On the high side of Cox Drive, in a sunny, elevated position that makes the most of the spectacular water views, this attractive, carefully-maintained piece of Bruny Island real estate is a short stroll away from the safe and sheltered Nebraska Beach at Dennes Point, on the northern tip of the island.

On the lower level are open-plan living and dining areas with high ceilings, and a practical galley-style kitchen, a bathroom, lavatory, laundry and two bedrooms. A wood heater keeps things cosy. The main entrance door gives access to an open veranda across the full width of the front and along one side of the house. Relaxing in a comfy seat on this veranda, you feel as if you’re sitting among the trees, with the D’Entrecasteaux Channel laid out before you in a view that can never be built out.

Upstairs is one large bedroom or an extra living space, with another full-width open veranda, this time at the rear of the house, looking up through peppermint gums to the attractive native bushland that borders the block; and looking down to a sheltered paved outdoor courtyard, just the spot for a barbecue or glass of cool wine on a warm day. There is abundant water storage and a useful garden shed. All white goods and most furniture is included in the sale, so the house is ready for you to move in and enjoy.

The little seaside village of Dennes Point is home to a friendly and welcoming community of local people. The new focus of the village is The Point bistro, gallery and providore – Kris and Ray’s creative fare and seriously good coffee make it the place to be for brunch, lunch or dinner. Dennes Point is just 20 minutes’ drive from the Roberts Point ferry terminal, so if you leave the city after work on a Friday afternoon, you can easily be enjoying a bubbly on the veranda before dinner, then watching the sunset afterwards.

The vendors are keen to move on to new projects so they have placed a very realistic price on the property. Whether you’re interested in a permanent sea/tree change home, a comfortable and substantial holiday house or perhaps an investment opportunity that taps into the location’s growing tourism business, here is the perfect real estate package on beautiful Bruny Island.
