Homes like this are genuinely special — places where thoughtful design, enduring craftsmanship, and a deep connection to the land come together to create something genuinely special. Set on five acres of flat, beautifully usable land, this warm and welcoming residence offers exceptional lifestyle appeal just minutes from Margate.
Designed and built over forty years ago yet feeling remarkably contemporary, the home showcases early solar-passive principles that remain highly sought after today. Soaring ceilings, northern highlight windows, double insulation, and an intelligent layout work together to capture light, warmth, and efficiency throughout the year. Comfort is further enhanced by hydronic heating via a Linéa woodfire with radiators, plus a second wood heater in the main living area — perfect for cosy winter evenings.
Inside, the home flows effortlessly, offering generous living spaces and a layout that feels both functional and full of character. Large windows frame garden views, while natural materials and thoughtful detailing create a calming atmosphere throughout.
Outdoors, the property shines just as brightly. The land is level, productive and wonderfully practical, featuring cleared areas set up for paddocks, a dam, an orchard with raspberries and a mulberry tree, thriving vegetable gardens, and a potting shed. The grounds are lush, wind-sheltered, and beautifully established — a true sanctuary for those seeking space, privacy, and self-sufficiency.
Despite its peaceful setting, the lifestyle here remains wonderfully convenient. Just a few minutes from Margate's shops, cafés, schools, and services, the property is also only 10 minutes to Kingston and around 25 minutes to Hobart CBD, offering an ideal balance of country living and accessibility.
Thoughtful, sustainable, and filled with soul, 70 Tabors Road is the kind of property that connects instantly with buyers looking for a home with heart — a retreat designed to be lived in, loved, and enjoyed for generations to come.
