Set across almost four acres of beautifully positioned land with commanding panoramic views across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to Bruny Island, this exceptional Kettering property offers a rare combination of architectural excellence, privacy and lifestyle. Designed by the renowned Mark Linardi, the home has been thoughtfully crafted to work in harmony with its surroundings. Every room embraces natural light, warmth and the remarkable outlook, while the home's enduring design and exceptional construction quality ensure it feels as impressive today as when it was first conceived. The home's design immediately sets it apart. Soaring ceilings, extensive glazing, striking angles and carefully considered architectural lines create spaces that feel dynamic, engaging and filled with character. Rather than relying on conventional square rooms, the design introduces subtle variations throughout, ensuring each space offers its own perspective and personality while maintaining a seamless flow from one area to the next. Beyond its architectural credentials, there is an undeniable warmth to the home. The extensive use of Tasmanian Oak, natural slate, statement colours and abundant sunlight creates an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. The quality of the finishes and craftsmanship is evident throughout, delivering a level of elegance that is rarely found and impossible to replicate in standard contemporary homes. At the heart of the home lies a stunning Tuscan-inspired courtyard, flooded with sunshine and providing a beautiful transition between indoor and outdoor living. This central space enhances the home's sense of openness while creating sheltered areas to entertain, relax or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The gourmet kitchen is both functional and impressive, featuring granite benchtops, quality timber cabinetry, premium appliances, a walk-in pantry and generous preparation space. Designed for those who love to cook and entertain, it forms the social heart of the home while connecting seamlessly to the flourishing kitchen garden, where fresh produce is quite literally at your doorstep. Accommodation has been equally well considered. The private master suite enjoys beautiful water views and a luxurious ensuite, while the separate bedroom wing provides excellent family accommodation. A flexible fourth bedroom or dedicated home office adds versatility for modern lifestyles, whether working from home, accommodating guests or pursuing creative interests. Outside, the property offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Established flower gardens provide colour and beauty throughout the seasons, while productive pasture, extensive vegetable gardens, a greenhouse, orchard and substantial outbuildings create an environment that is both picturesque and practical. Whether your passion is gardening, hobby farming, self-sufficiency or simply enjoying wide open spaces, the opportunities here are exceptional. Sustainability has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout, with passive solar design, solar power, substantial water storage and low ongoing running costs enhancing both comfort and efficiency. Despite its peaceful and private setting, the property remains conveniently close to Kettering's marina, local amenities, the Channel region's renowned produce and wineries, and within comfortable commuting distance of Hobart. This is a property that offers far more than a home. It is a showcase of thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship and enduring quality, delivering a lifestyle defined by comfort, beauty and some of Southern Tasmania's most breathtaking coastal scenery.
