Lush 8-Acre Tasmanian Sanctuary: Architectural Masterpiece Just 15 Minutes from Hobart

Step into your own private realm, a transcendent home situated on just over eight acres of serene, native Tasmanian bushland overlooked by the majestic kunanyi/Mount Wellington. Designed by the esteemed Maria Gigney, renowned for bespoke residential craftsmanship that merges form and function, this is more than a property, it's a sanctuary for both wildlife and discerning homeowners alike.

Experience the union of design and nature:

• Anchored by a robust welded steel structure, the home is heavily insulated and engineered for acoustic serenity and optimal climate control.

• Commercial-grade, double-glazed windows stretch floor to ceiling, bathing every corner in gentle light while carefully tinted glass helps protect local birdlife, a testament to environmental integration.

• With the living area oriented to solar north, you'll benefit from passive winter warmth, in summer, deep overhanging eaves offer refreshing shade. A full home ducted 22kW Temperzone system ensures year-round comfort, while a raised Morso wood-burning heater adds both cozy ambiance and functional warmth.

• Ingeniously simple passive-cooling through low-level windows beside a goldfish pond creates a natural airflow "chimney," offering a cool 2 degree drop in as little as 30 minutes.

The heart of this home lies in the kitchen:

• A striking 3.5m stainless steel island with double commercial-grade sinks.

• Top-tier appliances including a Liebherr integrated fridge/freezer, Ilve 900mm electric oven with combined gas and electric cooktop, Qasair extractor fan, and a Miele dishwasher.

• Clever design touches, soft-close drawers, pull-out spice and pantry racks, and a breakfast appliance nook with retractable doors, ensure both elegance and everyday simplicity. Underfoot, the pioneering use of sustainable bamboo flooring, its air-pocketed structure delivering warmth and longevity, speaks to the home's thoughtful use of enduring materials.

Outdoor Living & Wildlife Harmony

• A spacious 66m² ModWood deck flows seamlessly into the landscape, steps omitted intentionally to preserve an undisturbed human-to-wildlife transition zone.

• Wildlife integration is built-in: eight possum sleeping boxes dot the trees, hosting both ringtail and brushtail possums.

• Endangered species are not just visitors, they're residents. Tasmanian devils den in the gullies, eastern barred and southern brown bandicoots, as well as bettongs, roam freely. Rare white goshawks nest nearby, while rehabilitated pademelons and wallabies now call the grounds home. The site functions as a lived wildlife sanctuary, an invitation to reconnect with our most vital purpose in the natural world.

Workshop & Studio

• Architect-designed workshop by Dock4 Architects: metal-clad, fully insulated, with a sealed concrete slab, Velux skylights, metal-framed stacker doors, and recycled-plastic grated decks. A studio end features its own Morso wood heater.

• Enjoy leisure and wellbeing with a Votex Aquagym Swim Spa (4m x 2.3m), equipped with 59 jets, a dedicated heat pump, and UV sanitization for minimal chemicals.

Future Possibilities

• A standalone architect-designed studio, part of an approved plan for additional ehabitat chalets and facilities, offers potential for eco-tourism or guest accommodation. This prototype by Giles Newstead is prefabricated with heavy insulation and double-glazed windows, embodying sustainable elegance.

• Practical enhancements include a fully netted and wired vegetable garden, supplying fresh greens, and an orchard featuring apricot, cherry, persimmon, nectarine, kiwi fruit, passionfruit vine, and decorative hop vine.

Imagine mornings warmed by soft rays, birds chirping just outside the window. Afternoons on the deck, gazing over unspoiled bushland. Nights enveloped in the earthy scent of Tasmanian woodsmoke from the outdoor firepit. Rare wildlife at every turn. All within a whisper of Hobart, yet worlds away.

This is not just a home, it's a living, breathing place of beauty.
