Swansea

Located only minutes south of Swansea on Tasmania's stunning East Coast is Eton House, a stylish, contemporary dwelling; an ideal 'getaway' from city life. This waterfront property faces north-East, making the most of the sunshine and the stunning views across Great Oyster Bay to Dolphin Sands and Freycinet Peninsula with its iconic pink granite Hazards range. The house has been sensitively designed to blend with the environment, its solid bluestone walls softened by areas of exposed timber. Three double bedrooms and two bathrooms make up the bedroom wing, two of the bedrooms enjoying the ever-changing water views, whilst the living area, with a bespoke wooden kitchen at the rear housing quality appliances, stretches across the centre front of the building. The floor to ceiling windows make the most of the panoramic scenery, with sliding doors opening onto two separate decks from which steps lead down to gently sloping lawns, classic drystone walls that define the property and Cowrie Beach beyond. Being located in the environmentally aware Piermont complex, there is also access to the nearby private Coswell, and Piermont Beaches. This area of Tasmania's East Coast with its vast stretches of sandy beaches is not only renowned for its beauty, but also for its fine wines and seafood. Quality vineyards with cellar doors are open all year-round, many also catering with local Tasmanian fare for those leisurely lunches. Nearby Swansea is a hive of activity with cafés, galleries and shops, whilst further afield are the townships of Coles Bay, Bicheno and Triabunna, each with their own character and facilities. Maria Island and Freycinet National Parks, famous for their beauty, walks and history are easily accessible, along with the Douglas Apsley Gorge to the north. Eton House is an idyllic property and has been successfully run as a short-term stay business, but could easily be a private beach house or a combination of both. It is not often that a quality, waterfront property with such stunning views comes on the market.
