This sumptuous retreat was thoughtfully designed and built in 2004, a true collaboration between owner, architect Detlev Geard and building biologist Michael Meyer perfected specifically for this wonderful 15 acre parcel of land positioned to enjoy breathtaking views of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island.
A culmination of passive solar principles have been applied, the North facing orientation, elevation, polished floors, double glazing throughout with Stegbar windows and insulated walls, floors & ceilings. Additionally the home is heated when required with a Pellet fire, offering further convenience.
The spacious open plan living and dining area flow effortlessly to the bespoke kitchen, the heart of this home. Featuring recycled Celery Top & Oregon, plenty of cupboard and bench space for any cooking enthusiast, a beautifully crafted pantry and fabulous bi-fold windows which open up a pass to serve direct to your friends and family on the expansive sun deck.
There are three good sized bedrooms all with panoramic views and built in robes, the master enjoys a private and luxurious ensuite with tub and access to the sundeck. The second bathroom offers adequate amenity to the rest of the home plus a lovely powder room offers further convenience. The huge laundry room with an air drying system offers practicality and energy efficiency along with 10 solar panels (1.75kw) and a solar hot water system.
Furthermore, healthy house principles such as minimal use of glues in construction materials, NO pesticides or herbicides used, minimization of carpets, with only natural fibre Sisal used, demand switches to bedrooms reducing electromagnetic radiation whilst sleeping plus ergonomic bench heights used in all wet areas are features sure to please.
Outside you will find a productive vegie garden & family sized orchard, 25,000ltrs of tank water and an eco-flow gutter system, 2 dams provide gravity feed water to gardens, a woodshed, a studio, double carport & plenty of off street parking, and above all, privacy and the sound of peace and tranquility.
