111 Cades Drive, Kingston

Some properties are admired for their features. Others are remembered for how they make you feel. This extraordinary, Japanese-inspired architectural retreat is one of those rare places where the moment you arrive, the outside world seems to fall away and only 12 minutes to Hobart CBD.

Privately nestled on approximately 2.012 hectares (approximately 4.97 acres) of established grounds, this remarkable residence offers a level of peace, privacy and serenity that is increasingly difficult to find. A truly individual home, hand-built and crafted in 1992, it reflects a deep appreciation for natural materials, thoughtful design and a harmonious connection with the surrounding Tasmanian landscape.

Wrapped in vertical Tasmanian oak boards and rich with handcrafted detail, the home reveals a fascinating interplay of texture, warmth and light. Slate floors provide natural thermal qualities, while full-length opening window doors in each room draw the outdoors inside, embracing the garden, water views and mountain outlooks. The result is a home that feels connected to every season, every changing light and the natural beauty beyond its walls.

A home that adapts to the way you live.

With the flexibility to accommodate up to five bedrooms, the floor plan offers an exceptional opportunity to create a home that works around you. Multiple living spaces provide room to retreat, gather, create or simply enjoy a little solitude, while the versatility of the layout lends itself beautifully to working from home. Whether you envision dedicated offices, creative studios, guest accommodation or additional bedroom spaces, there is room to shape the property around your own lifestyle and aspirations.

At the heart of the home, the Tasmanian oak kitchen is both practical and inviting, with generous drawer storage and beautiful garden views that make even the simplest moments feel special. The bathroom continues the home's emphasis on relaxation, with sliding windows and a wonderfully deep bath — an invitation to slow down, soak and savour the stillness.

Twenty years in the making. A garden with a soul and many changing colours through the seasons.

Beyond the home lies a landscape that tells a story of patience, dedication and an enduring love of nature. Twenty years in the making, the established gardens are a defining feature of this property, thoughtfully nurtured into a private sanctuary where every pathway and stone contributes to its Character.

Meandering red-brick paths lead through the grounds, while substantial rock walls, crafted and positioned throughout the property, create a timeless sense of permanence and belonging. Multiple decks offer beautiful places to pause, entertain or take in the water and mountain views, while the dam and paddocks introduce further possibilities for those seeking space, lifestyle flexibility and a closer connection with the land.

This is not a garden created overnight. It is the result of two decades of care, work and vision — an established setting with maturity, depth and a sense of place that only time can provide.

A spectacular setting for entertaining and gathering.

Adding another wonderful dimension to this unique property is a fantastic entertaining area, offering the perfect setting to host family and friends, celebrate special occasions or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful surrounds. Blending beautifully with the established gardens and natural landscape, this inviting space is designed for long lunches, relaxed summer evenings and memorable gatherings throughout the seasons. Whether entertaining a crowd or enjoying an intimate get-together, it provides another special place to appreciate the privacy, tranquillity and extraordinary lifestyle this remarkable property offers.

Craftsmanship, character and spaces to inspire.

A wood heater, framed by hand-laid rock walls and complemented by inviting seating areas, forms a wonderfully distinctive gathering space, bringing warmth and atmosphere to the cooler Tasmanian months. Solar hot water adds another practical consideration to this individual residence.

Above the home, a substantial garage and workshop offers an impressive additional dimension. Elevated to capture its own views, this versatile space features power, concrete flooring and a French cleat wall storage system. Whether for a tradesperson, artisan, collector, hobbyist or anyone requiring substantial workspace, it provides valuable functionality rarely found alongside a residence of this character.

Privacy. Peace. A life less ordinary.

What truly distinguishes this property is not any single feature, but the way everything comes together. The handcrafted architecture, the natural materials, the established gardens, the surrounding landscape and the extraordinary sense of seclusion combine to create an environment that feels genuinely removed from the pace of everyday life.

Here, mornings can begin with garden views and birdsong. Days can unfold between home, studio, workshop and outdoor spaces. Evenings can be spent beside the warmth of the fire, on one of the decks or simply enjoying the quiet that surrounds you.

For buyers seeking something beyond the conventional — a character-filled architectural home, a flexible work-from-home lifestyle, room to create and a sanctuary that has evolved over decades — this is a property with a story, a soul and a presence all of its own.

111 Cades Drive is more than a place to live. It is a private world, twenty years in the making, where craftsmanship meets nature and peace becomes a way of life.
