If you like the idea of mud brick, energy efficiency and style combined, you’ll fall in love with this home as soon as you step through the front door into the warm, embracing living room. Lovingly hand-crafted over ten years by the owners from celery top pine and mud bricks quarried on-site, this 3 bedroom home is superlative in its craftsmanship and finish. The skillion roofline has been designed to be solar passive, optimising winter sun and creating a cathedral-like atmosphere with its high, light filled, stained-glass windows. Tastefully decorated with a mild gothic character, all rooms are generous, well appointed with modern appliances, warm in winter and cool in summer due to the living, breathing, insulating properties of mud brick combined with the permeating warmth of an enclosed log fire in the living room, remote-controlled Tastic unit in the bathroom and remote controlled ceiling fans.
Magnificent, ever-changing water views over Huon and Bruny Islands in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel are available from the living room, two enclosed verandas and timber entertaining deck.
The approx. 8 acres of land belonging to the property are clothed in beautiful native Australian bush, the habitat of an absolute abundance of wildlife including Tassie devils, native quolls, wallabies and many species of birds, so friendly the current owners call them “pets”.
3 rainwater tanks totalling 11,000 gallons supply the home with water, with the gardens supplied by two dams. Outbuildings include separate, self-contained sleep-out, outhouse, garden shed, two workshops and a hothouse. Some chattels are to be included by negotiation, including all statuary, garden pots and tubs, a Subaru ute and a fire pump.
Current owners are heading off on adventures and want the home to go to someone who will love it as much as they have over the years. Must be seen to be believed this property wont last long.
