From the Agent: "Get back to nature in this exquisite pavilion-style residence set amongst gorgeous acreage on Tasmania’s pristine coastline. As you pull into the property, you will feel as though you have entered a luxurious eco-retreat with a sense of serenity and tranquil bushland spread over nine acres. Head inside to the main living area which has an incredibly grand feel with dramatically high ceilings and an abundant supply of natural light. When you are ready to head outside, what better way to relax and unwind than by sitting back on the deck and gazing at nature’s beauty. Afterwards, you can take a 10-minute stroll along the cliff to Spring Beach and watch the sunset by the ocean. With five spacious bedrooms, a home office, kids’ retreat, separate guest wing, and three bathrooms, there is plenty of space for everyone."
