Opportunity knocks at 14 Vicary street Triabunna. This 1 bedroom room colonial classic built in 1842 is refurbished and ready to go as an inexpensive small home/ retreat – or can continue as a holiday rental B & B with commercial/residential, multi use zoning. There is plenty of scope to add alterations and additions at this address.

Situated on a large, level 830M2 allotment on the main street, 14 Vicary Street is known as ‘The Magistrates Cottage’ and is perfectly located to attract good patronage from a steadily expanding tourism trade to the magnificent Maria Island from the Spring Bay wharf, just 5 minutes walk away.

Initially a whaling port and home to a garrison charged with maintaining law and order on the Maria Island penal settlement at Darlington, the township of Triabunna and sheltered Spring Bay harbour was a major wooden boat building centre with some 120 vessels designed and built here and remains an increasingly important location for both commercial fishing and the expanding demands of recreational boating access to some of the moist acclaimed cruising and fishing grounds Australia wide.

Gateway to the Maria Coast and 3 wonderful national parks – Triabunna is poised to be rediscovered as visitor numbers increase and the town steadily transitions to a busy port once again. 14 Vicary St will play a role in this growth and recovery in due course.

The vendor has moved intrastate after substantially renovating the property, installing a heat pump, completing bathroom renovations, new floor coverings, ceiling insulation throughout, new fencing, garden shed, pergola and out door entertaining area with drop clears. The listing includes all white goods and a colorbond, lockup 1 car garage.

‘The Magistrates Cottage’ is beautifully presented inside and out – expressions of interest are invited. Jim Playsted, Harcourts South East.
