“Gorgeous” is how Nick Bond describes this Cradoc acreage, and it’s easy to understand why.

This striking modern home on 2ha captures sweeping, uninterrupted views across the Huon River estuary, stretching north toward Sleeping Beauty and south to the Hartz Mountains.

The elevated outlook takes in a wide section of the estuary, with spectacular sunsets rolling across the valley becoming a daily ritual, framed by constantly changing light, colour and movement.

From the moment you step inside, Mr Bond said, the view becomes impossible to ignore.

“It’s mesmerising. You find that you can’t stop looking at it. You gravitate towards the windows,” he said.

But as the Harcourts Huon Valley business owner said, it’s the meticulous attention to detail that truly sets this property apart.

“It is as immaculately presented as it is built with a perfectionist’s eye for detail,” he said. “The owners went above and beyond in every way, which is great news for the property’s next owner.”

The home’s intelligent design positions all the spaces people use most on the waterside.

The expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area sit proudly on the northwestern corner, perfectly oriented to draw in sunlight throughout the day while showcasing those captivating views.

“The kitchen is a standout feature that I believe will grab the attention of buyers,” Mr Bond said. “It has integrated cupboards, dark colours, and a substantial walk-through pantry.”

The three-bedroom home’s entertainment credentials are exceptional.

“There is the outdoor entertaining area that can be an indoor space, too,” Mr Bond said.

“It’s an example of the very clever design of this property.”

The fully adaptable alfresco zone can be completely closed off to create a protected outdoor living room in cooler months or opened wide in summer.

“The wood fire in the lounge room backs onto this covered entertainment room with a built-in barbecue and sliding stacker doors that open to the deck. Perfect all year round,” Mr Bond said.

The western deck spans the full length of the home and steps easily down to the large, level front lawn, extending the entertaining options and providing a perfect space for children, pets, or relaxed afternoons overlooking the water.

It’s this kind of thoughtful flow between indoor and outdoor spaces that makes the property so liveable.

Accommodation is thoughtfully separated across the home.

The master bedroom suite captures the magnificent outlook and features a walk-through semi-open ensuite, with a showstopping bath positioned perfectly to soak in the scenery.

Two double bedrooms are complemented by an integrated study.

“The floorplan puts the master bedroom, entertainment and living areas all positioned on the waterside, where you would spend most of your time,” Mr Bond said.

Then there’s the shed.

It is ideally suited to mechanics, builders, tradespeople, car collectors, or anyone seeking high-quality space for business, hobbies or serious lifestyle pursuits.

Mr Bond said the owner built it to suit specific work needs while also including room for caravans, boats and other bits and pieces.

He said it is “definitely oversized” compared to the norm.

The impressive 20m x 16m Colorbond structure features six roller doors, drive-through access, and substantial clearance.

“For someone that has a car or bike collection, lots of toys, or has business needs, this shed will be ideal,” Mr Bond said.

“It’s just one of the many things that the owners considered when building just a couple of years ago,” he said.

“They invested in the shed, in water tanks, in landscaping, and in a top quality home — it is all very high quality.”

Since launch, the property has attracted strong interest.

“It’s only been on the market for about one week, but already it has been inspected by half a dozen locals, and we have had inquiries from people who are based interstate,” Mr Bond said.

“Huon properties in this price bracket tend to appeal to mainland buyers who are looking to move here; to find their piece of Tassie paradise.”

“For someone looking to downsize from a busy city or mainland regional hub to a Tassie lifestyle home, this one in Porta Dr would be ideal,” Mr Bond said.

“It offers a bit of everything: a superb home, a big shed, 2ha of land, and wonderful views. It ticks all sorts of boxes.”

No.44 Porta Dr, Cradoc is listed for sale with Harcourts Huon Valley. It is priced at “Offers over $1.985m”. There will be an open home on Saturday at 10am.
