120 Adventure Bay Road

Adventure Bay TAS 7150

Lovingly handcrafted over two decades with an artist's eye and deep respect for nature, the property comprises a character-filled main residence and an impressive two-storey studio/gallery with attached workshop, all set within an enchanting garden sanctuary. Every structure is a testament to creativity and craftsmanship, built from reclaimed and historic Tasmanian materials - from Hobart bank glass and timber salvaged from the Botanical Gardens to window frames from the old Workingmen's Club and double doors from Tattersalls Bar & Bistro.

Inside the residence, an open-plan living space flows seamlessly onto a generous deck where guests can unwind and watch native birds in the vibrant, established gardens.

Myrtle cabinetry, a driftwood breakfast bar sourced from the shores of Sheepwash Bay, and a mosaic-clad bathroom inspired by the ocean - complete with clawfoot bath - echo the island's wild beauty and soulful charm. Every detail feels thoughtfully placed, each element a quiet homage to Bruny's creative spirit. The home itself is warm and welcoming, with a serene bedroom, a kitchen and bathroom full of character, and a living space anchored by the gentle glow of a wood fire. A loft-style bedroom above offers room to dream, create, or simply unwind.

Set on over two glorious acres among native trees and birdsong, with a peaceful dam and abundant local wildlife, this is a place where nature and serenity gently converge. Sustainably designed, the property is powered by a combination of solar and mains electricity, with gas hot water for added efficiency. The grounds feature a flourishing garden with fruit trees, herbs, berries, and flowering natives that draw in birds and enhance the sense of immersion. After a day exploring Bruny's beaches and bushwalks, a barrel sauna invites you to unwind and soak up the quiet magic - with wallabies, echidnas, and native birds never far from view.

Just a short stroll from the main house, the striking celery top pine-clad studio/gallery - once a working exhibition space - now comes with extensive architectural plans for conversion into additional visitor accommodation (STCA). With its own water supply, a generous workshop, and a versatile upper level, it presents exciting potential for creative expansion or income generation.

Perfectly positioned just minutes from the heart of Adventure Bay, and only a 25-minute drive from the ferry service, Driftwood offers both privacy and convenience - seclusion without isolation.

Whether you're looking to step straight into a successful island tourism business, develop a boutique retreat, or simply retreat into a soulful, self-sustaining island lifestyle, Driftwood offers all this - and more.

This is not just a property. It's an experience, a story, and an invitation to live the very essence of Bruny Island.
