Then disappear off the face of the earth into your own private retreat where the ebb and flow of daily life fades to the ebb and flow of the tides The master-built residence takes pride of place in a private and tranquil position overlooking the ever-changing blue waters of Bass Strait. It was designed and built in 1990 by a local architect, Bruce Cameron, who used the panoramic view of Bass Strait as the focal point for the home. The delightful craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident and highlights the work of well-known local builder Mr Cowley and his then apprentice, award-winning master builder David Gates. Nestled in a natural amphitheatre, the house and surrounding gardens are a testament to quality and lasting style.Vaulted New Zealand Rimu ceilings in the main living area flow from the enormous stone wall featuring the towering, bespoke open fireplace and hearth. This stone wall is at the house's centre, creating a unique round dining room and features in the formal lounge/study. Painstakingly crafted over more than a year by a master stone mason with stone sourced from Round Hill, it provides a stunning backdrop to this incredible space. The internal doors are solid Macrocarpa, milled on the property, and the bedrooms (all of which have sea views) feature different Tasmanian timber built-in robes in each. Cedar windows, tinted to prevent glare on the brightest days, overlook the private stone beach where you can leave a dingy, ready for your seafaring adventures!
