1852 Bruny Island Main Road Great Bay TAS 7150

Some properties offer a beautiful outlook. Others offer a genuine connection to the landscape. Bruny BLACK BOX offers both - with the beach, the bay, and the rhythm of island life becoming part of the way you live.

Architect-designed by two architects for their own private family retreat, Bruny BLACK BOX is an exceptional and beautifully understated beachfront residence positioned beside the protected sands of Great Bay Beach. With the shoreline just metres from the boundary and direct access across the beachfront reserve, this is a rare opportunity to secure a tightly held piece of Bruny Island where your living room genuinely feels connected to the beach. Inspired by the informal rural language of Bruny Island's corrugated metal-clad barns, the striking yet relaxed architecture is intentionally unpretentious. This is a home created for enjoyment, somewhere sandy feet are welcome, the outdoors flows naturally in, and the ever-changing waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel provide a constantly changing backdrop to everyday life.

Built in 2018 by a highly respected local master builder, the home has been exceptionally constructed and thoughtfully over-engineered, achieving an impressive 8-star energy rating. Double glazing, full insulation, quality materials, off-peak heating with wired in low tariff panel heaters and a Pyro Classic wood heater combine to create an exceptionally warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient home, equally suited to permanent living or a relaxed island escape.

Inside, the bright and spacious open-plan living area is warm, contemporary, and wonderfully relaxed. High ceilings, expansive glazing, natural finishes, Tassie Oak solid timber flooring and timber kitchen benchtops create an inviting coastal character, while the generous windows frame the tranquil Great Bay outlook and draw the surrounding landscape into the home. From the living area, glass sliders open directly onto an expansive entertaining deck, perfectly positioned to capture the water views and afternoon sun, and making the most of this extraordinary setting. A high-quality retractable awning provides excellent all-weather protection, allowing this outdoor living space to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Currently configured as a two-bedroom residence with loft storage, the home was intentionally designed with flexibility for the future. The substantial 1,429m² parcel provides excellent scope to expand the existing residence, either upward or outward, or potentially introduce an additional cabin or wing, subject to approval.

And then there is the setting…the property feels like a private ecological sanctuary. Its large backyard, established native gardens, and unique Great Bay microclimate create a haven for birdlife and wildlife, with sightings including sea eagles, black cockatoos, swans, dolphins and seals, to name just a few. Here, a simple walk along the shoreline can become part of your daily routine - calming, restorative, and wonderfully connected to nature.
