Offering privacy, tranquility and the luxury of space, 'Bonnie Doon' is an impressive Brian Wyatt-designed home overlooking the waterfront in highly coveted yet tightly held Birchs Bay in Southern Tasmania.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND Ms Boman said Bonnie Doon was an architectural statement, consisting of a Brian Wyatt designed renovation and extension of an 1880s cottage.

“The home’s natural design elements lay in unison with its picturesque surrounds and tranquil water views.

“Positioned on almost eight acres of pasture (approx. 3.24 ha.), the home is generously proportioned with multiple living areas and a private master suite,” she said.

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home has a price guide of offers over $4.5m.

Impressive in every way, the metamorphosis of this property from Federation Cottage on a waterside acreage to a masterfully executed statement in contemporary design, all at once succeeds in honouring the heritage of place and the home's quintessentially Tasmanian natural environment, whilst showcasing an artful way of living in direct response to the home's surrounds.

The original homestead accommodates three double bedrooms and a central bathroom, with multiple living spaces adjacent. An enclosed terrace leads to the next wing, comprising a workshop, storage and bathroom space on one side and a spacious home office or studio space for the artist.

A further deck leads to the heart of the property, with a generously proportioned two-storey wing offering expansive open plan living comprising the well-equipped kitchen with large walk in pantry, spacious dining area with fireplace, a sitting room and family room/ library all opening onto two patios, to create seamless indoor/outdoor living and there is also an indoor pool on this level.

The entry level of this wing contains the secluded master suite with an exquisite ensuite bathroom with two showers, two vanities and two toilets, capacious wardrobe space and a luxuriously deep freestanding tub.

Extensive glazing used throughout the home means it is almost impossible to escape the verdant bush and water views, and the considered use of natural stone and timber and earthy tones in the design brief sit comfortably in unison with the home's exterior.

Outside a stone fire pit features in the native garden, perfect for stargazing on crisp, clear Tasmanian nights, away from any light pollution.

A reflection pool on the deck is a relaxing place for quiet contemplation throughout the day.

A property that exceeds all superlatives, 'Bonnie Doon' is a rarity in any market, let alone amongst the rolling green and waterside coves of Birchs Bay.

Enjoy complete privacy within easy reach of local amenities, Hobart's CBD and the Hobart International Airport.

“Birchs Bay is a beautiful part of the world, just 40 minutes from Hobart, and this is a spectacular property in design and location. 

“It is a true lifestyle retreat, being incredibly private and peaceful.” Anne concluded.
