With breathtaking views out over the Derwent and Storm Bay and beyond to the Tasman Peninsula, this property is the embodiment of what serene coastal living should be.

Sitting on 1.3 hectares of gently sloping land the property's outlook cannot be impacted by any future development.

Built in 2008 the home is a unique combination of accomplished and environmentally sensitive architectural design brought to life by the art and craftsmanship of a master builder. The home is perfectly positioned to capture year-round sun and maximise the northerly and eastern winter warmth.

The first glimpses of the home as you approach it immediately speak of the home's imposing elegance enhanced by its quiet dignity.

A substantial rear concrete patio acts as a sun trap in the cooler months and offers sheltered outdoor living on the more blustery days.

Walking into the home through the front door you will notice that the entryway is cleverly designed as an air trap to ensure the ambient temperature of the property is managed efficiently.

To your right is a door leading into the double car garage with panel-lift door providing all-weather access from your car straight into the home.

Passing through the entryway to your left is a spacious laundry with plenty of work space and storage with its own access to the rear courtyard.

From the entrance hallway a book-lined library leads you into one of the most beautifully designed open-plan living areas imaginable.

The sense of space both within and without has been effortlessly achieved by the architect and as you move towards the window-lined eastern wall of this beautiful room, more and more of the view reveals itself.

A full length patio is accessed through fold-back doors creating one of the most impressive entertaining spaces imaginable, allowing your guests to move freely between the open air and living room.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with broad stone work surfaces, plenty of convenient storage as well as a pantry and modern appliances.

From the living area you enter a small hallway with a staircase on your right leading up to a bedroom suite. Nothing really prepares you for the sense of elevation as you discover the suite's sitting area then the bedroom itself. With a floor to ceiling window the view is astonishing. A spacious walk-in robe and well appointed en-suite bathroom complete this level of the home.

Downstairs you continue to walk along the hallway and pass the family bathroom with a fabulous view over the water. The bath features a bath, shower, vanity and toilet. Next to the bathroom is a smaller bedroom with built-ins and of course that view!

On from the bedroom you enter the perfect meditation space with access to its own private deck.

Then you enter a new zone recently added by the current owners consisting of a master suite complete with a separate lounge room with its own refreshments facility. The master bedroom is extremely well proportioned and is sufficiently large to accommodate any arrangement of bedroom furniture. The view is the orchestrated element in this room with substantial glazing units providing the thermal efficiency required. The facilities in this suite include a dressing room and en-suite with spacious shower, double vanity and toilet.

The home is heated by fully ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning which provides both heating and cooling. European designed wood-burning stoves in both the living area and master suite add ambience and warmth to the home on cooler days and nights. In addition to the grid electricity connection the property features a solar installation which includes Tesla battery storage. The owners state that their power bills average around $400.00 per annum thanks to the thermal efficiency of the home, the Tesla battery system as well as the current network rebates.

Working from home could not be easier with a super fast fibre to the home NBN (internet) connection.

Additional features of this beautiful home include motorised window blinds in the master bedroom, gorgeous polished Blackwood flooring and perfectly maintained interior and exterior surfaces finishes. The home is connected to town water.

Outdoors the property is surrounded by a combination of wild woodland and native and other plantings, providing a low maintenance solution for the busy homeowner and a habitat for a wide variety of bird life and native wildlife.

This home has all the benefits of comfortable solitude yet is only a 10 minute drive away from Kingston and 15 minutes from the centre of Hobart city. Nearby is the championship grade Kingston Beach golf course.
