There's a rare kind of luxury in living this close to the water - where the coastline isn't simply a view, but part of everyday life.
Occupying an extraordinary 1.74-hectare waterfront holding in Orford, 15 Manning Drive delivers an increasingly rare combination of space, privacy and connection to the coast. Surrounded by established native landscape and positioned to capture beautiful views across the water, this is a home that feels wonderfully removed from the world while remaining within easy reach of everything that makes Tasmania's East Coast so desirable.
The approximately 108m² residence has been designed around relaxed coastal living, with a light-filled interior comprising three bedrooms, one bathroom and comfortable open-plan living. Large windows draw the surrounding landscape into the home, creating an ever-changing backdrop of water, sky and native bushland.
But it is outside where this property truly comes into its own. An impressive covered entertaining deck substantially extends the living space and creates a beautiful setting for long lunches, summer evenings and entertaining family and friends. With multiple areas to sit, dine and unwind, it is easy to imagine champagne at sunset, weekend barbecues or simply enjoying the stillness of the surrounding landscape.
Beyond the home, the sheer scale of the land is remarkable. 17,420m² of private Rural Living-zoned land provides an exceptional sense of separation and tranquillity, while the property's position adjoining the coastal reserve places the shoreline right at your doorstep.
Adding another dimension to the lifestyle is access to Orford's spectacular coastal walking track, allowing you to set out from near the property and follow the coastline towards either Spring Beach or Shelly Beach. The track winds through native bushland and along the clifftops, opening to beautiful views across Prosser Bay towards Maria Island, with beaches and the historic sandstone quarry along the way. Shelly Beach is approximately a 20-minute walk, while continuing in the opposite direction takes you towards the white sands and turquoise waters of Spring Beach - making some of the area's most beautiful coastline part of your everyday surroundings.
