165 Lighthouse Road South Bruny, 7150 TAS

A Hidden South Bruny Sanctuary - 10 Acres Opposite Little Taylors Bay

There are properties that offer land, there are properties that offer lifestyle, and then there are those rare places that offer something much harder to find, a genuine sense of wonder.

Set on an impressive 4.181 hectares directly opposite the pristine waters of Little Taylors Bay, this remarkable South Bruny Island holding is one of those increasingly rare places where nature, privacy, and possibility combine to create something truly special. For the current owner, this property has been a treasured family retreat. Countless days have been spent swimming in the crystal-clear waters across the road, walking the untouched shoreline, watching eagles soar overhead and sharing simple moments together in a place that often felt like their own private corner of the world.

As you enter the property, an established access road winds its way through the landscape before revealing a hidden sanctuary crafted with care and affection. Feeling almost like a tucked away secret amongst the natural bushland this luxurious camping experience is unlike any other.

A thoughtfully constructed shack features as a charming off-grid sleepout with beautiful Baltic Pine, creating a warm and inviting space that instantly feels like home. Complementing the sleepout is an outdoor kitchen and bathroom complete with a bath, allowing you to soak beneath the stars after a day spent exploring the island. A drop toilet, gas hot water system, generator, solar-powered fridge and practical off-grid infrastructure make this an exceptionally comfortable base from which to enjoy the property immediately. Adding further flexibility are two shipping containers currently on-site, available to be included subject to the sale price offered, along with an irresistibly charming retro caravan equipped with facilities that perfectly complement the property's relaxed island character. While the existing setup provides an idyllic escape, the true beauty of this acreage lies in the possibilities it presents.

A meandering winter-flowing creek, known as Elliotts Creek, stretches through the property, creating a peaceful natural corridor rich with birdlife and native vegetation. Wander alongside its banks and discover lush clearings, attractive pasture, a picturesque dam and waterhole, and impressive stands of Blackwood and Blue Gum Forest alive with birdsong. Wildlife enthusiasts will immediately feel at home, with the property supporting an abundance of native flora and fauna. Regular visits from large flocks of Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos and two resident eagles can often be seen gliding effortlessly above the landscape. Every season brings new colour, movement and life to this extraordinary natural environment.

Elevated and north-facing building sites provide exciting opportunities to create a permanent residence or dream island getaway. Subject to the necessary approvals, there is potential to capture either beautiful Channel views or enjoy complete privacy with a stunning rural outlook framed by the surrounding mountain landscape.

One of the property's most exceptional features is its relationship with the water. Little Taylors Bay lies directly across the road, placing peaceful swimming, kayaking, fishing and shoreline walks virtually at your doorstep. The bay remains one of South Bruny's hidden gems, tranquil, picturesque and wonderfully private. From here, some of Bruny Island's most celebrated attractions are within easy reach. The Lunawanna Jetty is only five minutes away, while nearby South Bruny National Park offers endless opportunities for adventure and exploration. Discover iconic destinations including the historic lighthouse, Jetty Beach, spectacular coastal walks and the world-renowned surf break of Cloudy Bay. Alonnah township is just a short ten-minute drive, providing convenient access to local services including the school, medical centre, chemist, post office, marina and hotel.

Zoned Rural Resource, the property offers flexibility for a variety of future uses, whether you envision a hobby farm, lifestyle retreat, eco-tourism venture, permanent residence or simply a private sanctuary where family and friends can reconnect with nature.

Lifestyle acreages in this tightly held part of South Bruny Island are becoming increasingly difficult to secure. Here, there is a rare feeling of being completely removed from the pressures of modern life, while still remaining within reach of local amenities and less than two hours from Hobart. This is more than a parcel of land. It's a place where mornings begin with birdsong and sea air, where afternoons are spent swimming in crystal-clear waters, where eagles circle overhead and stars fill the night sky. A place where busy lives slow down, where memories are made, and where the natural world takes centre stage.

For those seeking privacy, beauty, adventure and the opportunity to create something truly extraordinary, this hidden South Bruny Island sanctuary represents an exceptionally rare offering.
