Positioned on the edge of Neika overlooking Fern Tree, 55 Morphetts Road is a truly special property, offering an exceptional sense of privacy, space and connection to nature. Aptly named Beinn Sealladh, Scottish Gaelic for "Mountain View", the home enjoys breathtaking views towards the Organ Pipes and kunanyi/Mount Wellington, creating an ever-changing backdrop to everyday life. Just 20 minutes from Hobart's CBD or Kingston Beach, it offers the feeling of a secluded retreat without sacrificing convenience.
Designed and built by Bob Mirowski in 1996 and subsequently extended and renovated, the home was created with passive solar principles in mind. Its rare true north-facing position, double glazing, insulation and generous windows allow natural light and sunshine to fill the interiors throughout the day.
Generous living spaces make the most of the remarkable setting, including a beautiful sunroom extension designed to capture the surrounding landscape and mountain views. Tiled ground floor spaces benefit from underfloor heating, while hardwood floors bring warmth and character to the upper level.
The well-appointed kitchen features quality appliances, engineered stone benchtops, induction cooking, double ovens, a large pantry, coffee station and excellent storage. Four generous, light-filled bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, including an extra-large main bedroom with built-in robes and ensuite, complemented by a purpose-designed dressing room and spacious study with built-in shelving.
Outside, beautifully established gardens surround the home, with rhododendrons, camellias and native plantings adding colour throughout the natural bush setting. A greenhouse and fully enclosed hothouse provide wonderful opportunities for gardening enthusiasts, while securely fenced grounds offer space to relax, entertain and enjoy the outdoors.
A sweeping 70 metre tree-lined concrete driveway creates a striking arrival, opening onto an expansive forecourt. A huge double garage and workshop provides exceptional storage and flexibility, complemented by additional shedding and extensive parking for vehicles, caravans, boats and trailers.
With kunanyi/Mount Wellington and the Pipeline Track virtually on the doorstep, native wildlife all around and Hobart still within easy reach, Beinn Sealladh is a property that truly lives up to its name. A beautiful mountain retreat offering genuine privacy, remarkable views and a lifestyle immersed in nature.
