If you do not wish to be part of the urban sprawl, wish to live in privacy, enjoy Nature, fresh air, Native bird, animal and plant life while being just a moderate drive for required town conveniences, look no further than this retreat just a few minutes from one of Tasmanias most popular national parks, and a uniquely personal home from which to enjoy it all from. With just a short walk down the pathway to the waters edge at high tide as a sheet across the estuary just over a couple of metres deep, to walking the tidal flats and paddling in the channel at low tide this is a wonderful lifestyle opportunity.

From the time you enter this property you are immediately captivated by the uniqueness of its establishment and design. It is clear that the property is lovingly maintained as a home that is reflective of environment as well as the personality that the current vendors have established during their years in residence. The design and presentation of the home, the outbuildings, vermin proof fencing of the boundaries as well as the vegetable and fruit gardens, native flora established to attract birdlife to the grounds and access to the tidal flats and channels leading to the estuary make this is an inviting location with very private qualities.

The home has been designed to complement the setting and blends with the landscape, the two storey three bedroom is constructed of mud-brick combined with local timber and stone features. The upstairs bedroom provides further elevation and more expansive views of the grounds. It also allows for the circulation of fresh breezes through the home during those warm summer afternoons and evenings and is flooded with natural light. Like the ground floor it maintains the hexagonal theme of the home.

The main living area is comprised of open plan lounge and dining area from the kitchen, with stone laid floors. The living area opens onto a patio and pergola leisure area. During the winter months the home may be warmed by the Masport wood heater with cooktop providing energy efficient heat that radiates through the rooms. The kitchen is well appointed and has an attractive colonial country theme and look. There is of course always the option of cooking on the barbecue in the spacious gazebo within the grounds and dining in this outdoor setting.

Outbuildings include a colour bond shed featuring two garages with roller doors, two carport bays for parking of trailers and boats undercover, or dry firewood wood storage, and two workshop bays. A greenhouse for extending the vegetable growing season within the vermin secure vegetable garden provides further produce options.

Water for domestic use is stored in two rainwater tanks collected from house and shed roofs, which also supply the vegetable gardens and water points in the yard. The vegetable and fruit gardens have vermin proof fencing, and produce an abundant supply of fresh produce. The grounds and gardens are low maintenance so that the owners can enjoy the many leisure and recreational opportunities this location has to offer. Even the rates are far more economical as there are no water or sewage components as additional charges.

As mentioned this unique property provides the opportunity to enjoy the privacy and quality lifestyle without isolation. The estuary is a popular destination for windsurfers, jet-skis, fisherman, kayak and canoe enthusiasts (depending on tides), as well as people enjoying tidal flats and the nearby National Park. Also just 6 or seven minutes away are 8 kilometres of prisitine white sands that are Bakers Beach itself. The property is approximately 20 to 25 minutes drive to Port Sorell or Latrobe, and only 20 to 35 minutes to East Devonport, Devonport or Deloraine.

This is a property will appeal to purchasers wishing to enjoy a natural setting without the threat of being overrun by neighbours, impending development, or having the tranquility destroyed by hoards of seasonal tourists. It is not out of touch nor is it in danger of losing its allure. Whether it is visiting for the first time and enjoying the sounds of the birds amongst trees and shrubs that were specifically planted to attract them back to the property and provide them with habitat or enjoying patio and gazebo or walk to the tidal flats and waters edge someone will be very happy make this private haven their new home.
