The land area of Surveyors Bay occupies the western shore of the Huon River as it flows into the D'Entrecasteaux Chanel, one of the prettiest regions of southern Tasmania, and Big Roaring Beach where this property is located takes advantage of it all. Expanses of white sand and sparkling blue sea face the shores of South Bruny Island, whilst the surrounding gently, rolling hills and rich farmland enhance the property's holiday atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life.
Situated on a large block of 0.2823 hectares (approx. 0.7 acres) the house has a contemporary look with a skillion roof and natural, vertical timber cladding. A broad gravel driveway leads through gently sloping lawns to the house and a separate double garage, with two majestic gum trees giving character and definition. This low maintenance block is ideal for holiday cricket games and other recreational activities, whilst leaving scope for further landscaping if desired. The house itself has been oriented to take in the view of the Channel from the living space, with the deck and barbecue area facing north to maximise the sun throughout the day and into the long summer evenings. Simply and stylishly designed, the house incorporates a principal bedroom with built-in robe plus en suite, two further bedrooms with built-in robes that share the family bathroom, and a large living, dining and kitchen space. Tasmanian oak timber floors throughout, neutral colours on the walls, and a well-equipped kitchen with a touch of flair make this a most liveable proposition, added to which, the laundry is easily accessed from the carport – an ideal location for de-sanding after a day at the beach.
Big Roaring Beach is just over an hour's drive from Hobart through the scenic Huon Valley and is approximately 10 minutes' drive to the local township of Dover with its shops, Post Office, school and medical facilities, tourism, fishing and timber industries. It also has easy access to the beautiful Hartz Mountains National Park, the ever-popular Tahune Airwalk, the intriguing Hastings Caves with their nearby thermal springs, and Cockle Creek, the most southern road access point in Australia and the beginning point of treks into the South West National Park. With all this to offer in the hinterland, the property is a most attractive proposition as a home or as a holiday destination for personal use and/or rental, thereby making it a viable business venture.
