Privately positioned at the end of a long bamboo-lined driveway, this distinctive South Arm home offers an earthy peaceful retreat surrounded by a fusion of Australian native landscaping and subtle Japanese influences.
The garden has been created to be both beautiful and productive. Easy-care crushed-gravel paths wind beside mulched garden beds, leading to a fully fenced, rabbit-proof backyard where a fescue lawn surrounds four raised vegetable beds and an established espaliered orchard producing plums, pears, apples, apricots and specialty Italian peaches. A chicken coop and 22,500 litres of rainwater storage add to the home's practical, self-sufficient appeal.
The home itself is clad in vertical-board hardwood and features reclaimed doors and windows, along with touches of leadlight glass that give it individual character.
Inside, pine floors and an inviting Norseman wood heater bring warmth to the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Recently renovated, the kitchen features stunning handmade 'Tassie Bush' Zellige mosaic tiles, a black granite sink with pull-out mixer tap, a 900 mm Smeg induction cooker and rangehood, complemented by a black Smeg retro dishwasher.
Adjoining the main living area, a light-filled sunroom opens to its own private deck and readily adapts as a study, reading room, creative studio or quiet retreat.
Beyond a striking glass barn door, two generous downstairs bedrooms form a restful private wing with a second powder room adding convenience. Freshly painted in Natural White, this area features luxurious new 100% New Zealand wool carpet with highest-quality underlay, sheer curtains and peaceful garden outlooks. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers privacy, a walk-in wardrobe and views towards kunanyi / Mount Wellington.
The updated bathroom features Yabby brushed-brass tapware and fittings together with a deep bath, creating a subtle sense of indulgence and relaxation.
Multiple outdoor decks extend the living spaces into the garden, including a generous rear entertaining area ideal for outdoor living.
The home is fully insulated and fitted with energy-efficient LED lighting throughout. A double garage with electric doors provides secure parking, workshop space and additional storage.
The property is wonderfully connected to village life - South Arm Beach, the boat ramp and jetty; South Arm village with its local café, pharmacy, bus stop, General Store and Post Office; South Arm Oval with its children's playground, fitness circuit, skate park and tennis court; and South Arm Primary School are all only a few minutes' walk away.
Everything considered, this property offers privacy without isolation and a more considered way of life.
