From the outside, it is hard to see why this house in a small Tasmanian town is asking nearly $2 million.
But step around the back, and everything suddenly makes sense.
This clifftop house overlooking the Bass Strait has some of the best views in the state.
On clear days, you can see for kilometres across the calm blue water.
With a golf course and a nature reserve next door, there is no danger of the view being lost to development in future.
The house is located on a rocky outcrop in Wynyard, a rural village on Tasmania’s north-west coast.
It sits above Fossil Bluff beach, where budding paleontologists can spot ancient shells and fossils in the 300 million-year-old cliffs.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house was built in 2018 as a luxurious family home.
“Perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views over Bass Strait and Fossil Bluff, this is a home that redefines relaxed, high-end living,” the listing reads.
The main living areas are clustered towards the northern end of the house to make the most of the dazzling sea views.
Wrap-around timber decks offer additional entertaining space in warm weather, while a cosy snug is tucked in the property’s western wing.
There are four bedrooms on the main floor, including a large master suite with ocean views and a private ensuite.
The house is on the market for $1,850,000 – well above the town’s median house price of $465,000.
Keryn Newman from LJ Hooker Wynyard has the listing.
“From the moment you enter, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a private retreat – one that offers peace, privacy and effortless style,” the listing reads.
“Just minutes from the Wynyard Golf Club and a short stroll to the beach, this home is where convenience meets serenity.”
