Territory History

10 Sunset Place is the former home of former NT Territorian of the Year, Dr Philip Nitschke.
As Dr Nitschke now lives in The Netherlands he is sadly selling his home of the past 30 years.
Philip says this is the place where history was made. It was his office, his medical practice and his workshop. It was the headquarter’s for the implementation of the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act between 1996-1997.
He developed the Deliverance Machine -This machine is now in the British Science Museum in London.

Offering a totally unique design and outdoor living lifestyle.
Custom made tropical architecture, makes this a stand-out property in Darwin's rural area.

The property has dual frontages and two dwellings.

The main dwelling is an elevated design with indoor-outdoor house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas and features an outdoor entertainer's stainless steel kitchen.

The house adjoins a large, 180 sq mtr shed, making a perfect mix.

This unique home has been constructed of rare hardwood timbers (recycled teak, iron and coconut woods) and slate imported direct from Java.

The house is entered via its recycled teak staircase which passes a luscious plunge pool shaded under shade sails, bringing the visitor to outdoor entertainer’s kitchen. Set over a 28 sq meter deck the kitchen features a ceramic cooktop, electric oven, drawer dishwasher, microwave and extensive drawers and shelving. A large dining area features a BBQ nook about both dining and lounge seating. The entirety of the outdoor deck is double-insulated ensuring there is no radiant heat and is cooled by stainless steel ceiling fans
Intricately, hand-carved Javanese wood doors lead to a second outdoor lounge which is fully-screened and is furnished with matching Bali day beds. The master bedroom is located in this semi-enclosed section of the deck and features an outdoor, tropical ensuite of shower, toilet and wash basin.
Ironwood French doors lead into the fully air-conditioned living and dining area which features slate tile flooring. In this space there are two further bedrooms, each with built-in robes and a luxury, resort-style bathroom with mosaic tiles.

In addition to the main home, there is a 180 sq metre shed with large sliding doors to allow for maximum breeze-flow. Contained within the shed are two air-conditioned offices, various workshop areas, kitchen space plus a third bathroom and laundry space.
There is an option to turn this into more living space if you so choose.

At the other end of the property is a second residence featuring a fully-renovated demountable of 2 bedrooms, two bathrooms (one indoor one outdoor) and a full-length covered deck with ceiling fans and dual carport.

The open plan living/ kitchen area of this fully air-conditioned home, allows for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Surrounded by native bush, there is a small, fully-fenced garden and an extra sea container for all your storage needs. Note – there is no line of sight or sound between the two residences and with separate driveway entrances, this set-up is ideal for the growing family, Airbnb or short/ long-term tenants.

The owners hope the house will become a home for someone new who is passionate about the Territory. Wrapped in a native bushland belt, this secluded abode is nothing like you have ever seen before.
