The double-storey, two-bedroom house is as close to the bay as you can get and boastfully ushers anyone who visits the property into “deep serenity mode”.

Nestled among the trees and hidden from street view, this property has privacy in spades, says listing agent Georgie Rayner of The Agency Hobart.

“Quite literally all you can hear are the waves on the beach,” she says.

“The privacy is extraordinary, every view is water, there’s nothing else to look at other than water and a couple of trees.”

Whether you sail on the bay or sink into pure bliss in the property’s outdoor bath, 68 Flakemores Road is an opportunity not to be missed, says Rayner.

Eggs and Bacon Bay is a pocket-sized neighbourhood located in the Huon Valley, and much local folklore surrounds the area’s breakfast buffet name. (It’s been rumoured to be named after a wild shrub flower called eggs and bacon that’s egg-yolk yellow with a streaky red centre.)

The nearest township to the property is Cygnet, a 20-minute drive away, and Rayner believes the home would suit someone who values privacy but still wants to be tethered to a thriving local community.

“Cygnet’s got a beautiful feel about it, it’s a wonderful community, it’s not just a little town where you blink and miss it, it’s got supermarkets, doctors, schools, churches, police, all of the above,” she says.

For locals looking for a weekender, this property doesn’t skip a beat with its quick escape from the city life.

“A lot of Hobartians for their lifestyle property or their shack, as we affectionately like to call them, provide me with the brief they don’t want to be any further than an hour away and this is within that hour perimeter of Hobart.”

Inspections of 68 Flakemores Road, Eggs and Bacon Bay, are by appointment only.
