Set within one of Sandy Bay's most tightly held and sought-after pockets, this remarkable 2,977 sqm landholding presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to create something truly special. Whether reimagined as a private suburban estate, thoughtfully renovated and extended, or explored for future development potential (STCA), the scale, position and privacy of this property offer an extraordinary range of possibilities.
Cherished by four generations of the same family for more than 60 years, this is a property with an irreplaceable sense of history and place. Behind its gated entrance, the expansive grounds create a remarkable private sanctuary, while the substantial landholding provides a canvas rarely found so close to the heart of Hobart.
The largely original yet comfortable home retains the warmth and character of its era, with a solid late-1950s construction and an abundance of natural light. Large windows draw sunshine into the spacious living room, where a fireplace creates a welcoming focal point, while the adjoining dining area connects easily with the kitchen.
Three generous bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including one with extensive built-in wardrobes and another opening directly to a sun-drenched deck overlooking the magnificent grounds. A central bathroom includes a bath and shower, complemented by a separate toilet, while the laundry provides convenient direct outdoor access. NBN is connected to the home, with plentiful storage including beneath the house.
However, it is the land that truly sets this property apart.
Spanning approximately three-quarters of an acre, the grounds are an extraordinary combination of scale, privacy and established beauty. Carefully nurtured across generations, the garden is framed by mature trees and lush greenery, creating a park-like setting of remarkable tranquillity. Backing onto the Sandy Bay Rivulet, the property enjoys a peaceful natural outlook accompanied by birdsong and an unmistakable sense of seclusion.
For those seeking to create their own vision, the sheer scale of the land presents an exciting opportunity rarely available in such a tightly held location. The existing residence could be renovated and extended, while the substantial landholding invites consideration of future development possibilities (STCA), subject to all necessary approvals.
The setting is equally compelling. Despite its secluded, end-of-cul-de-sac position and exceptional privacy, this hidden sanctuary is within easy walking distance of Sandy Bay's vibrant shops, beaches and foreshore, prestigious schools, UTAS and Hobart's CBD.
A gated driveway provides secure access and substantial off-street parking for multiple vehicles, adding further practicality to this extraordinary offering.
A property of this scale, privacy and position is exceptionally difficult to replicate. With a cherished family history, magnificent established grounds and genuine potential for renovation, extension or future development (STCA), this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure an extraordinary piece of Sandy Bay.
