CLOSURE OF OFFERS MONDAY 6TH FEBRUARY 5PM

On popular Bruny Island, off the southeast coast of Tasmania, is a protected inlet at picturesque Barnes Bay and in this magical place a unique acreage enjoys close to 150metres of dreamy absolute waterfront!

This 1.012ha sanctuary, with its own beach and mooring, has private entry via a right-of-way and a charming, fully renovated 1900's cottage surprises all who visit.

'Questa' cottage is a historic 'gem' and has been restored and updated to modern standards, in keeping with its nostalgic original character. This is the perfect home or getaway for a family or a group of friends.

This comfortable two-bedroom home has an open plan living/dining with large quality double-glazed doors that bring the outside in and extend entertaining areas to a generous cleverly crafted deck. The Tasmanian Oak decking wraps the cottage perfectly to appreciate the natural surroundings and constant changing moods across the water.

A feeling of relaxation resonates throughout the cottage and gardens, whether soaking up the views from the bath or feeling as if your bed is over the water while enjoying the sunsets. The care and love in the restoration and extension work is apparent in the warmth and comfort experienced while in the home. This treasure is a work of wonderful old-world charm with thoughtful design and enjoys all modern conveniences.

A skylight floods the kitchen with natural light, and this bright centre includes quality appliances with a Siemens induction cooktop and Smeg electric oven, there is a two-drawer dishwasher, built in microwave and smart concealed Electrolux washing machine. This happy engine room extends to a glorious sunroom and on further to a lovely potting room.

The original part of the cottage has two classic fireplaces with mantlepieces and wonderful 3.2metre high ceilings. The ceiling in the master bedroom boasts original pressed metal and throughout the home is Tasmanian Oak flooring that consistently flows onto the decking.

A considered combination of double glazing, full insulation, and reverse cycle air-conditioning together with the ambience of a large and efficient wood-fire heater keep all within cosy throughout the cooler seasons.

Satellite Wi-Fi provides excellent internet reception and a 3.8kw solar system consisting of twelve solar panels has a 5kw inverter with a 9.8kw battery.

Remarkably, the homes complimentary and stylish décor can be included in the sale of the property, subject to negotiation.

Offering an amazing lifestyle, this acreage has two attractive dams and the possibility for subdivision (STCA). There is ample rain-water storage with four water tanks, two of which are newly installed.

A cosy caravan with covered deck and separate storage room is ideal guest accommodation.

A large, enclosed garden yields impressive produce and there is a massive 14.5m x 11m machinery shed providing undercover parking. Additionally, there is the convenience of a 7m x 5.5m utility shed with power plus a separate shipping container.

A once fine jetty is now a disused historic remnant that could possibly be restored, subject to approvals, and would be ideal for yachties and boat enthusiasts.

As well as being an idyllic place to call home, the diverse range of natural landscapes on Bruny Island, including rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, eucalyptus forests, and wetlands draw many thousands of tourists and it's a popular holidaying destination. It is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including many species of birds, seals, and penguins. The option for visitor accommodation would also be worth considering.

The property's serene location is ideally ten minutes from the welcoming seaside village of Dennes Point and less than a ten-minute drive to the ferry terminal at Roberts Point.

An efficient ferry service runs every twenty minutes and Hobart is only a further 30minutes away, making this property just an hour from the city's centre.

Without doubt, this property allows you to create your own personal adventures on sheltered waterways straight from your own backyard and share in the many natural wonders of spectacular Bruny Island!
