Peppermint Cove is a unique 10.5-hectare private peninsula with 'wide angle' water views at just 30 minutes driving time to Hobart and 45 to the airport.
It is the latest offering in the emerging niche market of Southern Tasmanian waterfront properties that has seen the recent sale of a nearby larger peninsula in excess of $7mil.
The property takes its name from Little Peppermint Bay to the south with Perch Bay to the north and is located between the towns of Woodbridge and Kettering.
The single-level homestead has an expansive 270-degree vista across the protected waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to both North and South Bruny Island. Importantly all front and side windows have water views, including the kitchen sink.
The 296m2 home has high ceilings, expansive living areas and a neutral colour palette, creating a stylish atmosphere which can be easily adapted to satisfy the most discerning buyer. Large picture windows allow natural light to flood the interior, accentuating the stunning water views and surrounding natural Australian countryside.
Privacy is assured via a 300 metre majestic tree-lined driveway down from the Channel Highway to the house that has just the right elevation to appreciate the surrounding water views.
Seals, dolphins, the odd whale and a great variety of bird life from sea-eagles to superb wrens complete the natural setting.
Multiple outdoor entertaining areas beckon you to dine al fresco or simply relax and unwind in a totally private and quiet corner of the world.
The developed property is fenced and well maintained to offer a variety of uses from agriculture to tourism development. Currently hay contractors cut annual grass growth for hay production, with local casual workers available for property maintenance. There is also the option of running livestock which means you can be hands-on or hands-off on this versatile property.
Peppermint Cove has an abundant independent water supply ... vital for independent and sustainable rural living. Two 90,000 litre concrete water tanks provide an inexhaustible supply of rainwater to the house. Just one tank has easily maintained the annual house-hold water needs over the last 20+ years for the current owners.
The second outstanding water feature is a 5 megalitre dam supplying gardens, orchard, lawns and paddock watering points. There is great potential for vegetable production and all-round self-sufficiency.
Water activities from sailing, motoring, fishing or kayaking are very popular on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel waters, sheltered by the 76km long Bruny Island, and Peppermint Cove offers unique private access to aquatic activities via the 90 foot Crown Lands coastal fringe. The property has a mooring available with a dingy kept on the remnants of a landing that once serviced a jetty in early settlement days.
The welcoming Kettering Yacht Club neighbours the modern Oyster Cove Marina with hard stand facilities and multiple on-site trades.
Both nearby towns are strong communities with restaurants, cafes, hotels, community centres and frequent activities such as music concerts. The Woodbridge School with its marine discovery centre is just 2km away. It caters for ages from kindergarten to year twelve. An IGA supermarket is 10 minutes north at Snug and major shopping can be found at Kingston, an easy 20 minute drive.
Proximity to Hobart sees many residents using Metro bus services for commuting to work, private schools, university and city shopping.
Exploring the beauty and tranquillity of Peppermint Cove and the magic of waterfront living in Tasmania is simply done by calling for a private inspection.
