Last Listing description (May 2024)
One of only 29 tightly held titles lining the magical beauty of East Shelly Beach at Orford, the current record price paid for an East Shelly property of $1,430,000 dates to 2018 and is certain to be eclipsed by 79 East Shelly Road.
The second only waterfront property to come to market since then - situated on an elevated site with panoramic views across the bay to the NW, 'Gairloch' was constructed in 1950 and has had just 4 owners including the vendor family these past 70 years.
With full services, larger lot sizes characterise the East Shelly precinct offering peaceful and private settings bordering the natural vegetation of the generous foreshore Crown reserve. Typically 1500sqm or larger titles preserve the amenity of the area while house proud owners keep their properties in good order with impressive landscaped gardens and discrete fencing.
On entry the Hampton style 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom home at 79 East Shelly Road instills an immediate Summer holiday feel with a luxurious, yet timeless ambience created by inviting indoor/ outdoor living spaces and a house full of natural light. A neutral d?cor of antique white provides a soft palette to contrast eclectic wall hangings, polished timber floors and splendid garden and water views through panoramic windows with a prominent waterside sun deck and veranda bringing the outside, inside.
A renovated kitchen, dining and bathroom in the main house have stood the test of time well and in the heart of the living area is a wonderful open fireplace faced with mountain stone and a large blackwood mantle, which would do a ski lodge proud. The perfect gathering place for Winter evenings by the sea in company with good friends sampling some of Tasmania's now famous spirits by a toasty, crackling wood fire. Large built in wardrobes provide plenty of storage and a separate laundry doubles as a butlers pantry.
A free standing 5th bedroom and 2nd bathroom offering self contained accommodation for guests and family is available in 'The Lodge' within the grounds of 'Gairloch' set among the gardens. Sundecks in front of and behind the house provide a choice of protected outdoor locations depending upon the breezes of the day.
With time on your hands a terrific seaside nature walk stretching from the Prosser River along West and East Shelly Beaches to the rolling surf of Spring Beach to the south, is a must do to a chorus of accompanying native bird life. Or a daily bike ride along coastal tracks to the Orford Shopping Centre will provide a healthy lifestyle with plenty of regular exercise to work off a cappuccino and keep the family pet well exercised.
With a local boat ramp, a bay full of moorings and several jetties, East Shelly Bay is protected from the afternoon sea breezes providing shelter for fishermen returning from the Mercury Passage and safe haven for small children paddling in the shallows.
Just 1 hour by car from Hobart the Orford/Spring Beach precinct is popular with cyclists and well equipped with community support infrastructure including supermarkets, medical services, cafes, a pharmacy, and golf, bowls, marinas and boating clubs. What are you waiting for!
