This very appealing block offers an excellent opportunity to build a holiday weekender, a permanent island home or an investment property to generate income from Bruny's booming tourism market.
The block is gently sloping and in an elevated position to maximise sunshine and enhance the delightful views down to Simmonds Cove. The land is cleared, with a shelter belt of pines on the roadside boundary and some attractive mature eucalypts at the back, providing habitat for birdlife.
Access is by a bitumen driveway from Dennes Road, a short, sealed no-through road. Onsite is a new Colorbond storage shed on a concrete pad (but moveable to another spot on the block if required) with adjacent underground power.
To be sold separately by negotiation are a shipping container, a good quality caravan and a second caravan that has been modified in the style of a gypsy van.
The shoreline of Simmonds Cove is only a couple of minutes walk away. This sheltered corner of Barnes Bay is one of the very few all-weather anchorages onBruny Island, just a short cruise across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel from the marina in Kettering or a pleasant half-day sail down the River Derwent from Hobart.
It's also the perfect spot to launch a dinghy or kayak or to anchor your cruising yacht in the bay.
Barnes Bay is only 15 minutes drive from the ferry terminal at Roberts Point. It is a quiet and peaceful spot that avoids the increasing tourism traffic at many other locations on the island.
This is one of the last parcels of quality residential land likely to be available in Barnes Bay. Don't miss out on the chance to own and build on your special piece of Bruny Island.
Please contact Jude to arrange an inspection.
