This unique property is set on a secluded parcel of 11 hectares (approx.) of partially cleared and partially forested land sloping gently towards Fogarty Creek views of surrounding hills and bushland. Sitting undisturbed for some years the house and surrounding land offer much to be explored.

This house is hand-crafted masterpiece designed by renowned environmental architect, Stephen Sainsbury in 1997 and constructed with endemic Celery Top Pine and random rubble stonework.

Conforming to solar energy principles, the building has the optimum northerly aspect on the living spaces with extensive glazing over the two levels of the northern elevation. The overhang of the eaves on the northerly elevation ensures exclusion of the hotter summer sun but admission of the desired lower winter sun.

The home exudes a sense of serenity complementing the tranquillity and seclusion of this bushland setting. The structural elements (posts and beams) are crafted in Celery Top Pine utilising traditional Japanese jointing techniques with no nails or screws.

The Japanese structural methodology and philosophy carries through to the open bathroom/laundry with the bath sunken into the terrace and surrounded by a field of stones collected from around the property, various parts of Tasmania and from around the world. The internal ceiling lining reflects the shape of the arched roof and is lined with timber.

The house is accessed by a 480 m (approx.) driveway through mixed sclerophyll forest, predominantly Blackwood and Eucalypt, ensuring total privacy from the road and neighbours.

This is a special home for someone wanting a beautifully crafted, timbered secluded sanctuary. Ideally the new owner will be willing to undertake small renovations to get the house back to its full potential.
