Capturing an extraordinary outlook across Southern Tasmania's D'Entrecasteaux Channel, 15 Honeys Road offers a compelling combination of architectural design pedigree, acreage, and the versatility of two separate residences in peaceful Flowerpot. Set across almost four hectares, the property features park-like grounds, open pasture, fenced paddocks and substantial additional infrastructure, including a recording studio for a unique lifestyle offering.
The 131m2 polished concrete, steel and glass main residence is designed by multi award-winning Tasmanian architect Maria Gigney; both of Grand Designs Australia fame and a past recipient of the prestigious Australian Institute of Architect's National Award for small project architecture.
Typical of Gigney's famed 'jewel-box' architecture, the highly contemporary, extensively glazed structure is bathed in natural light, while tempered by warm wood paneling, a bucolic rural location, and a strong connection to the ever-changing ocean and sky. Views from bed at dawn are truly enchanting, with no two sunrises over iconic Bruny Island ever the same.
Walls of glass featured in the open-plan living and dining area, extend along the view-facing side of the residence, providing a seamless connection with the outdoors. Large sliding glass doors allow deck access - an exceptional setting for entertaining, morning coffee, or simply taking in the view.
Seamlessly integrated with the living spaces, the kitchen is complemented by a separate pantry. Timber detailing, excellent storage and dual ovens and cooktops ensure warmth and practicality.
Contemporary polished concrete floors feature under-floor heating, with reverse-cycle heating available, if needed.
Accommodation in the main residence comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A wood-lined, light-filled study/office provides a practical and private space for working from home, while gazing out at adjacent farmland, and a distant winery.
Offering approximately 83m² of additional living space, the charming original upgraded cottage adds considerably to the property's appeal. Retaining a warm, welcoming character, with its newly dark exterior and its own ocean and pasture outlook, the wood fire-warmed cottage's location provides welcome separation from the main residence. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage has a separate toilet, new bathroom, new laundry, new flooring, and an upgraded kitchen.
Its inviting atmosphere and independent layout lend itself beautifully to guest accommodation, extended family or short-stay accommodation and supplementary income, subject to relevant approvals.
Outside, the property provides plenty of room to embrace a genuine country lifestyle. Fenced paddocks are complemented by established gardens, mature trees, a dam, raised garden beds and a mini orchard, with the surrounding landscape and water views remaining a constant presence.
For those requiring additional space, a substantial separate shed/workshop provides excellent scope for vehicles, equipment, storage or hobbies. A garage closer to the residences offers further vehicle accommodation and incorporates a dedicated acoustically treated music/recording studio, creating a unique space for musicians or creatives.
On fine nights, with millions of stars visible in the inky dark sky above, Aurora-watching may well become a favourite activity. Spectacular sunrises across the water provide an equally memorable start to the day. Local lifestyle attractions include pristine beaches, easy access to nearby boat ramps and jetties for fishing and water sports, forest walks, an abundance of local wineries, the award-winning Peppermint Bay restaurant and the many attractions of the extraordinary Huon Valley just over the hill. All this is approximately 45 minutes from Hobart City's vibrant waterfront, its eateries and the city's regular music and arts festivals.
Closer to home, Middleton is only a few minutes away, with the Bruny Island Ferry approximately 15 minutes by car. With two independent residences, remarkable architectural credentials, expansive acreage and an outlook that is difficult to forget, 15 Honeys Road is a property of genuine versatility. Whether envisioned as a private country retreat, a multi-generational lifestyle property, a base for creative pursuits or a home with potential supplementary accommodation income, it offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the space, scenery and lifestyle that make this part of Southern Tasmania so special.
