At the water's edge, where the Derwent meets the land, home begins.
Launch your kayak from the shore, or wander back through the beautifully landscaped gardens, where roses grow alongside berries, fruit trees and vegetables. Deciduous trees provide summer shade and winter sunlight. Splashes of colour reveal themselves at every turn, until the grounds give way to a striking, thoughtfully designed residence. Lovingly built to an exceptional standard and meticulously maintained, the care invested in its creation is evident throughout. A covered timber entertaining deck invites long lunches and peaceful moments taking in the scene beyond, before beautiful French doors lead you inside. Large bay windows, framed in premium cedar, draw the light deep into generous open-plan living and dining areas, while Tasmanian oak timber and quality tile flooring bring warmth and practicality underfoot. Spacious proportions and timeless finishes give the interiors room to breathe. On cooler days, the wood fire becomes the heartbeat of the home, a place to settle in while the world beyond the windows continues to change. With reverse-cycle heating and extra insulation, year-round comfort meets absolute luxury. The kitchen is made for both everyday life and gathering, with quality European appliances, gas cooking, an extra-wide oven, generous breakfast bar, large walk-in pantry, soft-close drawers and a built-in water filter. It works just as easily for a quiet morning coffee as it does for a table full of family and friends.
Upstairs, the landscape finds you again. The principal suite turns towards the water, with panoramic views creating a private retreat alongside an oversized ensuite and walk-in robe. Four generously sized bedrooms provide room for family and guests, while a substantial study offers the flexibility of working from home, a parent's retreat or an optional fifth bedroom. Built-in cupboards, two sealed lofts and the area beneath the stairs provide clever storage throughout, while flexible spaces allow the layout to change as life does.
The same diligence continues in the practical features. Two full bathrooms are complemented by a third shower and toilet, ideal for guests. A 3.5-kilowatt, 14-panel solar array and a large-capacity air-sourced hot water system quietly work behind the scenes. A rainwater bladder and irrigation system help care for the established gardens throughout the seasons.
A double-car garage with remote-controlled door and internal access adds convenience, while full fencing and an electric, remote-controlled wrought-iron gate offer privacy and security. Public transport, schools and supermarkets are close by, while the Brooker Highway keeps Hobart within easy reach.
Rarest of all is the title itself. The property is one of very few in the neighbourhood whose title extends right to the high-water mark. No Crown land reserve sits between the home and the river. Nothing interrupts the view. It is true absolute waterfront living.
Set within one of the area's most sought-after pockets, this is an opportunity to create a dream home or explore the potential of a premium short-stay accommodation venture, close to world-class attractions including MONA and nearby vineyards. It is a slice of Tasmanian paradise, where life feels removed from the city without ever being far from it.
