Set upon an expansive three-hectare allotment within a pristine, semi-rural environment, sits a remarkable family home boasting panoramic views across Mortimer Bay to Bruny Island and out to Betsey Island, providing a private wilderness retreat all within 30 minutes of the CBD.

Cleverly designed to complement its natural surrounds, the spacious home allows the integration of nature within the indoor space. Exposed timber beams and neutral hues, polished hardwood flooring, and cedar and celery top pine creates a warm and rustic ambiance. Extensive glazing allows for abundant sunshine, while framing the pristine bushland encasing the residence.

The ground floor features wide, open plan living, centred around a cosy wood heater. The light-filled lounge flows through to the dining, incorporating the modern kitchen with ample storage, premium appliances, and plenty of countertop space including an island bench for the ease of casual meals.

Continuing downstairs, two of three generous, bright bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with a combination of exposed brick and timber. Upstairs, the master suite with built-in storage awaits, with a private deck and majestic views spanning as far as the eye can see.

The upper-level contains the main bathroom, with a shower, bath, a vanity, and a toilet. Skylights ensure the space is well-lit and enjoys natural warmth. The ground floor contains a second power room within the laundry.

Outside, the expansive parcel of land provides a peaceful pastoral oasis, offering a tree-change with a plethora of local wildlife and birdlife visitors. Spectacular views capture the sparkling waters over Betsey Island to Storm Bay and Bruny Island.

At the front of the home, a clearing provides the perfect outdoor entertaining space, ideal for BBQs, and gatherings around a fire pit with family and friends, drinking in the stunning, ever-changing outlook.

On the property, multiple utility sheds are available for secure storage, and a lengthy private driveway offers no shortage of parking. Inside the home, easy access to the attic allows for ample interior storage.

Offering a peaceful and secluded lifestyle, with substantial living space both inside and out, this significant Sandford property immersed within the southern Tasmanian wilderness provides comfort and enviable views, all within an easy commute to the amenities of Hobart’s eastern shore.
