269 Nelson Road, Mount Nelson TAS 7007

(SOLD 3/4/24) This unique property is the happy result of the meeting of Mid-Century Modern architectural design and a distinctive Japanese/Scandinavian sensibility, rooted heavily in the Australian bush. The building sits with ease in its beautiful natural environment, privately nestled into the hillside, giving a sense of seclusion, not easy to find in suburbia.
Mount Nelson is unique in its character, being so close to everything, but feeling like a real escape It's where the forest seems to meet the sea, high above the action below. The property backs directly on to beautiful Bicentennial Park - for your daily dose of eco-therapy The view is simply stunning, seen from almost every room of the house - an ever changing scene that will mesmerize you. This is a home that being more than shelter, nurtures your health and well being too.
Seen through a wall of glass, the river Derwent stretching wide before you, in a 180 degree view over Bicentennial Park and Sandy Bay from the city and the iconic Tasman Bridge and Wrest Point Casino out to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel... Breathtaking!
Clerestory windows and the generous use of glass throughout, create spaces that are light-filled with an inherent indoor/outdoor connection. The house has a desirable NE aspect, with almost all rooms benefiting from this orientation, as well as capturing the amazing view.
Everywhere you look, carefully considered details elevate the spaces beyond the ordinary. Cantilevered window seats in two of the four bedrooms extend the space into the view beyond. A large twisted vine of wisteria emulates an overgrown bonsaithe Japanese inspired elements cleverly curated, inside and out, with a timber battened plywood ceiling and hanging paper lanterns in the downstairs living room, adding to the zen-infused vibe
Venturing into the garden, stone steps and timber paths lead down the sloping block to what can only be described as a hidden jewel. Built early in the new millennium, the timber-clad studio was an indulgence in bespoke craftsmanship and design. Featuring specialty Tasmanian timbers throughout, it is utterly unique and very special. The copper clad sculptural roof is shaped to resemble a leaf - or perhaps a sail - marrying the concepts of bush and water so synonymous with this property. Inside, the fine bespoke detailing continues to astound and delight, with the ceiling like the hull of a boat, and the double glazed windows asymmetrically shaped, placed to capture beguiling natural vistas. This beautiful space can be used for WFH; as an artist/writer's retreat or guest accommodation.
