140 Hickmans Road, Margate, Tas 7054

Commanding an elevated, north-east-facing position across approximately three acres, this architecturally designed residence brings together remarkable energy efficiency, flexible family living and sweeping views across North West Bay to kunanyi / Mount Wellington.

Conceived by Green Design and distinguished by its contemporary form and sections of Macrocarpa-clad fascia, the home was created to respond thoughtfully to its setting. An impressive 8.5-star energy rating, geothermal heating, double glazing and LED lighting established its sustainability credentials from the outset. These have since been strengthened by the addition of an extensive rooftop solar array and EV charger, supporting a more energy-conscious and self-sufficient way of life. The property is also cabled for Starlink connectivity.

Recently refreshed with new carpet and a complete interior repaint, the home feels warm, calm and immediately inviting. Expansive glazing draws natural light deep into the interior, while carefully framed outlooks connect each living space with the surrounding bushland, gardens and water beyond.

At the heart of the home, the generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has been designed for both everyday family life and effortless entertaining. The kitchen makes a striking statement with concrete benchtops, quality European appliances and an electrically recessed rangehood. A substantial walk-in pantry, integrated herb planter, wine storage, custom island lighting and cleverly considered cabinetry provide both character and practicality.

The adjoining dining and living spaces unfold against a spectacular backdrop across North West Bay, with kunanyi / Mount Wellington rising beyond. Bespoke double-glazed windows and doors capture the changing light throughout the day, while hydronic in-slab floor heating provides gentle, consistent warmth underfoot. Used in conjunction with the wood heater, the home remains exceptionally comfortable throughout the cooler months. Whether gathering around the dining table, relaxing beside the fire or simply watching the landscape shift with the seasons, the connection to the setting is ever-present.

Flexible accommodation provides five bedrooms, including a generous main suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite, together with two additional bathrooms, a family bathroom and a separate laundry.

A newly created multipurpose rumpus room adds another valuable dimension to the floor plan. Ideal as a retreat for teenagers, games room, media space, home office or gym, its proximity to a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom also provides excellent potential for guests, extended family or multigenerational living.

Outside, a substantial suspended deck takes full advantage of the outlook and provides an inviting setting for long lunches, summer evenings and entertaining with friends. At the front of the home taking in spectacular views of the D'entrecasteaux Channel, an outdoor spa offers a private place to unwind while watching the sun rise across North West Bay. Additionally the large lined dam provides an idyllic place to swim during warmer weather, while the established grounds give children room to explore and families the opportunity to embrace a relaxed country lifestyle.

An irrigated and netted orchard, productive vegetable gardens, a netted chicken run and extensive shedding support those seeking a more sustainable connection to the land. Three gated access points enhance practicality: one at the main entrance, another immediately behind the rear deck and a third toward the upper section of the property near the orchard. Generous driveway parking and convenient access to the sheds and workshop areas further support the property's versatility. Beneath the home, additional parking, storage, a utility room and workshop space provide even greater flexibility.

Private without feeling isolated, the property is only minutes from Margate and within easy reach of Coningham Beach, respected schools, cafés, specialty shops and recreational facilities. Nearby hiking and mountain-biking trails provide further opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape and enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.

Architecturally distinctive, environmentally considered and beautifully connected to its landscape, this is a home that offers space to gather, room to retreat and an exceptional lifestyle overlooking the water.
