Perched atop of Launceston on almost thirty acres of undulating land, designed by renowned architect Robert Morris Nunn, "CULTOWA" is grounded in its environment and composed of the constituent materials that define the postmodernist era. The home is a song of brick, glass, timber and stone and positions its occupants and their guests to take full advantage of the sweeping vistas that surround. Architecturally unique, this property won "House of the Year" in 1988 and has since remained one of Launceston's most prized homes.

With two large living areas, the home has the capacity to cater to the flexible needs of the modern family. A private sitting room, formal lounge or fifth bedroom is one such space. The most impressive though is the lower-levelled formal living room with a timber exposed ceiling, open stone fire-place and panoramic vistas down the valley all the way to Evandale.

Designed with multiple wings, the kitchen and dining space is the hub of the residence. The master suite claims the last bay of the eastern wing and enjoys the privacy of the garden aspect. Two further bedrooms are also within the eastern wing, both also enjoy views to the gardens. Two bathrooms, the study and separate laundry complete this wing.

The secondary wing, separated by split levels and graced by its own glass atrium, reveals the fourth and fifth bedrooms, one which offers an ensuite bathroom. Here too you are lead to the ten-meter inground pool, hot tub and steam room with breathtaking views of the city. 

Adjoining the pool atrium, a private courtyard, which is also accessible from one of the living spaces, is adorned with established trees and space for family and guests to enjoy. Whilst still giving consideration to the internal luxuries and amenity, the grounds of this property truly offer so much possibility. A rotunda overlooks the full-sized tennis court and offers mesmerizing views down the valley.

Its twenty-eight acres comprise undulating hills and soft gradients to take in the views, whilst the established trees surrounding the home are positioned for privacy whilst not sacrificing its incredible vistas. Having been held by the same family for over thirty years, this property has remained one of Launceston's most unique and prized homes.

Less than fifteen minutes drive to the center of the Launceston city and a few minutes drive to the Newstead shopping precinct, this home is the private architectural lifestyle property that you never thought you would find this close to the city. Contact Lochie today to register your interest.
