Rustic Retreat at Antechamber Bay
When you buy into an area such as Antechamber Bay, you're opening the door to a truly enriching lifestyle that enables you to appreciate and enjoy some of the island's finest natural attributes. Stunning beaches, beautiful rivers and lagoons and an abundance of flora and fauna for which the island is famous - it's all here.
Jump in the car and journey just twenty minutes east of Penneshaw and you'll arrive at this truly idyllic location. Panoramic coastal views from the elevated part of the property include the full sweep of Antechamber Bay and across Backstairs Passage to the mainland, as well as delightful vistas of Lashmar Lagoon and its neighbouring woodlands and farm estates. Sited on approximately 8 hectares (just under 20 acres) of undulating land is a rustic two bedroom retreat designed as a simple, fully off-grid getaway. The simplicity of the design together with the prettiest of settings, blend superbly to create a space you'll value and enjoy sharing with family and friends.
One of the features of the home, that we particularly love, is the wrap around verandah. It's certainly the place to be, to watch the local kangaroos sparring in the distance. Think barbecues on the deck or drinks on the outdoor lounge overlooking the lagoon as the sun sets for the day.
Head inside to the spacious living area, with a Nectre combustion fire and gas space heater for those chillier nights.
The kitchen is both practical and functional with plenty of storage, gas oven and cooktop, integrated dishwasher and a great sized island bench.
The open concept living and dining area enjoys high pitched ceilings and plenty of wall space for hanging your art collection. Large glass windows on the northern side of the building allow diners to enjoy both the company and the lagoon view!
There are two great sized bedrooms, one with built-in robes. The primary bedroom is also sufficiently large, that it could quite easily be converted to create an additional bedroom if required.
The bathroom features a a large walk-in shower with the (composting) toilet located externally under the main roof.
There are three large rainwater tanks providing a capacity of approximately 66,000 litres. The 5.3 kilowatt solar battery system takes care of your energy needs.
Whilst we think this property is fabulous as is, there is also undeniable potential here. Subject to planning consents, additional tourist accommodation could be of valuable consideration. Whilst the existing building is set at the bottom of the property, there are simply beautiful and expansive views at the top of the property just down from the entrance that take in the Lashmar Lagoon, mainland and ships traversing Backstairs Passage. Your imagination will be in overdrive!
