Located a stone’s throw from the water’s edge on a secluded island sits an unassuming home that hides a spectacular view of the ocean from every angle.
The brown brick beach hut sits on Adventure Bay on Bruny Island, off the southeast coast of Tasmania, and boasts stunning ocean views on display throughout the house.
Adventure Bay was recently named one of the top five Australia’s Best Beaches of 2023 by noted conservationist Brad Farmer, who called it a ‘Tassie treasure’ and ‘pure, natural and unpretentious’.
The light-filled family home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an outdoor terrace, all surrounded by extensive gardens and the postcard-worthy natural beauty of the bay.
It recently sold for the first time in its 35-year life and sparked a bidding war when it went up for auction for an impressive $1.56 million.
