There are places you visit, and then there are places that make you exhale the moment you arrive.
Just metres from the pristine sands of Pirates Bay, this beautifully positioned two-bedroom retreat captures something particularly special about the Tasman Peninsula – the rare combination of coast, countryside and complete escape. From the house and its generous wraparound deck, the outlook stretches across neighbouring farmland towards rolling, tree-lined hills, while the ocean is quite literally only steps away.
A small trail directly opposite leads down to the beach, while a public jetty just a few hundred metres away makes it wonderfully easy to launch into the coastal lifestyle. Swim before breakfast, head out boating or diving, explore one of the many spectacular nearby bushwalks, or simply wander down to the sand and see what the day brings.
And when the sun goes down, stay outside. With little to compete with the darkness, clear nights here reveal an extraordinary canopy of stars. The deck becomes the perfect place for a glass of wine, a quiet conversation and the sort of night sky that city living simply cannot deliver.
Elevated on sturdy steel posts, the home itself is warm, relaxed and deliberately easy-care. Timber-lined interiors create a natural connection with the landscape, while expansive windows bring in abundant light and frame the surrounding farmland, hills and ever-changing Tasmanian skies.
The open-plan kitchen and living area forms the heart of the home, with a timber benchtop, gas cooktop, stainless-steel sink and generous storage. A freestanding wood fire creates beautiful warmth through the cooler months, complemented by reverse-cycle air conditioning for year-round comfort. The stylish bathroom incorporates the laundry, while remote-controlled window furnishings add another layer of convenience.
Outside, the wraparound deck provides plenty of room to follow the sun, find a sheltered corner or simply sit and drink in the outlook. Two large water tanks provide water storage, an Envirocycle system manages wastewater, and secure boundary fencing, security cameras and an electric sliding entrance gate with keypad and remote access provide peace of mind whether you are in residence or away.
The setting is wonderfully alive with nature. Neighbouring farmland adds to the sense of space and rural tranquillity, with cows and deer forming part of the outlook and bandicoots and wombats among the occasional visitors. Down towards the coast, fairy penguins are known to nest amongst the dunes.
The property has been enjoyed as both a much-loved private holiday home and, when the owners have been unable to escape here themselves, as Airbnb accommodation (figures available) – providing an appealing option for buyers who may wish to combine their own use with short-stay accommodation.
For those wanting to step away from the noise and pace of everyday life, this is an exceptionally easy place to do it. Beach at the doorstep. Farmland and hills beyond. Bushwalks, swimming, diving and boating within easy reach. Long afternoons on the deck and spectacular stars overhead.
A wonderfully uncomplicated coastal retreat in one of Tasmania's most remarkable natural playgrounds.
