Spend some time with us in our home in Tasmania.
1450 South Arm Road, Sandford is a property, in part designed by DesignHaus Architects, elevated on a steep hill, comprising an internal area of 469m², 6 outdoor decks of 26m², a separate 72m² studio giving nearly 1000m² on a block of five acres. There are six bedrooms, a large dining room in the middle of the house, two kitchens and three bathrooms enabling the house to be divided into two functioning homes by the use of sliding wooden doors. The architectural design of 1450 is a long format (70 metres), with the most private spaces to the north, through to the public areas at the south, one almost fully glass eastern wall with decks giving expansive views across the tidal waters of Pipe Clay Lagoon, Fredrick Henry Bay and Storm Bay, and offers multiple, flexible spaces for a broad range of interactions and gatherings. 1450 is on the south-east coast of Tasmania and is 20 minutes from Hobart airport and 30 minutes to Hobart.
The house sits within the City of Clarence, once part of the traditional land of the Moomairemener (Mumarimina) who appreciated the region for its rich variety of birds, animals, seafood, and vegetation. In terms of area, Clarence is one of the largest cities in Australia with 191 kilometres of coastline, including over twenty beaches, the most popular of which are Bellerive Beach, Howrah Beach, Seven Mile Beach and Clifton Beach. More than a third of the total city area is untouched bushland, with many parks, and large areas given over to nature reserves.
