396C Strickland Avenue SOUTH HOBART

Escape to a lifestyle of serene sophistication in this architecturally designed, light-filled retreat nestled among the gum trees just a few minutes from the vibrant heart of South Hobart (SOHO) and the natural beauty of kunanyi / Mt Wellington.

Set on a stunning 516sqm internal block (one of only three strata titles), this exceptional home offers peaceful seclusion without sacrificing connection or convenience.

Designed by acclaimed architect Nigel Legge and completed in 2017, this Japanese-inspired haven was crafted with sustainability, elegance, and a deep connection to nature in mind. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered—from the use of natural materials to the intentional positioning of windows and doors to maximise light, privacy, and picturesque views.

The open-plan living and dining area flows effortlessly onto your private deck through full-height glass doors, inviting you to relax, entertain, or simply take in the sweeping sea of green below. The interior showcases stunning natural timbers throughout, offering warmth and texture. Clever storage is subtly integrated, along with a separate laundry and quality European appliances—offering practical design that doesn’t compromise on style.

Climate comfort is assured with a reverse cycle heat pump for year-round convenience and a beautiful Morso wood fireplace that warms both the main level and the upstairs retreat.

The main bedroom is a sanctuary in itself, with elegant pitched ceilings and windows that frame the ever-changing treetop and mountain vistas. The bathroom is pure indulgence—featuring a deep soaking tub with a view to the forest canopy, a separate shower, and floor-to-ceiling gold-rust ceramic tiles that elevate the space to spa-like serenity.

The home is being sold fully furnished—with everything you could possibly need to continue operating a successful short-stay accommodation, move in immediately, or use it as a private escape.

With two bedrooms, one luxurious bathroom, and a 7.9-star energy efficiency rating, this 86sqm residence is a rare blend of eco-conscious sustainable design and refined comfort. Currently operating as a professionally managed Airbnb, it presents a turnkey investment opportunity with strong occupancy and consistent returns.
