Mountain Top Snug, House Itas

A serene, Japanese-inspired sanctuary immersed in Tasmania’s breathtaking countryside.

Set high on a private hilltop in Snug, this one-of-a-kind modern home blends minimalist design with sweeping natural beauty. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames rugged coastal vistas, while a tranquil internal courtyard anchors the entire space in calm.

Living & Dining
The light-soaked living area invites slow mornings and quiet evenings—sink into designer sofas and watch the landscape shift with the weather. The gourmet open-plan kitchen, with its generous island and private pantry, is made for cooking local produce. Step outside to the courtyard to dine in complete serenity, or gather around the outdoor fire pit as the stars emerge.

Sleep & Bath
Both bedrooms echo refined Japanese aesthetics. The master features a plush king bed and a breathtaking ensuite—complete with a glass-framed sunken bath offering uninterrupted ocean views. The second bedroom, with its raised platform and memory-foam tatami mats, brings an elegant, transportive touch of the East.

Location
Snug is a haven of tranquillity—home to peaceful beaches, year-round waterfalls, coastal hikes, and effortless day trips to Bruny Island. Explore Snug Beach’s calm waters, perfect for kayaking and sunset strolls. And when you’re ready for a change of pace, Hobart is only 30 minutes away with its produce-driven dining, artisan coffee culture, iconic distilleries, Mona, and vibrant festivals.

A restorative, design-forward escape—crafted for those seeking beauty, peace, and connection to nature.
