Aotea Road off Churchill Avenue in Sandy Bay is a showcase for contemporary lifestyle residential design in a natural bush setting with unrivalled 180 degree panoramas to the CBD, Port of Hobart and the magical outline of the Tasman Bridge lights after dark.

Preeminent among many examples is 31 Aotea Road. Situated at the head of the cul de sac on a 1200 sqm allotment is this engineering masterpiece of free form design, capturing all day sun into living, lounge, dining and 4 bedrooms on 2 levels of spacious living, where every room at the front of house has a view which can never be built out and your privacy is guaranteed.

Steel framed and cantilevered, 31 Aotea Road reaches into the clean air of this elevated sanctuary, overlooking carefully landscaped gardens with fruit trees, native shrubs and peaceful places of reflection with only the bush winds and abundant native bird life for company. Yet minutes travel only from transport, beaches, schools and services -- the envy of other Australian cities.

Grand natural stone retaining walls compliment the unique "one design" statement made by this property, clad variously in a mix of rendered surfaces, Colorbond and fireproof eco cladding to tantalise and challenge the conventional.

Celebrating the outdoors, the galley kitchen, living and lounge rooms all open via sliding doors to a full length sundeck with glass balustrades providing a free flowing entertaining venue where one space blends seamlessly with another. Luxurious tiled hi traffic areas feature large, imported Porcelanosa ceramic designs teamed with plush charcoal tone carpets throughout the home with occasional natural timber highlights adding contrast to a tasteful neutral dcor, ensuring wall hangings and special features achieve a striking prominence.

Double glazed throughout with LED lighting, quality shade window dressings and offering ducted natural gas heating, 31 Aotea Road uses thermal mass to gather the energy of the Winter sun and keep energy consumption to a minimum. And for those special occasions when only a real open fire will do, a Jetmaster fireplace awaits.








31 Aotea road features the best of European appliances along with the convenience of gas fired cooking and instant hot water. Tiled areas including bathrooms offer under floor heating to further compliment the ducted gas system for the ultimate in flexible options ensuring a gentle back ground ambience year round.

The master bedroom is positioned to overlook the city from a seemingly suspended space, awaiting the dawn to gently colour the city palate each day, with first light. An office alcove hides discreetly adjacent to the master bedroom away from busy family areas.

His and hers walk in robes and a generous ensuite complete the parents retreat while down stairs with another balcony and second family lounge are 3 more bedrooms with built ins and desks plus a sheltered out door living deck, protected from the elements while overviewing a magical back drop of landscaped gardens and natural forest with walking and bike tracks to the nearby Signal Station.

A dedicated laundry room opens to a covered utility area and terrace garden with a lockable store, off street parking for 3 vehicles and room to park a boat or caravan. Understated from the street, 31 Aotea Road also offers a surprise internal access 1 car garage with generous storage and an adjacent powder room for the use of guests on entry to the property.

External security lighting completes the significant investment required to bring this outstanding project to completion through an inspired mix of visionary vendors, unconventional architecture, clever engineering and energy efficient design.
