The impressively-equipped kitchen flows through to the dining area and the expansive living area, which is heated by an efficient 40 kg pellet heater. The living area extends across almost the full frontage of the home and opens out to a large full-width deck, making the most of the elevation and views. Off the kitchen is a large covered outdoor entertaining area with electrically-operated privacy blinds, heater, bar fridge and freezer.

The master bedroom has built-in robes and sliding glass doors that access the front deck. The second bedroom has attractive views into the garden. The bright, modern bathroom and laundry both have extensive storage space. There is a separate toilet.

Access to the home from the top part of Blyth Parade is via a wide concrete driveway with remotely-operated electric security gates. The owners, who built the home in 2010, have maximised space on the sloping and well-drained 2566 square metre block by constructing extensive rock and treated pine retaining walls that have created three level areas for parking and the large storage shed.

The large adjacent workshop and storage area has multiple power points. There is also substantial storage space beneath the home. The gardens, which include plantings of native species as well as several productive raised vegetable beds, are as beautifully maintained as the home itself. All boundaries have wallaby-proof fencing.

An additional special feature is a restored road-workers caravan that could serve as a handy sleep-out or an excellent retreat for a writer or artist.

Great Bay is only 15 minutes on a good sealed road from the Roberts Point ferry terminal, so its quite feasible to commute to the city. Close by are some of Brunys iconic foodie experiences - farm-fresh oysters from Get Shucked; artisan cheese, beer and bread from the Bruny Island Cheese Company; and sweet treats from Bruny Island Honey.

At the base of the property there are steps to the road then a walking track (used almost exclusively by locals) to a safe, sandy beach for swimming, fishing and kayaking.

Properties of this character and quality are few and far between. 56 Blyth Parade has enormous potential as a full-time island home, a superior weekender or an outstanding short-term accommodation property that would generate a strong income stream from Bruny Islands impressive and growing reputation as a magnet for visitors.
