The morning silence is disturbed by a rising northeast swell breaking gently below, off secluded Stapleton Beach as the golden sun rises from Mercury Passage off Maria Island. It’s 6am and the raucous cries of 2 kookaburras herald a new day. A gentle breeze ripples the ocean below, Schouten Island’s cliffs reflect the morning sunlight, inviting fishing and diving activity in it’s clear blue waters. Albacore, Tiger Flathead, Abalone and Rock Lobster could be the catch of the day. Perhaps body surfing at Spring Beach or a long morning walk along nearby scenic Rheban Beach. Out on the deck 2 welcome swallows have arrived, soon to be joined by the spotted quail family, cheeky pardalotes and honey eaters for bath time. The property is offered fully furnished and suits dual living or holiday accommodation business and includes 3 decks, modern kitchen and Tas Oak floors. Your personal inspection is invited this weekend to fully appreciate this natural bushland hideaway overlooking the sea.
