Cherished and lovingly maintained by the same family since the land was purchased in the 1940s, this truly remarkable Bruny Island property is one of only three dwellings on the sandy half-moon of Jetty Beach at Dennes Point. Nestled into the fringing dune and surrounded by protected land, the house presents perfectly and has been carefully renovated throughout.
Heart of the home is the spacious and comfortable carpeted living/dining area, heated by an efficient pellet fire. From this warm and welcoming space, the superlative views through extensive glazing sweep over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to the hills beyond North West Bay, past Tinderbox just over the water, to the summit of a distant Mt Wellington and across Dennes Point itself to the mouth of the Derwent and Storm Bay.
The house has a bright, white-painted bathroom, a study/home office and three bedrooms, with the master bedroom also featuring impressive views. Exposed Tasmanian myrtle ceiling beams in the main bedroom and living area add a distinctive natural note. The kitchen is sunny and well-appointed, with slate-tiled floor and water views.
There are two outside areas for alfresco dining - a wide deck at the front overlooks the beach and another outdoor setting is located in a sheltered spot at the rear of the house, where there's a concrete pad with space for two cars.
Behind the house is a useful storage shed/workshop and a large rainwater tank at the side. There is a third shed with generous space for storage of garden tools and supplies of art & craft and sporting equipment.
From the front deck, steps curve down to a small deck with bench seat, perched on the dune's edge, immediately above the beach. A few more steps reach a boatshed with an electric winch to make dinghy retrieval very simple. Available if required is a recently-serviced mooring in the bay for a vessel up to 12.5 metres.
The sandy soil supports a range of coastal vegetation that is characteristic of North Bruny, including tussocks of poa grass, banks of flowering correas and spreading carpets of native pigface and edible warrigal greens.
The house is reached via Dennes Point Lane, which provides private access to the only three properties on the beach.
All within an easy walk are the Dennes Point jetty, the village's heritage walking trail, Bruny Island Wild bistro, bruny NORTH art gallery and the long stretch of Nebraska Beach.
This rare and special waterfront property will generate plenty of interest from buyers seeking a premium quality seaside dwelling in a rare and highly sought-after beachfront location.
17 Dennes Point Lane is for sale now or by auction on Sunday 29 November.
