An unassuming “shack” with a stunning interior has broken the record for its suburb in an Australian coastal town.
Spread over 10 acres and overlooking the iconic Tasmanian coastline, the home is the perfect combination of cozy and stylish outdoor cabin living.
Located in the fishing village of Nubeena on the Tasman Peninsula, the house is just a 90-minute drive from Hobart’s bustling city centre.
It was recently sold to expats for $2.8 million after being purchased in 2022 for $1.16 million.
Real estate agent Georgie Rayner revealed almost 200 people took advantage of the opportunity when the home was first announced, with many eager to embrace the Tasmanian outdoors.
