49 Cliffords Road, Gordon, Tas 7150

There is something wonderfully uncomplicated about life at 49 Cliffords Road.

Set above the water in Gordon, this architecturally considered home proves that living smaller does not mean giving up the things that matter. Instead, it is about making room for more of them — more landscape, more connection to nature, more time outdoors and more opportunity to simply enjoy where you live.

Designed uniquely for the current owners and built by Pod Matrix in 2022, and occupying just 68sqm, the 2 bedrooms home sits within approximately 5868sqm of land, offering a clever balance between compact living and genuine breathing room. 

Inside, the design is warm, tactile and beautifully resolved.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, with expansive double glazing bringing the surrounding landscape and water views directly into the interior. The kitchen has been designed to feel streamlined, with clean cabinetry, generous preparation space and a restrained palette that sits comfortably alongside the timber finishes and natural textures found throughout the home.

Rather than competing for attention, each material works together — timber, dark finishes, glass and subtle industrial elements creating a space that feels contemporary, grounded and distinctly Tasmanian.

The bathroom follows the same philosophy. Thoughtfully finished and deliberately simple, it combines strong textures with a clean, modern aesthetic, creating a space that feels both practical and quietly luxurious. It is another example of how this home makes every square metre work hard without ever feeling compromised.

The two bedrooms continue the sense of calm, while the second bedroom adds flexibility through a cleverly integrated Murphy bed, allowing the space to move easily between guest accommodation, home office or an additional living zone.

And then there is the view.

From its elevated position, the home looks across the surrounding landscape and water, with large areas of glass drawing that outlook directly into the living spaces. Step outside onto the deck for a morning coffee, watch the changing light move across the Channel, or wander down towards the foreshore and spend an afternoon by the water. It is a home that constantly reminds you where you are.

The north-facing land provides breathing room without demanding the scale of a traditional rural holding. With existing fruit trees & vegetable garden beds, you can potter around the garden or simply sit, relax & enjoy the privacy and outlook. Two water tanks adds another practical element to a property where smaller-scale, more considered living feels completely at home.

Sitting at the entrance to the property is a large double shed/garage (fully powered) with sky lights and beautiful water views.  Whether you're looking store the boat, turn a pottery wheel or simply charge your EV with the charging station, this 38sqm shed certainly adds to the overall property allure. 

Life in this part of the Channel has its own rhythm. Days can start on the water, continue with a drive through the surrounding farmland and coastline, and end back on the deck as the light changes across the hills. Nearby Middleton General Store makes rural living remarkably convenient, offering groceries, fuel, post office services and everyday essentials in one stop.

For those looking beyond a permanent home, the property's architecture, water views and sense of escape also lend themselves naturally to boutique short-stay accommodation (STCA). With proven winter demand and the Channel attracting more visitors for weekends, weddings and local experiences, it offers flexibility as a full-time home, private retreat or potential income-producing escape.

49 Cliffords Road offers something increasingly difficult to find: a beautifully designed home that asks for less, while giving you considerably more.

More landscape. More water. More freedom.
And a very different way to live.
