9 Direction Drive

Set on 1.4 hectares (circa 3.5 acres) of expansive and private land, this is a rare opportunity to secure a true Tasmanian sanctuary, offering space, views, and seclusion in a tightly held pocket of Otago - all just 13 minutes from the CBD. With an uninterrupted outlook across the mountain(s) and Derwent River, and a home that blends original character with an architecturally designed modern extension, this property offers both awe-inspiring lifestyle and unlimited flexibility. Securely protected via a private access gate, the considered design features multiple living zones and a thoughtful, bespoke layout, providing exceptional living for families, lifestyle buyers or those seeking additional expansive space for which to pursue their dreams. The sun-drenched open plan kitchen, living and dining area form the heart of the home, which facilitates a warm intimate environment designed for everyday living whilst providing an evocative space for convivial entertaining. A large custom engineered panoramic window evokes the spirit of 'grand designs' which acts as a real-life work-of-art for the living space. The well-appointed kitchen features European appliances and expansive bench space, over-size pantry, convenient central island and double oven, connecting like poetry in motion to the surrounding zones and enabling an inspirational hub for preparing meals. Capacious windows welcome copious natural light and day-dreaming is optional whilst pondering the sweeping views across the River Derwent to Kunanyi / Mount Wellington. The heart of this home flows effortlessly to the outdoor entertaining area, creating a seamless indooroutdoor interface. Creature comforts abound with hydronic heating, ducted heating and double glazing whilst a Scandi-style wood fire heater provides for an atmospheric glow to warm the hearts and thaw the coldest winters. Accommodation is well considered throughout, with the jewel-in-the-crown being the spacious master bedroom with inspirational outlook, replete with private ensuite. The original romantic cottage/farmhouse is now a separate, conjoined wing providing two additional bedrooms, each with built-in storage and serviced by a central family bathroom with modern accoutrements. An enormous secondary living zone offers further flexibility, which may provide for a teenager's retreat, a work-from-home setup, or a decadent opportunity to play your favourite sonata. As an alternative, the space would allow for a fourth generous bedroom with little effort. Outdoors, the property truly shines and takes you back to a time when life wasn't so rapidly paced that we could observe the smell of gumtrees and sea breeze in tandem, whilst marvelling over the seemingly endless sense of space that comes with 3.5 acres. A gigantic sandstone courtyard entertaining area will be the epicentre of outdoor revelry for generations to come and is complemented by established beautiful garden beds, towering oaks and seasonal colour, creating a luxurious and functional outdoor environment. Outbuildings include a double carport and cubby house, providing ample space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, and children to play, whilst the scale of the land offers scope for an additional dwelling (STCA), additional parking, gardens, animals or simply enjoying the space and privacy. The property also includes a large, agricultural scale shed suitable for vehicles, equipment or storage. Throughout the year, the multiple outdoor zones provide an opportunity to connect with the seasons as they come to life with vibrant colour. Situated within a quiet and tightly held pocket, the property is ideally located just a short drive to Hobart's CBD. Surrounded by natural beauty and just moments from the river's edge, this is a lifestyle choice that combines space, flexibility and convenience in one compelling package. Held and cared for by the same family for over five generations, this is a home that carries a genuine sense of warmth and is ready for its next chapters.
