Overview

The simple life

Looking for an affordable bolt hole on the East Coast? This well kept timber cabin on large land at Orford with ocean views and a lockup colorbond workshop will make a profitable holiday rental with storage space for a boat or caravan - while you either develop a long term plan for the staged development of your dream home in years to come, or just keep it simple! With all day sun from a NE aspect, 40 Charles St is within walking distance of Orford shopping, newsagent and café's and wonderful beach walks along West and East Shelly beaches to Spring beach and the rolling surf. The house proud vendors have enjoyed the simplicity of this location, storing a boat and or caravan during Summer months before heading interstate for Winter travels. Shrubbery has been established for privacy and a small amenities block behind the cabin provides both storage, a laundry plus second shower and toilet for those occasions when family friends stay over to enjoy some East Coast time out. Generous timber decks front and rear provide level access and elevated vantage points to take in the views across sparkling Prosser Bay and a paved courtyard with fire pit behind the cabin is a peaceful retreat when the days activities are done and yarns mix with cold drinks and tall stories of crayfish catches or amazing golf drives. The cabin was constructed to be relocatable – the future may take the form of holiday rental income plus workshop storage rental to hold the property, or eventually selling the cabin to construct a larger retirement or family holiday home on the land. The acquisition cost for 40 Charles St and workshop in 2023 will seem like an absolute bargain as a stepping stone to grander plans as they become affordable. Meanwhile 40 Charles Street has been tastefully furnished, offers a modern kitchen and ensuite and decor blending seamlessly with the cosy ambience of natural timbers and a leafy garden setting. The Orford/Spring Beach precinct is popular with cyclists and well equipped with community support infrastructure including medical services, a pharmacy, library, very active golf, bowls and boating clubs – all this just one hour by car from the city of Hobart. And did I mention the fishing? What are you waiting for!
