46 Blyth Parade Great Bay TAS 7150

Positioned in beautiful natural surroundings and in one of Bruny Island's most desirable locations, just moments from the sparkling waters of Great Bay, this thoughtfully designed and lovingly built retreat offers a rare opportunity to embrace a simpler, more sustainable way of life without compromising on comfort.

Constructed in 2014 and purpose-built around the principles of passive solar design, the two-bedroom home achieves an energy rating exceeding 6 stars through intelligent orientation, construction materials and environmental design. Every aspect has been carefully considered to maximise year-round comfort while minimising energy consumption and environmental impact. Capturing all-day northern sunshine, the home stores warmth during the cooler months through thermal mass construction, while double glazing, strategic shading, natural ventilation and insulation work together to keep interiors comfortable throughout summer. The result is a home that works in harmony with its environment, significantly reducing both energy use and carbon footprint.

Inside, the light-filled open-plan living area enjoys a relaxed coastal atmosphere, complete with a built-in stereo system and seamless access to an impressive wrap-around deck. Here, a generous undercover entertaining area provides the perfect setting to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, channel views and spectacular sunsets that make this part of Bruny Island so highly sought after.

Currently operating in a minimalist off-grid configuration, the home offers remarkable independence while retaining flexibility for future owners. Electricity is readily available from the roadside, and the home has already been fully wired and prepared for connection, should mains power be preferred. At present, lighting and refrigeration operate on 12-volt systems, with gas cooking and hot water, and a wood heater provides cosy winter warmth and ambience. Beneath the home, substantial under-house storage includes a laundry facility and plumbing provisions for a future second bathroom, offering exciting potential to further enhance the accommodation (STCA).

A separate 6.4m x 4m garage with roller door and glass sliding doors provides valuable additional storage, workshop space, or flexibility for hobbies and recreation. Water security is excellent, with approximately 22,000 litres of rainwater storage supported by an excellent roof catchment system, complemented by a gravity-fed tank supplying water back to the home.

The location is simply exceptional. Stroll to the pristine shoreline of Great Bay Beach, visit local producers nearby, enjoy artisan cheeses and fresh oysters and immerse yourself in the relaxed island lifestyle that continues to attract visitors and property owners from across the globe. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains conveniently located just 10 to 15 minutes from the ferry terminal, making island living, weekend escapes, or extended stays easily accessible from Hobart and greater Hobart areas.

Whether you're seeking a sustainable permanent residence, a private holiday retreat or an investment in one of Tasmania's most picturesque coastal communities, this remarkable property offers an enviable combination of thoughtful design, self-sufficiency, stunning natural beauty and an unbeatable Bruny Island lifestyle.
