It’s hard to believe a property like this exists.
Total luxury, family-sized, and positioned mere steps from the sand and water of one of Australia’s most highly regarded beaches.
There are very few homes located on the beachside of the road in Adventure Bay. Uninterrupted water views are guaranteed.
In the tranquil enclave of Quiet Corner, nestled at the sheltered northern end of Adventure Bay, there are just four properties. And at the opposite end of the beach, even fewer. It’s a world-class position where properties are held onto tightly by their owners.
This is among the many reasons to describe No.649 Adventure Bay Rd as a “rarity”, says Fall Real Estate agent Jude Viney.
Mrs Viney said it is “as unique as it is outstanding”.
“The property is attracting attention, at first from local buyers and now an increasing number of interstate-based people are making inquiries,” she said.
“It is the type of property that would be impossible to find in many other states.”

No.649 is a two-storey brick beach house with striking timber features.
Boasting five bedrooms and direct beach access, it provides a rare opportunity for those seeking a slice of Tasmanian coastal paradise.
The property stands out for its prime position, and with nothing but a neatly-mown lawn separating the house from the sand, residents can enjoy uninterrupted views of the bay and immediate access to the beach.
Since 2018, the current owners have undertaken significant renovations to modernise and enhance the property.
The kitchen and living areas have been completely overhauled, creating a bright and practical space with ample storage.
The living area now opens onto an expansive lower-level deck through full-height glass bi-fold doors, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Mrs Viney said highlighting a favourite feature of the property was a challenge.
“This home has many attractive features, including how spacious and luxurious it is,” she said.
“For me, the large veranda out front is truly special. It gives you that ‘wow’ feeling; it is superb.”
This huge covered outdoor entertaining area can comfortably seat 12 people, while offering unforgettable panoramic views of the bay. It is an ideal spot for alfresco dining or simply relaxing while taking in the coastal scenery.
The home’s layout has been carefully considered for functionality and privacy, with the lower level featuring three bedrooms, including a children’s room, currently highlighted by charming tented beds.
A contemporary bathroom with a corner spa, a separate toilet, and a laundry complete the ground floor amenities.
There is a large utility room that provides ample storage space, a practical addition for a beachside property.

Upstairs, the master bedroom steals the show with its private deck offering superb views of Adventure Bay.
This level also houses a smaller bedroom and a study, providing flexibility for various living arrangements.
Throughout the home, Tasmanian oak feature wall panelling adds warmth and a distinctly local touch to the interiors.
The use of this iconic Tasmanian timber creates a seamless connection between the property and its island setting.
Despite its secluded feel, the property is conveniently located within walking distance of Adventure Bay’s amenities, including a general store, community centre, bowls club, and cafe. This balance of privacy and accessibility adds to the property’s appeal.
For water enthusiasts, the sale includes a deep water mooring suitable for boats up to 50 feet, as well as a semirigid inflatable dinghy for easy beach launches.

The bay offers excellent fishing opportunities, while the surrounding waters are known for abalone diving and crayfish along Bruny’s eastern coastline.
The property’s versatility is another key selling point.
It could serve as a permanent residence, a weekend retreat, or a potentially lucrative investment in Bruny Island’s burgeoning tourism industry.
Its successful history as a holiday rental property underscores its investment potential, with financial figures available for interested parties.
Mrs Viney said, while Bruny Island is a popular destination for tourists all year round, it is particularly bustling during the warmer months.
“After people return to work from their Christmas break, we often see a second surge of visitors throughout the rest of summer and into autumn,” she said.
