Overview

Nature, Nurture and Timeless Tranquillity

Set across 2.54 hectares of pristine Kettering countryside, this remarkable property captures the essence of peaceful, self-sufficient living — where native birdlife greets you each morning, the scent of eucalyptus hangs in the air and the hum of daily life fades into nature's rhythm. The main residence unfolds with understated beauty — a north-facing haven where natural light and thoughtful design merge. Downstairs, the home's heart beats within its generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces. Timber tones, stone textures and wide picture windows frame ever-changing views of the surrounding bushland, while a crackling fireplace provides warmth through the cooler months. Step outside, and the transition from indoors to outdoors is seamless — the deck flows to manicured lawns, a tranquil pond and a spa pool perfectly positioned for star-filled evenings. Upstairs, the home reveals its tranquil private quarters — three serene bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom that together form a restful retreat. The master suite is a peaceful sanctuary, complete with a walk-in robe and a charming adjoining room that could serve as a nursery, a quiet reading room or a place to simply pause and take in the beauty of the surroundings. Two picture windows fill the space with soft natural light and leafy outlooks, creating an atmosphere of calm and connection. Each of the remaining bedrooms continues the theme of serenity, offering generous proportions and outlooks that feel like living artworks — ever-changing scenes of colour, texture, and light as the seasons unfold. Perfectly suited for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or Airbnb the self-contained annex radiates character and warmth from the moment you step inside. Behind its stone exterior, the interior unfolds in a symphony of natural textures — timber walls glowing with honeyed tones, hand-laid brick floors and exposed beams that give the space an earthy, handcrafted feel. A wood fire forms the heart of the living area, infusing the air with gentle warmth through winter, while large windows frame leafy outlooks that connect the space to its surroundings. Thoughtfully designed for independent living, the annex includes a comfortable bedroom, bathroom and a rustic kitchen with solid timber cabinetry — perfectly in tune with the home's natural aesthetic. Having been run as a very successful Airbnb over the last 10 years, it's a great opportunity for the next owner to earn an extra income from the property or perhaps have as extra guest accommodation. Creative minds will adore the dedicated art or yoga studio, a rustic yet inspiring space that invites reflection and imagination. A powered 40ft shipping container (15-amp power) expands the possibilities further — ideal as a workshop or secure storage, while the solar panels supplement your power bills and the evacuated tubes almost cover your entire hot water bills for 6 months of the year! The property's gardens are an ever-evolving sanctuary — from the running pond to the productive garden beds and grand chicken house, 2 dams and a firepit terrace that invites long evenings beneath the stars. Over 50 species of birds have been documented by the current owners, creating a soundscape that feels almost meditative.
Whether soaking in the outdoor spa, sharing wine by the fire, cooking pizzas in the beautiful pizza oven with friends or simply sitting quietly by the pond, every moment here feels like time well spent. Though it feels like a hidden retreat, this property is just two minutes from the heart of Kettering — Tasmania's gateway to Bruny Island — and only a 30-minute scenic drive to Hobart's CBD. Here, modern comfort meets natural simplicity; a home that nurtures both creativity and calm in equal measure. Call me today to book your private inspection.
