44 Porta Drive, CRADOC, TAS 7109

44 Porta Drive presents a remarkable lifestyle opportunity where contemporary design, exceptional entertaining spaces, and serious shed infrastructure combine with one of the Huon Valley's most captivating outlooks. Positioned on a beautifully proportioned lifestyle holding, this striking modern home 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, delivering constantly changing light, colour and movement, with spectacular sunsets rolling across the valley becoming a daily ritual.

At the heart of the home is an intelligently planned living environment created for connection, comfort and entertaining. The expansive open plan kitchen, dining and living area sits proudly on the north western corner of the home, perfectly oriented to draw in sunlight throughout the day while framing the water views as a permanent feature. The stone kitchen is both elegant and highly functional, anchored by a substantial walk through pantry that allows direct visual connection to the rear yard and shed, while also welcoming soft morning light into the kitchen space.

This home is truly an entertainer's dream. The kitchen offers a huge walk through pantry and great storage options along with contemporary dark cupboards allowing you to focus on the outside, to the fully adaptable alfresco entertaining area, which can be completely closed off to create a protected outdoor living room in cooler months, or opened wide in summer to blend effortlessly with the deck and surrounding landscape. Featuring an outdoor cooking space and generous proportions, this zone allows year-round entertaining regardless of weather, with the flexibility to host intimate gatherings, family celebrations or large social events while always remaining connected to the views. The western deck spans the full length of the home and steps easily down to the large, level front lawn, further extending the entertaining options and providing a perfect space for children, pets, or relaxed afternoons overlooking the water.

Accommodation is thoughtfully separated and well-appointed. The master suite is positioned to capture the magnificent outlook and features a walk-through semi-open ensuite, with the bath set perfectly to soak in the scenery. Along with 2 double bedrooms which are complemented by an integrated study with built in desk, cupboards and storage, plus a separate living room. A dedicated children's or guest wing allows two bedrooms, main bathroom and the second living to be closed off, offering excellent separation and flexibility for families, visitors, or multigenerational living.

What truly elevates this property beyond the ordinary is its extraordinary shed and infrastructure. The impressive 20m x 16m Coluorbond shed is a serious asset and opens up a world of possibilities. With six roller doors, drive-through access, and substantial clearance, it is ideally suited to motorsport enthusiasts, car collectors, mechanics, builders, tradespeople, or anyone seeking high-quality space for business, hobbies, or serious lifestyle pursuits. There is ample room for buses, trucks, boats, caravans, machinery, workshops and storage, with the scale to accommodate hoists, work bays, or specialised fit-outs. Whether used as a professional workshop, a motorsport or marine base, a construction hub, or an expansive personal garage, this shed delivers a level of versatility that is rarely found in residential lifestyle properties.

The shed is complemented by a large level concrete hardstand at the rear, an under-roof garage adjoining the home, and well-considered tiered retaining wall between the home and shed that creates two highly functional levels while keeping the land practical, accessible and easy to maintain. Multiple water tanks servicing both the home and shed provide excellent water security, requiring only small rainfall events to maintain strong reserves and ensuring reliable supply for household use, gardens or workshop needs.

The property is fully fenced and thoughtfully landscaped to balance usability with natural beauty. The rear section offers a peaceful setting beneath established trees, ideal for a picnic area, children's play space or a shaded retreat. Sandy loam soils, established hedging and carefully selected plantings make the grounds low-maintenance and highly manageable, allowing owners to travel or focus on lifestyle and business pursuits without being burdened by upkeep. Every element has been designed to make ownership easy, flexible and enjoyable.

Completing the offering is an exceptional location, set within easy reach of both Cygnet and Huonville, the property is also moments from the celebrated Glaziers Bay and Wattle Grove wine regions, home to some of Tasmania's most respected cool-climate vineyards including Sailor Seeks Horse, Chatto, Elsewhere and Panorama. This places 44 Porta Drive at the heart of a thriving lifestyle corridor, surrounded by cellar doors, artisan producers, coastal beauty and the wider Huon Valley's renowned food, boating and outdoor culture.

Modern, expansive, and richly versatile, this property stands as a genuinely complete lifestyle property. It offers refined living, breathtaking scenery, elite entertaining spaces, and industrial-scale shed infrastructure, all in one of southern Tasmania's most picturesque and increasingly sought-after regions.
