13 Risby Road, Middleton, Tas 7163

Thoughtfully designed and constructed for the local region and climate, rarely found in Tasmania. 

High-quality for year-round comfort, with living spaces soaking in all-day sun and the nearby water views, all while remaining incredibly private and secure.

Perfectly suited to families of all sizes and stages of life, this is a home that evolves with you, whether you're upsizing, downsizing, hosting guests, or living the multi-generational life.

Wake up every day to enjoy the sunrise over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and iconic Bruny Island. Set in an elevated position, the home takes full advantage of its stunning natural surrounds.

The heart of the home is the stylish modern farmhouse kitchen. Open-plan with the living room, freed by cathedral ceilings and expansive windows that draw the outdoors in, paired beautifully with the Daikin ducted heating and cooling system for year-round comfort, fully wireless and remotely accessible through MyPlace. Turn the home on before you even arrive. 

On lazy Sunday mornings, enjoy pancakes with the family's hen-laid eggs, cooked on the dual-oven 6-burner Falcon stove at an enormous solid island bench.

The property features a separate, self-contained guest wing-connected via the entrance hall, offering true multi-generational living or luxurious guest accommodation. The large wood-burner is a favourite, providing that nostalgic and cozy heat.

The eastern outlook from here is breathtaking, full of rolling paddocks, ornamental trees, across to the beautiful silhouette of Bruny Island over the glimmering seawater. 

Bring the entire family together in the European-inspired courtyard, sheltered from the elements and basking in afternoon sun, with direct views of the kids' trampoline and slide.

A triple-bay, lined and insulated garage with electric roller doors accompanies an original timber barn, rich in local history from the area's cherry farm roots.

Just minutes from the property, you'll find a treasure trove of local delights-the acclaimed Peppermint Bay Lodge offering incredible food and wine right on the waterfront, multiple jetties and boat ramps for weekend adventures, and access to some of Tasmania's most picturesque secluded beaches. Surrounding the area are story-book country schools, award-winning wineries, boutique cheese producers, and famous coastal walks and lookouts that make this region such a tightly held and sought-after pocket. Whether it's boating, bushwalking, fine dining or simply exploring with the kids, the best of Tasmania's Channel lifestyle is right at your doorstep.

Step outside and you'll find everything for a self-sufficient lifestyle:

• Sectioned paddocks perfect for livestock, dogs and family pets
• A generous vegetable patch and poly tunnel for year-round planting
• An unlimited spring-fed dam plus an additional 75,000 litres of stored rain water
• Animal-proof fencing, ornamental trees, and privacy screening around the entire perimeter

The resident pygmy goats and laying hens are happy to stay on and live with the new family.

This is a rare opportunity less than an hour from Hobart, yet a world away. A real must-see family home.
