Perched high on Mount Rumney, just 15 minutes from Hobart’s CBD, this striking three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers complete privacy, refined modern design, and some of the most breathtaking views in Southern Tasmania.

From the moment you arrive, the sense of seclusion and serenity is undeniable. Nestled in a private setting at the top of Mount Rumney, the home commands uninterrupted panoramic views stretching across Pitt Water, Midway Point, Penna, the surrounding rolling hills, and the length of Five Mile Beach. Here, everyday living feels like a retreat, with soaring birdlife passing by at eye level and sunrises that transform the horizon.

The entryway makes a bold architectural statement, with custom cedar board-formed precast panels adding warmth and texture to the dramatic approach. Entering through the wide staircase, with concrete walls, steel staircase, recessed strip lighting, and a bespoke wine rack, the home immediately sets a moody, architectural tone. The double garage below is seamlessly accessed through a panel door.

Upstairs, the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area framed by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open wide to capture the views. Boasting one of the most generous clear spans for sliding door panels in the state, they allow the indoors and outdoors to merge effortlessly, creating complete freedom for entertaining and relaxation. From this elevated position, the outlook stretches across Pitt Water, Five Mile Beach, Penna, and the rolling hills beyond, creating a constant connection to the landscape. Even at the induction cooktop, a mirrored splashback ensures the views remain in sight.

The kitchen itself is designed with both functionality and sophistication in mind. Anchored by a long Dekton island bench, it’s crafted to allow the chef to entertain while cooking, complete with high-end German appliances, including a built-in Liebherr fridge and freezer and a seamlessly integrated dishwasher. This space balances practicality with luxury, making it a true centrepiece of the home. A second living or media room adjoins, offering flexibility for everyday living.

Flowing seamlessly from the living zone, the outdoor entertaining area is a showpiece. A sprawling concrete terrace spans the entire width of the home, bordered by a wide garden bed that softens the edge while framing the view. This elevated space is the ultimate setting for long summer evenings, weekend gatherings, or simply soaking in the tranquillity of the surroundings. With its elevated position and uninterrupted outlook, the terrace feels suspended above the landscape, offering front-row seats to spectacular sunrises and the shimmering waters below.

The master suite is a private sanctuary, accessed via a concealed door in the living room wall, creating a luxurious retreat of its own. Full-length glass doors open to the deck, where a private outdoor shower adds a touch of resort-style indulgence. The ensuite is equally impressive, featuring a private bath set against the view, screened for seclusion by timber fencing, and a spacious walk-in robe with mirrored ends amplifying light and space.

Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes are privately positioned, serviced by a sleek main bathroom with both bath and shower, plus a separate toilet. The laundry provides easy access to the outside. Off the kitchen, sits an elevated outdoor space offering versatility for entertaining, with plenty of room for a barbecue area, outdoor spa, or a safe play zone for children all while soaking up the uninterrupted views. On the opposite side of the home, a fenced yard with a garden shed provides the perfect spot for pets and additional storage.

Designed for year-round comfort and efficiency, the home includes three heat pumps, double glazing, and full insulation in the roof, walls and floor. Underfloor hydronic heating has been plumbed into the slab and can be completed with ease if desired, offering another level of comfort. Everyday living is supported by mains water, an electric hot water system, and an induction cooktop, blending modern convenience with sustainable design.

Every detail of this home has been carefully crafted to maximise both lifestyle and outlook, delivering a sense of absolute retreat while being only minutes from the vibrancy of the city.
