-of-ground stage, you can progress without approval delays. Extensive investment has been made in studies, drawings and a full documentation package, including engineering certificates and verified survey checks. Stuart McKenzie Hall Architects are available to work with the new owner on any refinements.
74A Ferry Road is a rare offering; a premium private coastal allotment just 30 minutes from Hobart and moments from Kettering Marina, the Bruny Island Ferry, cafés and local producers. With essential site works complete and world-class design ready to build, it is an exceptional opportunity for sustainable, design-led rural-coastal living. Inspection by appointment only.
