Lot 2/636 Summerleas Rd is an extraordinary, hidden masterpiece, says property partner at The Agency Hobart, Georgie Rayner.
It is a property that stands as a testament to architectural precision and thoughtful integration into its natural setting, she said.

“This property is timeless. It is a credit to its owners Rebecca and Jeremy Wallbank,” she said.
“Every angle, every room, every view, every piece of architectural design, every fixture and fitting, it is extraordinary,” Mrs Rayner said.
“The hairs stand up on your arms when you visit this property.
“It’s an experience that will leave you speechless.
“It is also a home that feels comforting, homely. The worries of the world come off your shoulders.
“Just from the “coming soon” marketing last week ahead of the launch this week, the inquiries have not stopped.”
The property unfolds across two titles with more than 22ha and 109ha (327 acres), including untouched eucalypt forest.
From every aspect of the property, sweeping, unrestricted views stretch across forested hills and expansive waterways.
In one direction, views stretch out across Bruny Island, Opossum Bay, Coningham and Cape Raoul. Turn around, and there’s an uninterrupted view of the majestic mountain.
