Nestled in the serene wilderness of South Bruny Island, this private 12.14-hectare parcel of pristine forest is a nature lover's dream come true. Located just a two-minute drive from Cloudy Bay Beach, renowned for its epic surf conditions and breathtaking natural beauty, this property offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience.

At the heart of this idyllic retreat is a rustic yet comfortable two-bedroom cottage, lovingly built in 1992 with an artistic flair that adds to its charm. The cottage seamlessly integrates with the surrounding natural beauty, offering a unique and tranquil living experience and the large deck allows you to immerse yourself in the sights and birdsong of the forest.

You immediately sense the magic of this location as you enter the property along a 200-metre driveway, crossing over pure mountain water from Saintys Creek. Two creek lines fringed with beautiful ferns and rainforest trees ensure a pristine water source. Clean clear freshwater on the northern boundary meets the saltwater on the southern boundary and the creek flows into famous Cloudy Bay Lagoon, with its great fishing and worldclass Oyster Beds.

Despite its remote feel, the comfortable cottage has modern conveniences. It's connected to the grid, offering reliable internet access and has a landline. Inside, the cottage features Tasmanian Oak flooring and native blackwood kitchen benchtops, showcasing the natural beauty of the region. There are many windows ensuring the home is filled with light and a skylight in the open plan kitchen and living fills this central space with a sense of nature and sky. Adding to the ambience a large wood fire heater keeps the cottage cosy and gas hot water ensures year-round comfort.

The property boasts abundant rainwater supply with 23,000 litres of water storage, and a top tank fed by the creek. There's a very cute cubby with a treehouse feel for the kids and for those wanting to appreciate the spectacular night show, an outdoor fire bath is perfect for evening stargazing.

With a little TLC, a large established garden bed can be ready for new owners to be totally self-sufficient, and an old shed will be very handy for storage.

At the upper reaches of the property tracks lead to good vantage points to experience beautiful mountain views, coastal heathlands, and sandy creeks.

This haven is certainly a bird lovers paradise, Swift Parrots nest in majestic Bluegums each spring, Fortyspotted Pardalotes feed in the Whitgums along the creek and Masked Owls fly home each dawn with Firetail Finches that feed out the windows… the birdsong is just magical!

For outdoor enthusiasts, the possibilities for this property are virtually limitless. Boasting an ideal and picturesque campsite with potential to generate an income and/or to establish cabins to cater for the tourism trade (STCA).
