This cute-as-a-button Cornelian Bay boatshed could set a price record.

While some of these classic Hobart waterfront properties are still used for storing kayaks and fishing rods, others have been kitted out for luxurious relaxation.

At Boatshed No.34 on Queens Walk, the owners have invested significantly to make their little slice of heaven all the more heavenly.

Cara Montgomery from LJ Hooker Pinnacle Property said the goal was to make the property as comfortable as possible.

She described it as an “unrivalled sanctuary”.

These 34 New Town boatsheds are bought and sold as freehold buildings together with the Crown Leases for the water on which they sit to the high tide mark. They are used for recreational purposes only.

The sheds were originally built in the 1840s, but most that are still standing today date back to the 1920s and 1930s.
