This distinctive contemporary-traditional home was architecturally designed by Jiří Lev, with meticulous craftsmanship and a clear focus on the use of natural, non-toxic materials to enhance occupant health, comfort, and longevity. Every element has been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a home that is both visually striking and deeply comfortable to live in.
The property frontage is defined by a charming macrocarpa picket fence, rising to a higher solid fence at the rear to provide privacy while maintaining pleasant views to surrounding trees and hills. Locally quarried sandstone steps, set between established pencil pines, lead to a small hardwood deck and a beautifully balanced façade that reflects the Georgian village character of Ross. The exterior is finished in a charred grey stain, evoking traditional Tasmanian tarred timber buildings.
An Egyptian red six-panel hardwood door with solid brass hardware opens into a welcoming entrance hall and inside, the home immediately impresses with lofty 3-metre ceilings supported by substantial cedar beams, natural pine lining, and warm Tasmanian oak floorboards. Generous double-glazed windows with timber Venetian blinds allow abundant natural light throughout the interior.
Constructed entirely with natural materials and deliberately avoiding synthetic paints or treatments, the interior sets a benchmark for healthy living. Breathable wall systems help regulate humidity, air quality, and temperature. There are no microplastic-emitting carpets, no vinyl, and no off-gassing paints.
Year-round comfort is ensured with a premium Daikin Zena air-conditioning unit, controllable remotely via mobile and capable of warming the home within minutes, even on the coldest nights. Provision has been made for the easy installation of a wood heater if desired. Floor-to-ceiling convection doors enable effective passive ventilation and heat transfer to bedrooms, eliminating the need for fans or ducted systems. Ceiling, walls, and floors are thoroughly insulated.
The home includes semi built-in European furniture and appliances. The bathroom features natural linoleum flooring (not plastic) and incorporates a separate laundry tub with a washing machine/dryer. Dishwasher connections are in place in the kitchen if required.
An exceptionally large backyard offers outstanding future potential, including space for another dwelling (STCA), a generous extension, ornamental or market gardens, or a large garage or workshop. Verandah, carport/garage, and landscaping plans — designed to complement the home and customised to the new owner’s preferences may be provided by the architect.
Located just a 7-minute walk from the main street, the home is perfectly positioned — close enough to enjoy the amenities of Ross, yet far enough to retain peace and privacy. Ross is celebrated for its Georgian architecture, mature deciduous trees, historic 1836 stone bridge, post office, boutiques, cafés, restaurants, churches, and museums. Conveniently located approximately halfway between Hobart and Launceston, Ross offers an exceptional balance of country living and connectivity.
