Cloudy Bay beach house, Lot 1 777 Cloudy Bay Road, South Bruny Island, A symphony in glass, space, air and light, Offers over 1.5 million

Simply beautiful - and beautifully simple - this superb Tasmanian beach house nestles in native vegetation on South Bruny Island, bordering the coastal reserve and overlooking Cloudy Bay, Cape Bruny and the vast expanse of the Southern Ocean.

Rippling tussocks of poa grass slope down from the home's expansive decks to meet boobyalla thickets fringing the four-kilometre beach. The elevated position creates privacy and seclusion - floor to ceiling glass in the spacious living area and master bedroom frame sensational views of ocean, sky, islands, cliffs and distant mountains. This is a place to follow the patterns of the changing weather, to watch seabirds wheel on the wind, to see the endless lines of ocean swells curve in and crash on the sand.

Cloudy Bay Beach House was designed to complement its superlative environment by award-winning 1+2 Architecture; and constructed by the highly-regarded Hobart firm Macquarie Builders. Inside the house, uncompromising excellence is the keynote in the two linked pavilions, with high-quality appliances, furniture, floor coverings, fixtures and fittings throughout. Electric ceiling heating and a gas fire in the open-plan living and kitchen/dining area enhance the passive solar design features of the space. Industrial-standard double glazing maximises comfort and energy efficiency.

The light and spacious kitchen has stainless steel benchtops, gas cooktop, electric oven and oven/microwave and built-in espresso machine. The master ensuite bedroom looks directly to sea through a huge wall-sized window. The two additional bedrooms all have their own ensuites and all three bedrooms feature built-in robes. There is abundant extra space for storage in the house itself and in the large garage below.

Underground electricity from the state grid services the property - pure rainwater is gathered and stored in a 20,000 gallon tank.

Cloudy Bay is a 60 minute drive from the ferry crossing between Kettering and Bruny Island.

Cloudy Bay Beach House offers a discerning buyer the rare opportunity to secure a unique property in an iconic Tasmanian coastal location.

'Karana', 142 Church Road, Barnes Bay, North Bruny Island Offers over $720,000 Land area: 9.2322 hectares (20 acres), outstanding subdivision potential

This beautiful waterfront rural property overlooking the head of Barnes Bay offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the perfect combination of a country and seaside lifestyle.

The attractive, comfortable three bedroom home sits in a commanding elevated position with wide and uninterrupted views over Barnes Bay from the spacious living and kitchen/dining area, master bedroom and full-frontage deck. A second self-contained living area that was once used as farm-stay accommodation has been opened up into the main living space - this could be reversed if a new owner wished to create an income stream from the home or to accommodate two families in holiday times.

The land is fenced and under pasture with clumps of trees. There is a 400 metre water frontage with title to the high water mark on a sheltered arm of Barnes Bay. Two moorings, a private pontoon jetty, garage/workshop and several other sheds are all part of the property. There is substantial tank water storage as well as four dams and a bore.

The current owners have valued the seclusion and privacy (without isolation) offered by this very special parcel of land.

A future owner not needing all of the property and wishing to realise on their investment, may consider the flexible subdivision potential of the property. Just 10 minutes from the Roberts Point ferry terminal, it's quite possible to commute from Barnes Bay to Hobart, then come home to enjoy the peace and beauty of 'Karana'.

136 Simpsons Bay Road, Bruny Island, $360,000

Quality farmland, conservation values, private and secluded rural retreat

31 hectares, dams and creek, sheds and rustic cabin

This beautiful farmland with excellent rainfall borders a wetland conservation reserve on the shore of Simpsons Bay. Zoned as Primary Industry, the land comprises over 20 hectares of productive pasture as well as attractive native bush. Access is from Simpsons Bay Road and Bruny Island Main Road, south of The Neck. There is good vehicle access on tracks to all parts of the property. Internal and boundary fencing is adequate, there are two good dams and all paddocks have water for stock.

A large dam with resident swans and a smaller dam provide plentiful and permanent sources of water. The tidal Lutregala Creek runs through the property, enabling high-tide access by dinghy to Simpsons Bay, through the adjoining conservation reserve.

Aspects of the property have significant conservation value. A stand of Eucalyptus viminalis is home to a colony of rare and threatened Forty-spotted Pardalotes; a belt of tea-trees filters water draining from a lagoon into the protected wetlands; and the bushland areas provide habitat for abundant wildlife.

Buildings include a solidly-built two-level steel machinery shed, a substantial hay shed and a rustic but liveable two-room cabin, with electricity connected. Mains power and water runs underground from the main line at the cabin to a potential building site with attractive views of Simpsons Bay.

The property is ready to farm and would be an ideal location to build a private, secluded rural homestead.
