Just 3 kilometres North of Bicheno, 23 Rosedale Road offers 'Home, Heart and Lifestyle' set among native bush lands on the cusp of the Douglas Apsley National Park. Overlooking the coast from an elevated 5 acre title – the property enjoys total privacy and the most magnificent sweeping ocean views over unspoilt Denison Beach to the settlement of Seymour in the distance, some 17 kilometers to the North East.
What an inspired choice this location was when the 3 bedroom cedar home was constructed in 1991. The well presented residence features open plan living for the spacious kitchen, dining and lounge areas with cathedral ceilings downstairs and an open fire, includes a bathroom with separate toilet and laundry, while upstairs is a mezzanine with 3 bedrooms.
Making the most of the site, all north facing windows frame amazing views at every angle with the 'piece de resistance' a large deck at the front of house, from which the panoramas of ocean and coastal ranges are a joy to behold. While at the back of house a 2 car carport provides weather protection for 2 vehicles and access to the back door.
There is more! An additional free standing western red cedar building presently used as a studio, plus storage and wood carving workshop is located a few meters from the main house and another short walk away and private from the house – are 2 registered holiday rental cottages, both self contained, each with a small balcony, level access car parking and an equal share of the wonderful views already described.
'Sea and Sky' should probably be 'Sea, Sky and Garden' as the final attribute at 23 Rosedale Rd is a very significant caged fruit and vegetable garden feeding water from a bore on the property and boasting fruit trees, berry fruit and a range of organically grown vegetables year round to sustain your family – protected from the native wildlife with a stainless wire infused netting enclosure established by the skilled vendors after purchase of the property in 2015.
Centrally located, the Bicheno township welcomes visitor traffic from both the north and south of the state and with around 1,000 permanent residents is well equipped with local facilities to support the flow of East Coast tourism now exceeding 300,000 visitors per year. A large number of whom use Bicheno as a hub for their Tasmanian travels returning to overnight for up to week long stays.
Highlights of the Bicheno precinct include a mild climate, some of the best underwater diving in Tasmania as well as pristine surf beaches, local penguin rookeries, migrating whales off shore in season and excellent local boating infrastructure.
The lush Bicheno Golf Course is visible in the photos looking up the coast from 23 Rosedale Road and for those who enjoy hiking - the unspoilt natural values of Denison Beach and the Douglas Apsley National Park are both at your doorstep. As are a range of 13 speciality cool climate vineyards located down the coast along with plentiful fresh local seafood in season from the famous Bicheno Gulch traders.
