24 Manning Drive

Abode Set amid more than nine acres of gently elevated coastal land, 24 Manning Drive, Orford is a place where design and nature meet in perfect harmony. Conceived as a private retreat, the home is encircled by native bushland and enjoys soft ocean glimpses that shift with the light. The setting is peaceful and secluded, yet just minutes from Orford's town centre and a leisurely stroll from the turquoise waters of Spring Beach. Recently, and beautifully, renovated by Ferguson Building Solutions, with interior design by Laura Wells of Pholio, the home showcases new timber flooring throughout, freshly painted interiors and exterior, and a new pool heater and fence. Every detail feels fresh, inviting, and ready to enjoy. The residence unfolds in a striking pavilion form, defined by dramatic cathedral ceilings, walls of glass, and warm natural finishes. The open-plan living area forms the heart of the home, anchored by a fireplace and framed by expansive glazing that captures sunlight and views, while the contemporary kitchen connects seamlessly to the dining zone with its full-height windows that create the sensation of dining among the trees. Accommodation is generous, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged to provide privacy and flexibility. A separate guest wing and dedicated children's retreat make the home ideal for hosting family and friends or offering short-stay accommodation. Each bedroom enjoys its own outlook, from leafy bushland scenes to distant ocean horizons, reinforcing the home's connection to its surroundings. Outdoor living is celebrated with multiple decks positioned to capture the sun and frame the views. A sparkling in-ground pool forms the centrepiece of the outdoor space, creating a resort-style focal point for warm summer days, while the expansive grounds invite exploration and unhurried living. The property is currently a successfully managed Airbnb, with the opportunity to continue seamless management under the experienced care of Little City Group. Area Less than an hour from Hobart, and approximately 45 minutes from Hobart Airport, Orford is a beloved coastal destination offering a welcoming community, charming cafés, and access to Maria Island and Tasmania's east coast. At 24 Manning Drive, architectural sophistication and natural serenity come beautifully together. An inspiring retreat for permanent living, a family escape, or a premium getaway for guests seeking the essence of Tasmania's coast and country combined.
