Architecturally designed by award winning Tasmanian/Victorian firm Archier, Casa Acton is a coastal retreat nestled upon 20 hectares of fenced waterside land, with just Crown reserve separating it from the pristine white sands of Coswell Beach on lutruwita/Tasmania's picturesque east coast. The award winning Casa Acton embodies the firm's values of living better through connection to place by offering the luxury of peace, privacy, space, and exclusive access to this exquisite slice of island living.

Casa Acton achieves the highest environmental performance to ensure the home reduces post-occupancy power consumption and remains cool during summer and retains heat in the winter. The cabin sits in unison with its surrounds, visually anchored to the site by sandstone flooring providing a tactile surface underfoot that doubles as a significant thermal mass.  

Extensive glazing bathes the home in natural light, framing iconic views encompassing Freycinet Peninsula's Hazards granite mountain range and the ever changing ocean vista beyond.  Bifolds at the front of the dwelling open directly onto a generously proportioned timber deck to create seamless indoor/outdoor living, further extending the living space for larger gatherings or days simply lounging in the sun and salt air. 

Clean lines and a monochromatic palette complemented by the warmth of timber hues, culminate in a relaxing space to unwind, ensuring time spent at the cabin is a truly immersive coastal experience. Amongst the comfortable living space a superbly appointed kitchen and bathroom bring new meaning to the term 'prefab', showing a  new way to enjoy the very best of contemporary living on a secluded off grid site. 

For those who can bear to leave, a short wander down to the beach extends endless opportunities to beachcomb for the beautiful shells that wash up on these shores, paddle boarding, fishing, surfing or snorkelling.  The township of Swansea is a short drive away to stock up on supplies or pick up a coffee from one of the many local cafes, and of course the cabin is well positioned to enjoy the many vineyards of the Great Eastern Drive. The east coast is also known for productive viticulture and agriculture, with the opportunity to capitalise on the land size of this property for grazing or vines. 

Borne out of a desire to challenge architectural thinking and boundaries, this property takes contemporary design solutions, innovation and building practices and combines it with the ancient remedies of nature, fresh air, saltwater, and space, to offer a truly remarkable antidote to the modern world.
