Stay cool in summer and warm in winter amidst spectacular views, total privacy on a rural acreage and just 40 minutes from Hobart CBD! Here’s a golden opportunity for someone who wants a quality, energy-efficient lifestyle with the latest straw bale building technology, fresh air, peace and quiet and enough room to do whatever you want.

The house is a modern, contemporary styled straw bale home, professionally designed and carefully constructed, now ready to complete to your own tastes and requirements. It features solar passive design, facing sunny NNE to make the most of fabulous views of Sleeping Beauty mountain straight out of the living areas and main bedroom windows.

This is how living is meant to be, with straw bale’s massive insulation qualities providing a stable, comfortable inside temperature all year round, plus abundant natural light and high ceilings throughout.

You can now decide on the fittings and finishing touches to suit your own taste and style!
As insulation requirements and electricity prices keep going up, you’ll be way ahead of the game with 450 mm thick exterior straw bale walls, two ‘heat sink’ interior block walls and edge insulated slab.

Straw bale mean superb sound and thermal insulation throughout, and there’s more firewood on the block than you’ll ever need. Constructed and designed to be off the grid, but if mains power access is required there is an easement over a neighbouring property included on the title ready to go.

Excellent rainfall area that consistently fills the two existing 5,000 gallon rainwater tanks and waters the fully enclosed, spray-free vegetable garden grows superb potatoes, snow peas and raspberries, that has room to extend if required. Nature lover’s paradise including echidnas, wombats, quolls, eagles, wallabies, blue wrens, red robins, kookaburras and more. Firewood to last you for a lifetime, but with a straw bale house like this you should rarely need it.

Room for a couple of sheep or alpaca or just let the wallabies keep the grass trimmed.
Located at the end of a quiet, no through country road, one of few properties that is elevated high above the Huon Valley’s winter fog line, often basking in beautiful sunlight when others down below are blanketed in the fog!

And for a final touch of magnificent eco living, you can luxuriate in the additional outside fire bath, looking up at the mountains with just the stars overhead and the wallabies for company as you soak up the warmth and the splendour. Don’t miss this fabulous chance to own an exclusive, private, energy efficient property in the ever-desirable Mountain River area, with barely another house in sight and stunning views of the magnificent Sleeping Beauty.
