A substantial water supply is assured by dual 15,000-litre tanks alongside dual 45kg gas bottles, and all essential services have been upgraded, including plumbing, gas, and electricity.

The property’s elevated coastal dunescape setting provides an appealing backdrop of native scrub and eucalypts, fostering an environment rich in local wildlife, including wombats, echidnas, and Tasmanian devils. The level cleared areas and gravel driveway facilitate parking for vehicles, caravans, or recreational equipment, with the grounds fully fenced and gated for security.

Proximity to the Arthur River and nearby beaches offers easy access to revered natural beauty and a breadth of outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, surfing, four-wheel driving, and hiking. Convenience is enhanced by the nearby local shop and takeaway for everyday essentials.
