Offering sparkling waterfront views across Mercury Passage to the shores Maria Island beyond, 58 Bernacchi Drive at Orford comes to the market as 1 acre of landscaped privacy with a secluded beach house and unique architectural features.
Designed by respected architect Maria Gigney, landscaped native gardens slope to the house site overlooking a coastal reserve of remnant native forest, at waters edge.
58 Bernacchi Drive is a celebration of coastal living, timber clad with natural materials and neutral décor, bi-fold doors opening both sides of the living areas of the residence onto timber decks and a covered 'breeze way' addition by the current owners behind the house - has added additional protected entertaining area away from afternoon sea breezes.
Floor to ceiling internal sliding doors add to the spatial effect of the large living areas as do 2. 7m ceilings. The parents retreat includes an elegant freestanding bathtub with stylish vanity, walk though double shower and offers amazing views down the Mercury Passage catching every sunrise from the perfectly positioned master bedroom.
A laundry is incorporated at this end of the home along a discreet passage way, boasting built in wardrobes and ample storage capacity.
Guests and family enjoy two more bedrooms at the other end of the building with their own bathroom and separate toilet and yet more wonderful garden and water views. The thermal mass of a concrete encased open fire adds cosy ambience, whereas electric ceiling heating quickly heats the home on entry, until the wood fire takes over.
A 6 x 6M 2 car lockup garage and workshop is positioned between the residence and Bernacchi Drive and a solar powered electric gate adds security when absent from the property or simply dialing in undisturbed time out, with nothing but the sounds of the sea on the shores below to disturb you.
A boatshed studio located in the grounds is a creative space for reflection, writing or painting perhaps, or just a peaceful hide to watch the next sea eagle drift by on a quest for a tasty morsel.
1 hour by road to the bustling city of Hobart this peaceful Orford alternative offers the contrast of nature trails, a selection of local beaches and amazing native birdlife at this discreet location just 45 minutes from Hobart airport so close, yet a life time away from your busy world.
