Deep into the wilderness of southern Tasmania, this area is hiking, boating, fishing and photography heaven. Virtually right across from the shores of the stunningly beautiful Recherche Bay, this is as rare as they come. The spacious double brick home has been fully renovated and offers complete modern day comfort living in what is otherwise a very remote location.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen all enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of the bay through picture windows that frame the views beautifully. Also on the same level, there are 3 large bedrooms and the family bathroom with a separate toilet for convenience. Out the front is the full length balcony and underneath, is a huge rumpus room and garage with internal access into the middle of the house. Even here, there are large windows that frame the magnificent views of the bay. Down here there is more storage and the laundry with a separate second shower.
Fully self-sufficient, this property is amazingly well set-up. Power is generated from the solar panels on the massive carport roof and stored in the battery bank at the power station shed out the back. The power shed is the engine room for the property, housing the batteries, inverter and a diesel back-up generator to top up the batteries should that be required. The hot water is produced from a very efficient solar tube set-up.
At the rear of the house, the massive covered parking area is also ideal for all weather activities. Beyond this is a large fully fenced enclosure ideal for fruit trees, veggies and chickens. right out the back is a huge gravel parking, perfect for the boat, caravan and and visitors. Here there is a wood shed and workshop as well.Despite the full self-sufficient ability, and the remoteness of this pristine environment, the supermarket, doctors, hardware store and shops of Dover are around 30 minutes back up the road, for those emergencies and essential supplies.
Exploring the area is endless. Moor your boat directly out in front ready to go when you are. Across the bay is nature at its best appropriately named the French Gardens. Originally discovered by French explorers, they carried out research on the natural flora, fauna and geology, documenting their findings. Around the point is a remarkably stunning white beach and just beyond that is the entrance into the spectacular Southport Lagoon. Just a bit further down the road, you arrive at the most southern point you can drive to in Australia at Cockle Creek and is also the start of the Great South Cape Walk which takes you through to Port Davey.
This is a truly magical part of the world with a fantastic remote feel to it. A place where you can taste the fresh air. Recharge and revitalise. Ideal as a family getaway holiday house, but also perfectly well set-up to enjoy this way of life everyday. Please contact us anytime for further information or to arrange a private viewing.
