This stylish and contemporary 2011 beach house has a lovely bushland setting, just a few steps from a sheltered sandy cove and the sandstone D'Entrecasteaux Channel shoreline at Killora, on North Bruny.
The domed roofline creates expansive interior space for such a compact building - and the fully-glazed arched front brings the outstanding views of water and mountains into the spacious living/kitchen/dining area, with sofa and easy chairs. A glass door opens out to a full-width sunny timber deck, with an outdoor setting. The deck wraps around to an accessible entrance ramp on the side.
Inside, blonde hoop-pine ply lining makes a clean, modern finish - the timber theme continues with warm-coloured bamboo flooring. The L-shaped galley kitchen is neat and practical, with electric cooktop, electric oven and stainless steel range hood.
Electric heating warms the rooms, but with double-glazing throughout and insulated walls, the house is very energy-efficient.
There are two bedrooms, a queen and a twin, both with attractive views through arched windows. The compact fully-tiled bathroom is light and bright, with sink, walk-in shower and toilet. There is a large screened-off storage area under the house, with space for kayaks and beach gear. Rainwater storage and a pressure system are also hidden away in this space.
Killora is a quiet and secluded part of North Bruny, although it's only 15 minutes or so from the Roberts Point ferry terminal, and five minutes from the Dennes Point village precinct, with its bistro, provedore and gallery.
'Three Trees Retreat' has been operated very successfully as short-term visitor accommodation, and since the property is sold as walk-in, walk-out, a new owner could continue this enterprise, making the most of Bruny Island's tourism boom - or perhaps you'd prefer to enjoy it as a comfortable, modern and stylish weekender, easy to get to on a Friday afternoon.
Priced very realistically, this is an outstanding opportunity to secure a quality Bruny Island property in a delightfully undisturbed location.
