Style, History, Character! + Income Potential!

Lovingly reimagined 'Christopher Lumsden's Cottage', fondly referred to as 'The Dolls House' by Bruny Islanders, blends rich history with modern elegance!
Built in 1901 for the island's Anglican minister, this enchanting home is serenely set back from the main road and situated just 15 minutes from the island's ferry terminal.
This ideal location is a short and comfortable walk from the pristine shores of Great Bay with its stunning beach and minutes from gourmet delights, including fresh oysters, artisan cheeses, craft beers, and freshly baked wood-fired bread.
Stepping inside this historic gem and you discover a light-filled, modern kitchen ready for your own culinary creations, while the living and dining spaces exude warmth and an inviting atmosphere with timeless features of a bygone era.
This comfortable home, brimming with nostalgia, leaves you spoilt for choice. Two sets of French doors open to a lower veranda, this extends from the front wrapping around the northern side of the house where it joins a generous open timber deck, providing multiple spots to relax and take in the garden and beauty of the surrounds. With the ground level also accommodating a cozy reading room, it's hard to choose inside, or out, to take in the inspiring tranquility.
Upstairs, are three charming bedrooms, two featuring French doors that open to the upper veranda. Similarly to downstairs, this deck wraps around the front to the sunny northern side of the house where you can enjoy the morning sun or gaze at the stars in the evening. The third bedroom offers a peaceful view through a dormer window, framing the hills behind Great Bay.
The private backyard is great for entertaining, there's a firepit and a highlight is the separate undercover space for alfresco dining. Add to this a chicken coop, plenty of rainwater storage, and on 2,463sqm there's ample space for the caravan, boat, plus room to expand the newly established vegetable patch.
This remarkable property features a recently built workshop/gallery with 3 phase power. The studio space presents with its own visitor access and combined with the properties ideal location could provide endless possibilities for business ventures or creative pursuits (STCA).
Located on the popular Bruny Island food and wine route and surrounded by the best of Bruny Island's artisan delicacies, including world-renowned cheeses, craft beer, fresh honey, and oysters, the cottage offers not only a home but a gateway to a vibrant local food scene.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an opportunity to create a thriving business, Christopher Lumsden's Cottage provides the perfect setting to make it happen.
