With sweeping views of beautiful Barilla Bay, vineyards, orchards and golf courses, this architectural masterpiece in Dulcot showcases exclusive elegance at every turn, providing an exceptional lifestyle of the highest quality within the private and peaceful sanctuary of the Coal River Valley. Only in Tasmania is it possible to have such a serene and glamorous rural location less than 20 minutes’ drive to the city centre without a single intervening traffic light, surrounded by award-winning restaurants, wineries, and food producers, without a single visual clue that the city is so near you can get supermarket deliveries.

A versatile and unique floorplan features exceedingly spacious lounge and dining rooms adjoining the striking chef’s kitchen and extends via full-length glass sliding doors onto a huge timber deck, perfectly capturing the ever-changing outlook from every vantage point. Picture yourself with friends and family, enjoying a formal meal or casual barbecue, while indulging in local world-class wines, cheeses, single-malts, ice cream, chocolates and fruits sourced from the immediate neighbourhood.

Ensuring year-round comfort, a top-of-the-line Actronair ducted system flows throughout every room and corridor, coupled with insulation, instant-on gas hot water, and thermally efficient windows and doorways. Future-proofed, the home is equipped with automatic night lights scattered throughout, a high-speed NBN connection with multiple Wi-Fi access points, and CCTV security accessible by smart phone.

Each of the bedrooms on the lower level of the home are of a grand scale. Two contain built-in wardrobes and desk space, and the third has a walk-in dressing room. The eight-metre long fourth bedroom features an ensuite powder room, and could alternatively be used as a rumpus room as originally designed, a games room or gym.

The stunning bathroom on the ground floor is ultra-modern, with angled tiles in the walk-in shower, a huge free-standing bath encased in polished timber, large vanity, and commode. The laundry is located nearby with direct outdoor access.

Upstairs, panoramic views are magnificent from the master bedroom that solely occupies the first floor of the home. Polished hardwood floors combine with an eye-catching ensuite featuring twin showers, an adjoining home office, and private sheltered balcony to complete the luxe accommodation, which includes large built-in wardrobes and storage.

The lush low-maintenance grounds sprawl across an acre, are securely fenced, and attract an abundance of colourful birdlife. A fenced dam provides a haven for local painted ducks. Children will enjoy the huge cubby house with pirate deck and slide, within clear view of the house.

The built-in garage is secured by an automatic roller door, and there is a separate, large garden and tool shed.

The residence is licensed for short-term visitor accommodation. It has previously returned $133,518 at 50% occupancy in a nine-month year, without a web site or marketing beyond listing as “The Panorama” on Airbnb and Stayz. For entrepreneurs seeking to capitalise on the upcoming resurgence in tourism amid reduced number of competitor properties, the property can be sold fully furnished and equipped, along with transfer of the existing listings for an immediate launch, subject to negotiation. Use it as a glamorous holiday home in between bookings, easily partition it in two with a sliding door to generate side income, or just live in your beautiful home, in carefree luxury without having to pay $1,000 per night.

Nestled within a sophisticated community, a stone’s throw from world-famous wineries, and moments from the historic township of Richmond, this commanding property is truly one-of-a-kind, and despite being less than twenty minutes from Hobart city centre, allows its residents to feel miles from anywhere.
