Apollo Bay TAS 7150

Designed and constructed by the owner, a skilled carpenter, with additional work by a local artisan builder, the dwelling has a hexagonal floor plan with large windows to maximise the superb water views. In the entrance hall and the open living area there's the warmth of exposed timber beams, pine panelling and a polished hardwood floor. An unusual feature is a wall of reclaimed convict bricks, many with thumb-marks. Warmed by the wood-fired range and the sun, the wall acts as a heat sink in the centre of the home. The master bedroom enjoys sensational views through full-height windows, while the second bedroom has double bunks. The bathroom has a clawfoot bath, vanity and basin.

You can forget electricity bills - solar panels feed into a battery bank for power and lighting. Most windows are double-glazed for maximum energy efficiency. A wood-fired kitchen range in the heart of the home provides heat for cooking and hot water, as well as warming the living spaces. There's a gas-powered refrigerator, a modern composting toilet and ample rainwater storage.

Outside is a covered parking space at the front door and a Colorbond double garage with awning. A walkway wraps around the house from the front door, widening to a spacious deck with lovely views over the bay. A track extends down to the water, where it's easy to launch a dinghy or kayak. It's a few steps to a sandy beach for swimming and snorkelling.

Accessed by a gravel track off the end of a quiet no-through road, the location is private and secluded, yet conveniently close to the Roberts Point ferry terminal, which is just a 15 minute drive away.

This is a very appealing property with a host of in-demand features. It is sure to attract keen interest from local and interstate buyers. Call Jude to arrange an inspection.
