Marketed in the $375,000-plus price range, the boat shed is positioned as the ideal refuge, perched on the lapping water.

“Whether you seek a place to celebrate, find solace, or simply unwind in private, this unique property is available for the taking,” the listing, handled by Peterswald for Property explains.

“Notably, it holds freehold ownership for the building and a Crown lease for the water it occupies up to the high-water mark. It’s important to emphasise that this property is designated for recreational use only.

Boat sheds are not residential and have to be used for enjoyment and entertainment only. This one is warmed by a fireplace, with a soaking tub overlooking the water, a deep deck for sunset drinks, and spacious living, kitchen and dining spaces.

New Town is a suburb of Hobart and its Cornelian Bay Boathouse restaurant is a drawcard.
