"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." Frank Lloyd Wright
Welcome to the Hobart Entrance.
Architectural designed and built in 1980, the original owner of the property was a Swiss expat, who also owned a local wood mill. With access to the best timber Tasmania has to offer, nothing was spared in the design and build of the property, which the locals nicknamed as the "Swiss Millionaire". In 2016, the property went through a major renovation by famous designer at Beautiful Home Studio. The key of the renovation is to maintain the original features of the property, but bring in the comfort of modern living - spectacular view, rare Tasmanian timber, each bedroom with its own ensuite, open space, in harmony with the Tasmanian sun and surrounding nature.
