There is something special about a property where the water becomes part of everyday life.
Set in the heart of Gordon and occupying a unique position where the coastline wraps around the property, 4804 Channel Highway captures beautiful water views from multiple sides of the home and offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find.
Over the years, this piece of land has played its part in the life of the Gordon community. It was once home to the old Gordon Post Office and a tennis court, a place where people gathered, connected and went about everyday life.
Today, it offers a different kind of gathering place. A generous and wonderfully flexible home, surrounded by established gardens, with the waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel wrapping around it and views from three sides of the house.
Just across the road, the beach and your boat are within easy reach, with a mooring already in place. Whether it's heading out for a morning fish, taking the boat across the Channel or simply sitting in the garden watching the light change over the water, the setting invites you to slow down and enjoy where you are.
Back at home, there are gardens to wander through, vegetables to grow, chickens to keep and plenty of places to simply sit and watch the water.
The generous floor plan gives you the freedom to create the life that works for you. Use it as a large family home with room for everyone to spread out, create separate spaces for multi-generational living or visiting family and friends, or explore the potential for guest or short-stay accommodation.
If you don't need separate living, then the additional rooms simply become yours. A studio, home office, art room, music room, library or space to finally pursue the hobbies you've never quite had the room for.
Outside, the property has already been set up for a life that makes the most of the land. An impressive enclosed hothouse allows you to garden throughout the seasons, chicken coops are ready to go, and established ornamental gardens create beautiful pockets to sit and enjoy the outlook across the Channel.
Then there's the shed and workshop, substantial enough to accommodate vehicles, a boat or caravan, with room left over for tools, equipment and weekend projects.
And while there's a wonderful sense of space here, you're not disappearing from the world.
Gordon is a small and welcoming Channel community where the water, the landscape and the people around you become part of everyday life. Hobart is approximately an hour away, making this an appealing proposition for those dreaming of a Tasmanian sea change without wanting to feel completely removed from the city.
Perhaps that's what makes Gordon Point so special.
For generations, this has been a place connected to its community and to the water surrounding it. The buildings and the way the land is used may have changed, but that connection remains.
Now, 4804 Channel Highway is ready for its next chapter and for someone new to make this remarkable little piece of Gordon their own.
