Nicely defined by perimeter roads 86.733ha (214.3acres) is adjoined on three titles. Proudly known for its environmental profile 'Mavista' offers natural values and conservation characteristics that typify Bruny Island's ecology.
The land is vastly diverse, with a unique composition, ranging in form from dense temperate eucalypt rainforest and native forest to fields and plains. Areas of coastal scrub and wetland vegetation stream along margins of a lagoon with two picturesque flowing creeks.
A permanent water supply runs through the property via Waterfall Creek and Captain Cook Creek. This pristine water flows into a river system, central to Adventure Bay. The waterway provides excellent habitat for a range of native bird and mammal species.
Close by 'Mavista Falls' is the only waterfall on Bruny Island and tumbles about 7metres on Waterfall Creek. The creek is never known to have stopped running and provides easily accessible, good quality, underground water on 'Mavista'. This permanent water supply potentially offers opportunity in agriculture development.
Remarkably, this property includes many mature eucalypts, especially Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus ovata. These provide excellent foraging and nesting habitat and are an important refuge for the iconic swift parrot (Lathamus discolor), which is critically endangered.
Also of significance is the excellent condition of vegetation, this together with the many majestic trees allows for an abundance of wildlife and biodiverse ecosystems within the environment.
In an elevated position a grand, north facing Tuscan-style homestead is privately set back from the quiet road. This 231sqm home spans across three levels with three separate living spaces. There are six bedrooms, two bathrooms and undercover outdoor entertaining. All the living spaces showcase extensive and exclusive views!
The stunning panorama from the house and grounds is far reaching across Storm Bay to the Tasmanian Peninsula incorporating Hounds Tooth with vast sea and sky.
Separate from the homestead the uniquely hexagonal, 'Honeycomb Cottage', is purpose-built and fully self-contained.

A piece de resistance is the terraced vineyard, "The Warm South", yielding 500 pinot mature vines. Irrigated and fenced, this established vineyard could easily be expanded and developed into a commercial enterprise.
There is a separate securely fenced paddock of 16ha (40acres) with quality fertile soil and additionally other paddocks, 'The Secret Flat' and 'The Hidden Valley' offer extremely good soil.
