A private sanctuary with sweeping views over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to Bruny Island, the white sandy beaches of the isthmus in clear sight. The home sits well in the landscape and was designed to captures light and ocean views from every room. Imbued with a French influence, the house has a sense of space and timeless style. The understated elegance is enhanced by the exceptional, creatively designed garden providing seasonal change and interest.
