ABOUT THE HOUSE....
GENERAL COMMENTS....
Our home for the past 8.5 years. We moved from a single bedroom high rise inner city apartment in Brisbane to the seclusion, remoteness and beauty of Flinders Island. Originally, it was a soldier settlers house that has been renovated a number of times so is in a very livable condition. It needs an energetic owner who is willing to invest a bit of time and effort in updating and renovating. This shouldn't take much money to get a even more livable and comfortable home .

ABOUT FLINDERS ISLANDS ISLAND'S AMAZING LIFESTYLE :....
....Which is one of the main reasons you're buying our house....Right!
It was definitely why we bought on Flinders. Regrettably, like everybody else I got old...DAMN! So am selling a lifestyle not so much a house!
If you're an Islander you KNOW THE SECRET?
If you're not an islander then you NEED to know THE SECRET?
What's the THE SECRET?
FLINDERS ... is TASSIE'S BEST KEPT SECRET AND AUSTRALIA'S FOR THAT MATTER!
(believe me!... Pristine beaches no footprints. Tranquility, peace and quiet, Flinders is a cross between the plains of the Darling Downs with Fraser Island thrown in for good measure. They tell me the fishing is great (Sorry, I'm no fisherman)
So... take a look at our property for a challenging and different lifestyle. There's a friendly community which are very welcoming to newcomers. And yes it is expensive living here (but the extra expense is worth it) and yes it gets a bit windy on occasion...So if your up for a challenge then purchasing this property is your next step up to a rewarding lifestyle.
Yes, the house like it's owner needs some tender loving care! But for the right person who wants a remote lifestyle this is ideal. The carpet in the dining room has recently been replaced the rest needs replacing and would give you a chance to select you own carpet...in fact, the whole house needs updating but is in a very livable condition as we have been living in it for the past 8.5 years and loved every minute of it as you would too. ..let alone the amazing deserted beaches and treks up some spectacular mountains. As I say AUSTRALIA'S AND TASMANIA'S BEST KEPT SECRET...so now the SECRET is out!!! I've never really been good at keeping secrets anyway.
You'll have no neighbors to worry about so if you want to play your music as loud as you want and that's okay. The cows in the paddock next door are always interesting to watch especially when they are calving (If you play your music loud the cow's seem to prefer Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up for your Rights, just saying) so far no mass uprising!
There's an IGA and post office, pub etc. at Whitemark about 23 kilometers west from the house. Also 30 kilometers to Lady Barren township on the south of the Island there is also a supermarket and pub etc.
If you're into fishing then this house is for you it's only a short distance to the amazing beaches. IT IS WHAT IT IS! TAKE A LOOK AT FLINDERS ISLAND TAS. Anyway you be the judge....come and have a look for yourselves.
ONE TO BEAM UP!
