The Ultimate Solar-Passive Beach Shack in BLACKMANS BAY, Tasmania for sale

$525,000 plus
Privately positioned, with remote entry after video intercom screening, is this funky, energy efficient, truly relaxed, family home. Lovingly crafted in 2010, designed to capture and utilise the natural warmth generated by the logical orientation in order to maximise sun exposure. The warmth is then retained with the use of concrete flooring for thermal mass, double glazing to all the windows and sliding doors, plus insulation throughout the walls and the ceiling. A 5kw solar power system with 26 roof panels means electricity bills can virtually be forgotten. Energy consumption is kept to a bare minimum with the use of highly efficient radiant ceiling heat panels as well as low energy LED and fluro lighting.
The thoughtful and flexible, open plan layout provides enough places for the family to entertain, to destress, to be creative, to be together or to be alone, yet there are no wasted spaces or superfluous extras. The main bedroom can be divided into two if more rooms are required and it has two walk in robes each with access to the two way ensuite. The second double bedroom also has its own ensuite so that guests or the oldest child doesn't have to share and bedroom three has a beautiful built in timber bed with storage drawers underneath and a walk in robe.
Using recycled timbers as a feature and local timbers in the construction, such as exposed laminated Tasmanian Oak rafters, Cypress Pine decking, marine ply cabinetry in the kitchen with solid Tassie Oak benchtops, combined with the stylish use of bright colours means this incredibly unique property stands out amongst the boring newly built homes around in today's market. Even the concrete floor has been made into artwork with the use of colour and natural beach sand. This is a place where personality is encouraged to shine and the longing for a little bit of self-sufficiency can be satisfied. The productive gardens remind you what real food should taste like and also enhance your sense of absolute privacy.
Take a short 300 metre walk, past the locally famous 'Blowhole', after which this street was named, to the stunning Blackmans Bay Beach, where you can swim, sometimes surf, dine at popular restaurants or enjoy barbeques in the park adjoining the beach, whilst the kids explore the playground or skate park. An easy 15 minute commute finds you in downtown Hobart.
