Handcrafted strawbale house-10 min CBD, ferry, air

Situated on acreage only 10 mins from Devonport CBD you’ll feel like you are well away from suburbia as you watch the gliding wedge tail and sea eagles. Enjoy the tranquil ambience of this beautifully handcrafted straw bale home that features massive wharf timbers and panoramic double glazed windows and doors that capture the expansive views of the Mersey River, countryside, bushland and mountains. Sunsets are magnificent and the distant city lights make gazing outside a pleasure day or night. The space It’s so easy to connect with the ebb and flow of life as you watch the tide come and go, the constantly changing and often dramatic skies and observe wildlife (fabulous birds and loads of pademelons at night). It is a place to truly relax with the French doors flung open while you soak up the outside environment from the lounge, perched at the panoramic breakfast bar or while preparing food. The space is very private from the main residence and is fully self contained with lounge and breakfast bar, 2 bedrooms (one with queen bed and the other with 2 single beds that can join to make king bed depending upon you needs). Quality leather lounges, goose down doonas with beautiful Belgian flax linen will make this a luxury experience. Massive wharf timbers, copper kitchen benchtops, brass vanity and stained glass add to the unique hand built ambience. Fast Wifi and a widescreen smart TV complement this beautifully designed and appointed retreat. This is a truly unique place that you’ll want to return to again and again. Guest access Guests have a separate totally private entrance away from the owners residence. Key lockbox enables self checkin. Other things to note This property is on a sloping site with 2 sets of stairs (around 20 in total) and requires walking on gravel paths. If dogs frighten you, this may not be the place for you as our dog Ruby tends to bark when people arrive but she is perfectly friendly after her initial barking.
