Constructed to the highest standard this architect designed solar passive home sits on a level 5 acres in a sheltered, private, northerly aspect in the middle of beautiful gardens.
Solar power, bore and rainwater catchment ensure your only ongoing costs are minimal. Live the self sufficient lifestyle with contentment and ease!
Designed and built from rendered Hebel Block with quality, comfort and function in mind the home comprises 4 to 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and multiple living spaces.
High ceilings and light-filled open planned living areas compliment the spacious bedrooms. Extensive use of north facing glass allows the living spaces to be passively heated throughout the cooler months while eaves exclude the heat of the sun in summer.
All bedrooms are large with quality built-ins and the huge master bedroom upstairs has a walk in robe and ensuite. Alongside, on this level, there is also a spacious sunny living room perfect for a parents retreat or creative studio away from the bustle of family life.
On the ground floor multiple French doors all lead from the well designed kitchen, dining and living room to a paved patio. There is a spacious walk in pantry and the laundry has lots of bench space and cupboards.
6.5 Kw of ground mounted solar panels continually create credits for the grid system whilst being designed to easily adapt to battery storage in the future.
An 11m x 5m steel span shed provides ample space for equipment and as a workspace with plenty of shelving.
Within the fenced grounds an orchard of productive fruit trees is complimented by plantings of strawberry, raspberry, blueberries and sylvan berries whilst the picturesque flower beds surrounding the house are interspersed with kitchen garden herbs and vegetables. Designed along permaculture themes the gardens are easy to maintain and harvest.
The remainder of the holding of 5 acres is currently open to the native animals who do a good job of keeping the grass low and fertilizing it at the same time. With the addition of a northern boundary fence the balance of the property would be as productive as the existing gardens and livestock could be carried. Further enhancing this is an underground bore water system that feeds an extensive watering network over most of the property.
Situated only 5 minutes from quality schools, shops, cafes, beaches, parks and the Derwent river this is the perfect ‘tree-change’ property you have been waiting for!
The added convenience of a short walk to school bus services and a gentle 25 minute commute to the capital city of Hobart and your ideal property is complete.
