Step into this hidden retreat, nestled atop a ridge overlooking a magnificent view of the marina and down the Channel to Fluted Cape.

A rare opportunity to secure a serene oasis perfect for entertaining and enjoying all that this highly sought-after location and world class waterway has to offer.

A striking covered porch welcomes you into a foyer flooded with light and a grand staircase leading to a generously sized master bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe and balcony. Then up another level to a mezzanine where you can work from home in the large study or use it as an additional living area.

Back to the entry foyer, to the right is a lavishly appointed contemporary kitchen. Recently renovated and fitted with a Miele oven, Highland hotplates, two hidden dishwasher draws, and engineered stone bench tops. Extravagant windows forming an atrium extend as an angled ceiling, framing a birds-eye view of the serene D'Entrecasteaux Channel and thriving Kettering marina. A perfect place to leisurely eat breakfast and take in the views.

A comfortable combined living and dining area are enhanced by spectacular views out to the Channel and Bruny Island and is serviced by central heating which extends to the whole house or a gas simulated fire.
Floor to ceiling windows surround the room and sliding doors open to an expansive Vergola-covered deck and open air deck that basks in the northern sunshine. A perfect private entertaining area and idyllic spot to relax that is surrounded by established eucalyptus trees.

From the entry foyer downstairs are 2 bedrooms both with built-ins. The downstairs bathroom is filled with light through the angled glass ceiling over the luxurious bathtub and is adjacent to a separate WC and spacious new laundry.

A double carport, double lock-up garage, large shed and single lock up garage or indoor workshop off the house is perfect for the keen handy man or woman to tinker or use for storage. There is also a utility room as you enter the home from the garage that would also make a great wine cellar.

There is plenty of room to garden to your heart's desire on this 2.546ha or approximately 6.5 acre property or simply enjoy the handy raised corner garden for your kitchen herbs opposite the deck.

There are pristine beaches, the marina, art and craft installations and much more to enjoy from this flourishing location and the gateway to Bruny Island is just around the corner. Assimilate yourself in the local community by visiting the nearby pubs and cafes or take a short drive to a variety of locally produced and in some cases award winning wine, cider, gin, cheese, smoked trout, oysters and honey - just to name a few!

I invite you to discover an unparalleled lifestyle at this unique home in the Channel. Call Alison to arrange a private inspection today.
