This picturesque family home on a large block is superbly positioned and perfectly designed for a growing family. There is a lot to like about this quality built home. It offers a relaxed lifestyle to the new owners with minimal upkeep required around the house and yard. The home consists of 4 bedrooms. The family bathroom has a spa and separate shower. Tasmanian timbers are used tastefully in a feature wall in the open plan dining room and the sunroom floor. The deck and front garden is a lovely spot for afternoon BBQ’s with friends and family. The backyard is well fenced, safe and secure for kids or pets. The large area of natural bush shields the house from the road and the driveway runs past this to the huge shed (room for the boat and other toys) and the lovely house next door.

In case you don’t know about Strahan town (which includes Macquarie Harbour, Sarah Island and the Gordon River), it is described as one of the most unique places in Southern Australia. It is located on a spectacularly beautiful Macquarie Harbour; great for kayaking, fishing and exploring! 298 km west of Hobart and 41 km from Queenstown, Strahan lies on the edge of the unspoiled beauty. It is well known for its spectacular sunsets at Ocean Beach and its easy walk through Peoples Park (right in town) leading to Hogarth Falls.
Take in the Wilderness – Strahan Tasmania is a must visit Tasmanian Experience Destination. Perhaps the most famous activity is the Gordon River Cruise that takes in Macquarie Harbour and the Lower Gordon River.
A short 7 minute drive from the house is the famous Ocean Beach with a huge expanse of sandy beach and views of the Southern Ocean.
Most tourists to Tasmania spend at least 2 nights in the area if only on a week’s trip the state – it is certainly “a must see experience”!

Site measurements and drawings are available for the existing buildings showing there are no problems turning the shed into a flat or unit or other accommodation. Subdivision is also an option STCA.

The kitchen has built in cupboards, a servery, gas cooker, stainless steel sink, dishwasher and range hood.

The house is structurally sound and in good condition. It is surrounded by established gardens and trees, partly fenced with paling fences and the natural bush screening the house from the road giving a lovely sense of privacy.

A beautiful presented and most well appointed house. It has everything one could need and more – especially for families. Strahan itself is a lovely town- perfectly set up for the tourists and so very clean too. The weather was a glorious 20 deg-perfect for sightseeing. We went on the seaplane trip down and were amazed at the huge amount of natural wilderness. Fantastic. A lovely stay, thank you.
