Last Listing description (December 2018)

The 'Wheel House and Studio' is located in one of the most highly sought tourist destinations on the East Coast of Tasmania just a short drive from the Freycinet Peninsula and Wine Glass Bay. Located in the township of Bicheno, the property is just 100 metres from the well-known Bicheno Blowhole where you can regularly watch the fairy penguins at dusk and enjoy a scenic coastal walk along the esplanade to enjoy some of the finest seafood located north of the Freycinet Peninsula.
The main house is freshly painted, fully insulated and includes a good sized open plan living room with original brick wood burning fireplace, wood panelled wainscoting and timber flooring throughout. There are two bedrooms with built in wardrobes, combined bathroom/laundry and a charming light and bright kitchen full of character with brand new electric oven and plenty of storage. There is also a quality reverse cycle air-conditioning system in the home along with a 5kW solar power system. This home is truly economical with no energy bills at the residence for the past six years. You have ocean views of the Tasman Sea from most windows excluding bathroom.
The property also includes a separate one bedroom studio built just six years ago in the same architectural style as the main house which has become a highly popular choice for short term holiday stays. You could choose to continue enjoying a substantial income from this investment or maximise your return by incorporating the main house in your rental portfolio. Alternatively, you could just enjoy your days in paradise or perhaps move the whole family to this idyllic seaside hot spot.

Outside the home is fully fenced with three external sheds, two extra undercover storage areas, new driveway and two carports including one with high clearance ideal for your weekend boating adventures. The owner has also built a custom stainless-steel fish cleaning bench nearby. The property comes with an additional four tonnes of firewood to last the next twelve months.
The gardens are beautiful and include four raised fruit and vegetable beds with a built-in sprinkler system for the substantial established plantings. There is a level, low maintenance front lawn, colourful flower beds and delicious fruit trees such as peach, apricot, quince, plums, blueberry, apple, lemon and lime.
The 'Wheel House and Studio' are unlike anything else on the market in Bicheno and will be a highly sought after property.
