On your deck, facing out to sea, you scan the blue waters for the spout of a humpback whale or the shining white triangle of a reaching sailboat making for Hobart.

You drop your gaze to the manicured lawns that slope down to the duck pond to see what the resident native hen family is up to. Then you have a word with a pair of cheeky green lorikeets who stop by on the rail.

Yes, it’s all too easy to get distracted. But come on, breathe deep the fresh air, pull on your wellies and head for the orchard. There’s fruit to be picked and potatoes to be dug for dinner!

For nature lovers, gardeners, sea-changers or city escapees, this delightfully landscaped small acreage may not be paradise. But it’s close enough.

The attractive and roomy three bedroom brick home feels warm and in harmony with the environment, featuring timber cathedral ceilings and exposed beams. The lovely timber kitchen has stainless steel modern appliances, breakfast bar, pantry and polished timber floors.

The open plan, carpeted living and dining area is heated with inverter heat pump for efficiency. For romantic evenings, there’s also a wood heater. Lots of glass windows and doors give access to cedar clad verandahs on two sides to catch the sun and capture the views, either bird-song-filled forest or shimmering ocean sunrise.

All of the bedrooms are generous and two have double built-ins. From the master you can lay in bed and watch through the glass sliders as the moon rises out of the sea.

Downstairs is a double garage, workshop/laundry and the third bedroom. More parking, storage or hobby space is catered for with a separate single lock-up garage away from the house.

The large family bathroom has both bath and glass shower. The toilet is separate.

Lifestyle may be a word overused, but it’s just what this remarkable property promises you. Seclusion, fabulous sun, stunning aspect, and the quality of the total package make this a truly outstanding offering just about impossible to match.

All this for a price that may surprise you.
