Glimpses of the water from its lofty position offer an ever-changing, natural theatre.

Penguins cuddle into the nearby dunes, in a part of the island known for its jaw-dropping, wild beauty.

The Agency Hobart described the elevated house as combining “rustic charm and modern comfort”.

“Elevated on sturdy steel posts to optimise views of the surrounding mountains and sparkling bay, this home is designed to immerse you in nature from every angle,” the listing says.

“Its timber-lined interior exudes warmth, while expansive windows in the open-plan living and kitchen spaces let in the sunlight and stunning scenery.

“Nature lovers will be captivated by the fairy penguins nesting in the dunes, and the neighbouring farmland, where cows, deer, bandicoots, and even wombats are occasional visitors.”

Agent Georgie Rayner is looking after the private sale of the two-bedroom, one-bathroom retreat.

“This lovely home has been cherished by its owners, who are reluctantly parting with it due to distance,” Rayner says in the listing.

“Perfect for those seeking a tranquil seaside lifestyle, this unique property promises a delightful escape in a spectacular setting.”

The black exterior contrasts harmoniously with the handsome, surrounding silver gums.

The new owner will enter over a walkway to a glass-encased deck circling the property.

Timber walls, a wood-burning fire lend warmth and texture. Two entertaining decks, off either side of the combined living and dining space, unfold to the scenery like wings.
