Overview

Set in a tranquil and private 5-acre parcel adjacent to the Wombat-Lerderderg National Park, this architecturally inspired house merges Japanese design principles with Australian rural living for a unique lifestyle opportunity. The north-facing orientation enhances natural light throughout, making its open-plan living spaces bright and welcoming.

The residence features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged with traditional Japanese shoji screens providing flexible separation between rooms. A cozy large wood-fired heater ensures warmth and comfort during colder months, complemented by reverse-cycle heating and cooling for year-round climate control.

Expansive decks and outdoor spaces invite relaxation and connection with nature, offering sweeping views of the surrounding forest and frequent visits from local wildlife. A versatile west wing addition provides potential for extra bedrooms, a guesthouse, or a spacious home office enhanced by an architecturally distinctive loft space.

Eco-conscious living is supported by a 5.7 kW solar system and durable stainless steel water tanks guaranteed for 100 years. The property also boasts hardwood timber floors, porcelain tiles, a bespoke Tasmanian Blackwood kitchen with premium appliances, and practical sheds and workshop area to support hobbies or storage needs.
