A modest ‘hut’ with a dazzling interior has broken the suburban record in a beachy Australian town.
Spread over 10 hectares and overlooking Tasmania’s iconic coastline – the house is the perfect mix of outdoor chic and cozy cabin living.
The house is located in the fishing village of Nubeena on the Tasman Peninsula, just a 90-minute drive from Hobart’s vibrant city center.
It was recently sold to expats for $2.8 million, after being bought for $1.16 million in 2022.
Real estate agent Georgie Rayner revealed almost 200 people jumped at the chance when the home was first advertised, with many eager to embrace the Tasman beyond.

Perfect for those who prefer to live off-the-grid and with minimal technology, the property is relatively self-contained and also features a private full bath with views of the peninsula
The kitchen, dining and living areas have glass walls overlooking the peninsula
The property is conveniently located within a 15-minute drive of local shops and cafes and 30 minutes from the famous 3 Capes walking trails and Shipsterns Bluff.
Despite its convenient location, the property is surrounded by bushland on all sides, offering residents a real sense of tranquility, away from dazzling lights and city noises.
You can stroll along the bay or surf at Roaring Beach before retreating to the luxurious, yet modest home.
The property is divided into two main wings, connected by an open corridor.
Open and airy, every aspect of the house makes you feel at one with nature
Most of the building materials were locally sourced and the Australian architecture was heroic
One area contains four spacious bedrooms and then opens onto a patio and terrace.
Then you step into the kitchen, dining room and living room with glass walls overlooking the peninsula.
The building also has a separate sauna, a barn with a converted terrace and a studio that is perfect as a hobby room.

In terms of energy and water, the house has 2.85 kWh of solar energy, gas hot water and two 20,000 liter water tanks that are fed by the overflow from the drinking water tanks and feed an automated sprinkler system.
