A rare gem, nestled amongst the native bushland of Margate, this natural built home is only 10 minutes’ drive to Kingston. Every detail of this unique house was inspired by The Natural House concept which creates a healthy, harmonious and ecologically sound home environment, aiming to reduce the environmental impact on the surroundings and create an energy efficient, green home.
The orientation of the house, which is north easterly, requires minimal heating or cooling all year round and most importantly, the north facing living space with its generous windows open to the winter sun, heat the tiled, concrete-slab floor and the solid walls. The exterior of the house is built of stone, which is durable and low-maintenance with a high thermal mass. Each timber structure in the house, whether exterior or interior is made of quality, native Tasmanian timbers either in their natural state or handcrafted by the owner himself.
Where the open concept kitchen allows a great entertaining atmosphere for family and friends, the stone accented doorway beside the dining area creates a flow to the outdoor entertaining option. There are two generous sized bedrooms on the ground level, whilst the upper level is a well-designed space where one end could be utilised as a bedroom and the other a study nook. Why not enjoy a hot bath in the antique clawfoot tub in the main bathroom, overlooking the bush at the end of the day? In addition, the house does come with a wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioner to keep the winter chills away if required.
