Last Listing description (April 2024)

(SOLD 3/4/24) A feeling envelops you from the moment you arrive, after ascending through the spectacular natural scenery along the winding bends of Mount Nelson. There is a real sense of arrival - a sense of place. Then, as you enter the property via an intriguing Japanese inspired temple gate, walking down a small winding staircase and step upon the beautifully crafted entry deck, that sense of place, elevation and feeling of arrival grows. Even before you walk inside, outside beckons Seen through a wall of glass, the river Derwent in all its majesty, stretching wide before you, in a broad 180 degree view over Bicentennial Park and Sandy Bay from the city and the iconic Tasman Bridge and Wrest Point Casino out to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Breathtaking

The building sits with ease in its beautiful natural bush environment, privately nestled into the hillside below bend 5, giving a sense of seclusion, not easy to find in suburbia. Mount Nelson is unique in its character, being so close to everything, but feeling like a real escape Its where the forest seems to meet the sea, high above the action below. Its a place where you wake to beauty and birdsong every day, wrapped in natures embrace. The property backs directly on to beautiful Bicentennial Park - for your daily dose of eco-therapy, bushwalking amongst the Casuarina and Eucalyptus trees- literally out your back door. The view is simply stunning, seen from almost every room of the house. Its one of the many daily joys living here - an ever changing scene that will mesmerize you. This is a home that nurtures your health and well being -as restorative as it is protective, uplifting and life-enhancing!

This unique property is the happy result of the meeting of Mid-Century Modern architectural design and a distinctive Japanese/Scandinavian sensibility, rooted heavily in the Australian bush. The house has a naturally inviting and relaxed feel with a warmth and ambience from not just its location in a natural setting, but also from its construction using organic materials. The timber detailing in all areas is bespoke and well crafted. Discreetly compartmentalized spaces over four different levels, invite you to explore within. Four bedrooms and 2 large living rooms provide scope for flexibility to personalize the use of all spaces to suit your own lifestyle.

Everywhere you look, carefully considered details elevate the spaces beyond the ordinary. Cantilevered window seats in two of the four bedrooms extend the space into the view beyond. A large twisted vine of wisteria trained up the side of the house and along the upper eaves emulates an overgrown bonsaithe Japanese inspired elements cleverly curated, inside and out, with a timber battened plywood ceiling and hanging paper lanterns in the downstairs living room adding to the zen-infused vibe.

Clerestory windows and the generous use of glass throughout, create spaces that are light-filled with an inherent indoor/outdoor connection. Flowing out from timber and glass sliders onto the spotted gum deck with built-in (celery top pine) seating, you will find the perfect place for relaxing or entertaining guests; a prime position to watch the incoming Yachts in the annual Sydney to Hobart race - or a warm, sunny spot to sit on the cooler days... A lower deck (undercover courtesy of the one above) provides shade in the warmer seasons and a contemplative view of the surrounds. The house has a desirable NE aspect, with almost all rooms benefiting from this orientation, as well as capturing the amazing view.

Inside, adjacent to the open plan living/dining space, you will find a well appointed hand crafted timber kitchen with ample storage, including a concealed pantry. Upstairs, close to 3 of the 4 bedrooms, a recently remodelled bathroom combines contemporary convenience with a sympathetically mid-century design aesthetic. Downstairs, you will find the 4th bedroom, and the second large living space, currently used by the owners as a luxurious guest bedroom, opening to the lower deck.

Outside, a large double carport - solidly built and enclosed on 3 sides with level access and easy manoeuvrability - is a rare commodity on the bends of Mount Nelson. For keen handy-persons and gardeners, there is also a lean-to workshop/potting area at the rear and side of the carport too, and a capacious, well-lit workshop and storage space under the house adjacent to the large laundry/utility space on the lower level. Venturing into the garden, a beautifully constructed network of terraced rock gardens, stone steps and timber paths, lead down the sloping block to what can only be described as a hidden jewel. Built early in the new millennium, the timber-clad studio was an indulgence in bespoke craftsmanship and design. Featuring specialty Tasmanian timbers like celery top pine, blackwood, sassafras and myrtle throughout, it is utterly unique and very special. The copper clad sculptural roof is shaped to resemble a leaf - or perhaps a sail - marrying the concepts of bush and water so synonymous with this property. Inside, the fine bespoke detailing continues to astound and delight, with the ceiling lined with curved timber battens, like the hull of a boat, and the double glazed windows are asymmetrically shaped, carefully placed to capture beguiling natural vistas. This beautiful space can be used as a work from home office, writers retreat or guest accommodation -or as it was for the original owners, doubling as a personal yoga studio.

Tasmania is home to many hidden architectural delights in stunning locations.
269 Nelson Road Mount Nelson is one of them. Don't miss your opportunity to live in this very special property on the iconic 'bends'. This is classic Hobart living - the way life was meant to be. Arrange your private inspection - come explore, relax and unwind - and find out why this area is one of Hobarts best kept secrets and so tightly held.
