Overview

Absolute waterfront living - A rare riverside retreat

Some properties are special. Others are simply unforgettable. Set across an expansive 4,809sqm parcel with a boundary extending to the high water mark, this extraordinary absolute waterfront residence offers a lifestyle that is rarely found and even more rarely available. With the water so close you can almost reach out and touch it, the connection to the river is immediate and ever-changing. Watch boats drift by, spot seals and dolphins in the river, enjoy spectacular sunsets and take in wide-ranging views across kunanyi/Mount Wellington, Claremont Golf Course and the surrounding mountain ranges. Direct river access, a boat launch area and riverside fire pit create an enviable setting for relaxed weekends and long summer evenings. Built in 1981 and extensively renovated into a beautiful contemporary home, the residence combines considered modern living with an exceptional natural setting. Tasmanian Oak floorboards flow through the open-plan living areas, while expansive sliding doors open directly to the deck, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen is beautifully appointed with quality appliances, including an integrated refrigerator and freezer and dishwasher. Double glazing throughout adds year-round comfort, while the thoughtful floorplan positions the three bedrooms in separate areas of the home, creating privacy and harmonious family living. Each bedroom enjoys convenient access to its own bathroom. The master suite is a private retreat in its own wing, complete with a generous walk-in dressing room and sliding doors opening to the deck. The ensuite is a standout, with captivating water views, a walk-in shower and a sumptuous sunken bath that may well become your favourite place to unwind at the end of the week - perhaps with a glass of wine in hand. Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds are designed for both enjoyment and productivity. Extensive organic vegetable gardens are established in raised beds with adjustable timer-controlled irrigation, while the organic orchard includes apples, apricots, nectarine, avocado, lemon, lime, olives and cherry trees. A fenced vegetable garden, chicken shed and enclosed chicken run with a light-sensitive automatic coop door add to the property's self-sufficient appeal. For those who love life on the water, the ramp leads towards the boat launch area, while the riverside fire pit provides the perfect place to gather beneath the stars. The surrounding gardens are alive with an abundance of native birdlife, adding another layer to this remarkable connection with nature. Practicality has not been overlooked, with a double garage offering internal access, additional downstairs storage rooms with potential for cellar use, and 6kW rooftop solar helping to enhance the home's efficiency. This is more than a home; it is a lifestyle sanctuary where the river forms part of your everyday outlook, the gardens provide an abundance of fresh produce, and the changing landscape delivers a new view every day. Properties offering this combination of absolute waterfront, land, privacy, direct river access and an extensively renovated contemporary home do not come along every day. Nothing to do here except unpack, settle in and start living your best life.
