165B Stringer Road, Redwood Valley, Tasman

Country lifestyle in the sun

If you've been hankering for the quintessential quiet country life for a while now, architect designed 165B Stringer Road, built less than four years ago is just the spot and it comes with glorious sea views. Little more than 14 kilometres from Richmond's popular shopping centre, the one hectare property is positioned high on a ridge adjacent to a protective stand of redwoods and pines, with grandstand views down a gently sloping rural valley to the Waimea Estuary and Tasman Bay. Two kilometres off the State Highway and 300 metres along a shared private road, it could not be more peaceful. The only sound is birdsong. Set among an enclave of lifestyle blocks and contemporary homes, the 169sqm three double bedroom home is built on Ribcraft foundations with stained cedar and smart black brick cladding, a Coloursteel roof and silver grey joinery. The laundry is literally the only room in the entire house which does not boast a sea view. There is a large Masport wood burner, a heat transfer system which warms every room through adjustable ceiling vents, under floor heating in the bathrooms and full ceiling and wall insulation. Large windows and ranch sliders allow all day sunshine, making this a very cosy home in winter. In the summer months, deep eaves provide enough shade to keep the interior from becoming too hot. Three 33,000 litre rainwater tanks fitted with carbon filters maintain a fresh water supply. A second filter system under the kitchen sink repeats the filtering process for drinking water. There is an eco friendly wastewater and sewerage system, a fenced vegetable garden, chicken coop and an enormous shed with a concrete floor and a covered double carport entrance.
