Set across 3.298 hectares of flat, north-facing land, 44 Hardens Lane is a property that combines scale, privacy and future potential with a highly considered approach to sustainable living. Positioned in a sheltered setting within easy reach of the city, it offers a rare balance of lifestyle, flexibility and long-term value, including subdivision opportunity.
Sustainability and efficiency are central to how this property operates. A 26-panel solar power system is paired with a Tesla charger, and a Tesla Powerwall battery which significantly reduces the home's running costs. In a rare and highly considered addition, the relocating vendors have included two Tesla 3’s in the sale - supporting a lifestyle largely insulated from rising fuel costs and global energy shocks. Water is equally well managed, with roof capture and bore supply feeding two 22,500L inground concrete tanks, alongside a new pump, filtration, and UV systems.
Inside, the home is generous and well-considered. Two large reception rooms provide flexibility for family life and entertaining, one centred around a fireplace that brings warmth and a natural gathering point. The kitchen is modern and functional, positioned to take in views across the established, park-like grounds.
Accommodation is well balanced, with six bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. Three open directly onto a private, walled courtyard and pool area, creating a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living. The master suite is set apart, with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, offering a sense of calm and privacy.
At one end of the property, a fully self-contained granny flat provides additional flexibility. With its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, bathroom and study, it works equally well for extended family, guests, or as a potential income stream. It also enjoys sweeping views across the lawn to the pond below.
Outdoors, the property is designed to be used and enjoyed. The swimming pool and Hot Springs spa, complete with an outdoor bathroom, sit alongside a tennis court, pétanque area, and a series of ponds that add character to the landscape. The grounds are maintained by two Mowbots, keeping the lawns consistently tidy with minimal effort, or alternatively, the lawn areas could be readily converted into two grazing paddocks.
For those with equestrian or lifestyle interests, the property includes two stables and a recently renovated barn with a new roof and app-controlled industrial roller doors. The barn is serviced by its own additional water tank, enhancing its practicality for livestock or broader use.
The gardens have been thoughtfully designed by Xanthe White, with over 2,000 native and exotic plantings creating a mature, layered landscape that evolves through the seasons.
Located within close proximity to Albany and within commuting distance of the Harbour Bridge, the property also sits near a number of well-regarded public and private schools.
This is a home that brings together scale, flexibility, and future potential, underpinned by a unique and considered approach to sustainability and ease of living. Don't let the chance to call this stunning property your own pass you by, call Nicky on 021 745 667!
