Nothing else comes close – quite literally – to 'The Keep', a remarkable, refined retreat on a spectacular 650m pinnacle where 360 degree views deliver the stunning scenery that defines Tasmania's north east corner.
This inspired re-imagining of a traditional Scottish fortified tower conveys a presence that's clearly striking yet certainly in sync with its majestic environs. External aesthetics that are dramatic yet simple reflect a clarity of thought that carries through to superb internal spaces where every luxury ensures this unforgettable setting can be appreciated in consummate comfort.
Since opening as an exclusive retreat 2 years ago, 'The Keep' has operated at 90% occupancy, showing excellent returns, above the market average, and has featured in major national and international media. Forward bookings indicate that level of interest will continue on into the foreseeable future. 'The Keep" has the benefit of an excellent management structure to ensure guests want for nothing during their stay.
The character and quality of the build begins with the ground level convenience of a double garage and ample storage space. On the first floor the allure ascends as a desirable bedroom, featuring a fabulous outlook, shares the level to an impressively appointed, fully tiled central bathroom.
Above, wonderful, welcoming living and dining areas make the most of views that will simply make you stop and stare, mesmerized by a landscape that seems to never end, captivated by the untamed beauty of natural bushland and Bass Strait waters that lie beyond.
A kitchen equipped with elite appliances and granite surfaces caters to every need with ease, further enhancing spaces that feature polished oak floors, efficient hydronic heating, effective double glazing and e-glass windows as well as comprehensive insulation and an entirely off-grid solar panel system and battery bank, supported by automatic generator back-up.
Daytime sights that extend towards Tasmania's northern and eastern coasts can offer views of the Bass Straight islands, South Mount Cameron, Georges Bay, St Helens Island and Mount Elephant while the Blue Tier's rainforest escarpment is closer at hand and night time lights from the Eddystone Lighthouse provide a rhythm to relax by.
Free from neighbours, on some 101ha bordering the Blue Tier Forest Reserve, The Keep's sublime surroundings are populated by myrtle, sassafras, celery-top pine, Tasmanian pepper and tree ferns, a perfect context for enjoying the company of wombats, quolls, pademelons, wallabies and wedge-tailed eagles.
Significantly successful as a short stay accommodation enterprise, uniquely enticing as your own exclusive escape – or a brilliant balance of both – from any perspective 'The Keep' is an irresistible, irreplaceable property in a world of its own. Opportunities abound to build on the current success of 'The Keep'.
