Freshly-painted throughout, with new carpets and curtains, this charming country cottage would be ideal as a Stayz or Airbnb holiday rental - you'd start making an income right away. Bookings would be solid all the way through the summer - and with Bruny Island tourism growing strongly, even the winter months are showing good occupancy.
Or maybe you're looking for your own holiday weekender on the island? This is the perfect place - a quiet location, good beaches and fishing close by, with nothing to do but move in and enjoy.
The view from the front looks over the garden and through trees to the sheltered waters of Daniels Bay at Lunawanna on South Bruny Island.
Located high on a large block, well away from the road, the house has a north-westerly aspect, making the most of the sunshine, which pours in through the floor-level sliding glass doors in all the front-facing rooms.
Clad in painted exterior hardboard siding, the house has been freshly-decorated throughout, with brand-new carpets in bedrooms and living area, and new vinyl flooring in the kitchen.
The main bedroom has large built-in robes with mirrored doors. The bathroom, with Tastic light/heater, is fresh and bright, with adjoining separate lavatory. Next to this is the laundry, with plenty of storage cupboards. The kitchen is light and airy, with good cupboards and a practical bench space. A wood heater in the living area provides warmth for the whole house.
There's a sunny covered porch at the front, a small deck off the second bedroom and a partly-covered porch at the back of the house, sheltered by clear roof and rear wall of alcynite sheeting.
A special feature is the delightful view from the kitchen, past mature trees to the adjacent farmland - the feeling is of being deep in rural countryside from this side of the house; then when you turn and take in the view through the front windows, you're unmistakably close to the coastal waterways of Bruny Island.
The block is large, with lawns, attractive gardens, a circular driveway and mature eucalypts. There's a large poultry yard and two useful garden sheds. A large rainwater storage tank and pressure system supplies the house. The hot water cylinder is new.
Birdlife here is abundant, with green rosellas, honeyeaters, robins, pardalotes, swift parrots and black cockatoos attracted to the native vegetation in the garden and trees.
Lunawanna's boat ramp and beaches are all close by and it's a short drive to Alonnah, with its school, hotel, shop, chemist and medical centre.
The property is priced to sell and would be perfect as a seaside weekender, a comfortable island home or as short-term accommodation, to tap into Bruny Island's growing number of visitors. There's absolutely nothing to do but move in and start enjoying your seaside lifestyle.
