8B Esplanade, Orford TAS 7190

Adjacent to the Millingtons Beach Conservation Area at the mouth of the Prosser River is this luxury plus, yet low maintenance contemporary beach house on two levels with three bedrooms (could be four) and four bathrooms. Enjoying elevated views to the Prosser Bay from an expansive lounge/living area upstairs, 8B Esplanade offers the perfect mix of a coastal retreat with strong holiday rental potential in this easy access beachside location.

Completed in 2005, the floorplan provides ensuites for every bedroom and a den or downstairs TV /family room would convert to a fourth bedroom if need be. Upstairs a magnificent chef's kitchen with an impressive array of appliances and dining area opens onto an al fresco outdoor dining area, through bi-folding doors.

A second deck has been created above the double garage at the entrance to the property and is accessed from the home theatre of the upstairs lounge and entertaining area. The rich luster of Tasmanian Blackwood timber used for cabinets and entry stairs is a feature of the property, matched with polished stainless steel balustrades and down pipes to add an extra touch of class to the property.

The home is heated by two heat pump air conditioners and finished externally with an attractive river stone render. The double car garage with roller door provides secure storage space for all those holiday toys, kayaks, golf clubs and fishing gear and could easily provide extra weatherproof camping accommodation at peak season for overflow guests.

All of this within five minutes' walk of either the Prosser River or Millingtons Beach for a regular swim at one of the several jetties and similar access to the local boat ramp to get launched and away for a catch of fresh coastal flathead from the Mercury Passage before lunch.

A terrific seaside nature walk alive with native bird life, stretching from the Prosser River mouth along West and East Shelly Beaches to the rolling surf of Spring Beach to the south is a must do. Or a daily ride around bike friendly Orford will provide a healthy lifestyle with plenty of regular exercise to work off holiday largesse and keep the family pet well exercised.

The Orford/Spring Beach precinct is well equipped with community support infrastructure including supermarkets, medical services, cafes, a pharmacy and golf, bowls, marinas and boating clubs - all this just one hour by car from the city of Hobart. What are you waiting for!
