Last Listing description (January 2025)
Reminiscent of an art sculpture, this home has a deep sense of soul. It will capture your imagination and take you to a relaxed and peaceful place. Perfectly positioned within a 4 acre (1.7 ha) property consisting of a vast array of mature fruit trees, berries, a large dam and overlooking majestic gum trees, this is a calming and utterly captivating property.
A clever loop driveway provides easy access into and out of this fruit haven. Nestled in the vegetation is the original workshop studio, this was where the famous artist Tom Samek created many of his memorable works. This property inspires creativity and mindfulness, enhanced by the chatter from the multitude of birdlife and the rustle of leaves in the breeze.
This home is not just a straw bale construction, it is a high quality, well engineered, crafted masterpiece. A sculpture in itself, this is a home to be proud of. Integrating wonderfully within its environment, there is an unparalleled connection with nature. The seamless curves of the building and the subtle textures from the rendered straw bale evokes the need to glide your hands over the surface.
Inside, the open plan space is flooded with natural light and invites the natural surrounds of the outdoors, inside, creating a seamless connection with nature. The artisanal workmanship is simply beautiful. There is thought and care everywhere you look with. The crafted timber work and the unique spaces and shapes create a flowing environment with no acute angles or sharp edges, everything is perfectly in harmony.
On the ground level is the living , kitchen and dining space, up the stairs leads you to the mezzanine bedroom. Here you look down over the space below and out through the huge picture windows connecting you with the tree tops. Up here there is a resort style deep soak bath from where you can admire the home and take in the natural surrounds. Tucked away around the corner is the ensuite, fitted with a stunning petrified-wood sink. Access to a tiled balcony is like a bridge to the outdoors.
Although power is nearby, this home is totally off grid with a battery bank and solar array. The hot-water is free from the solar tubes and backed up with a gas system. The reduced costs and energy efficiency of this home is assured. The straw bale construction with the double glazed windows and doors, along with the passive solar design means you will need minimal heating or cooling, maintaining a constant temperature.
Meandering through the property, you will discover an amazing amount of produce. Down the back, a large dam is more like a small lake, attracting many birds and wildlife. You will feel totally disconnected within this oasis, and yet within the rural surrounds known as Braeside. This is a plateau of fields and forest up high in the hills behind the historic riverside town of Franklin. Franklin provides choices of eateries and is known for its wooden boats.
Just 10 minutes up the road is the main hub of the Huon Valley where you will find all your country town shops and services. Hobart is only 45 minutes away, making it accessible whenever you need. The Huon Valley is a very picturesque valley with the Huon River within its heart, flanked by beautiful green paddocks, apple and cherry orchards and tall forest hill tops.
