Positioned where the Huon River Estuary and Port Cygnet meet near the D'entrecasteaux Channel in Tasmania's picturesque Huon Valley sits one of the state's most iconic properties,  ‘Beaupre Point’. Unrivalled in its combination, it offers its new owner a national award winning home, iconic peninsula location, luxury accommodation and so much more.

 

The main residence won the Master Builders’ Association Home of the Year in 2015 featuring two main pavilions crafted from a Macrocarpa Pine tree the owners reused from their previous home in the popular nearby township of Cygnet. 

Designed by Andy Lehman Design to match the style of the original apple barns that dot the roadsides and farms of the Huon Valley it features an understated design with high quality finishes, Blackbutt beams, custom built Cedar doors and windows. 

Positioned to capture the sun all day and take in the views of the water all around the point the privacy, views and experience are unrivalled in the area.

 

Featuring a spectacular convict sandstone outdoor fireplace that was saved and restored from the East Coast, timber arbour that is covered in an ornamental grape vine that contrasts brilliantly with the grey timber and earthy tones of the home. 

 

The quality sandstone finishes continue around the property and include large rectangular pavers in the entertaining areas, entry and stairs while convict sandstone mirroring the outdoor fireplace is featured as edging around the parking area.

 

A wood fired outdoor hot tub sits adjacent to the home and entertaining area taking inspiration from a Nordic design captured by the owners on an overseas holiday and takes in those private sweeping views from the end of the peninsula.

 

‘Coast House’, a single pavilion matching the main residence in design and construction facing to the North East half way along the peninsula, has been one of Tasmania's most sought after luxury self-contained accommodation locations for the past few seasons since opening and boasts rave reviews from its guests, a solid turnover and an 82% vacancy rate.  Coast House was featured as one of 52 Good Weekends away Australia wide 2020 in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age. 

 

The thoughtful design and position of Coast House allows you to feel as if you could almost step into the water as you sit inside and take in the views where the gentle rolling pasture slopes down to the water's edge. There is a master suite on each end of the building with outdoor access and raked ceilings that feature sliding privacy shutters outside the windows over the bath tubs.

 

It features a large open plan central living dining and kitchen area with dual large timber sliding doors that open up to a sandstone east facing entertaining area, ideal for breakfasts overlooking sunrise over Port Cygnet. A large island bench is central to the design of the kitchen where you can take in those stunning views similar combinations of Balckbutt, Tasmanian Oak and Cedar. 

 

The cottage is a small original building that has been let as an AirBNB in recent years and would make a great caretakers cottage and as with the other two dwellings, it features its own wireless NBN connection, own water supply and septic tank system and easy access to the foreshore in either direction. 

 

The 30 acres of level to gently sloping fertile farmland captures sun all day due to its waterside position away from the hills and mountains. Historic uses were for dairy and partial apple orchards on the eastern slope. There is potential for many agricultural pursuits with east, south and west facing slopes and a full northern exposure to the site. Wind rows run North South along the peninsula and consist of mature pine trees and blue gums. Rainfall averages a steady 800mm per annum across all months of the year with two dams that both feature electric pressure pumps, linked irrigation and a main 42mm pipeline to irrigate the property.

 

A quaint timber boat shed positioned near the foreshore reserve edge where access to the water is easy via a gently sloping neatly mown track making launching dinghies and kayaks a breeze. The boat mooring is located just to the west of the boat shed in Gourlay's Bay with approximately 15ft of depth available at low tide and if deeper water is required there is over 50ft just 200m to the south of the main home. The point offers around 1.5km of foreshore to explore which is made up of pebble beaches, small rocky outcrops and low tide rock pools all of which have an ample supply of oysters to fulfill yours and your guests appetites year round.

There is good line fishing either from the land or boat all around the point with Flathead and Salmon almost always on the menu.

 

The property's unique shape in the owner's words is like “owning your own island without the inconvenience.” It is 700m long north to south and 230m wide east to west, is surrounded by protected waterways sheltered from the prevailing swells by Bruny Island. The water that makes its way past Beaupre Point flows 170km, beginning in Tasmania's South West World Heritage Area and meanders by on its way to the D'entrecasteaux Channel and Tasman Sea.

 

Potential uses, subject to relevant approvals, could include further accommodation buildings, tourism expansion, a vineyard and cellar door or whiskey, cider or brewery with growing, producing and tasting all onsite. A wedding and events centre would compliment the use of the existing onsite accommodation and offer breathtaking photoshoot positions and memorable venues for a ceremony or simply enjoy as your own private retreat away from the world yet within 1 hour of Hobart's CBD, 10 minutes of the Cygnet township with many great cafes and restaurants to choose from and 75 minutes to the Hobart Airport.
