50 Spitfarm Road

Wake each morning to breathtaking water views and fall asleep each night to the gentle sound of waves lapping the shore. This is absolute beachfront living at its best, where the beach becomes a natural extension to everyday life and each day feels like a seaside holiday! Nestled within the popular coastal community of Opossum Bay, this much-loved home has been treasured by the current owners for the past 18 years. It has been the idyllic setting to countless family celebrations, unforgettable Christmases, children building sandcastles and swimming in the water, and friendly games of beach cricket with fellow beachgoers as the sun disappeared beyond the horizon. Here, the sunsets are simply spectacular! Whether you're relaxing on the upper or lower deck, unwinding in one of the two sun-drenched living areas, or just enjoying the view from your bedroom, you'll never tire of watching the sky transform into a vibrant canvas each evening across the River Derwent to Mt Wellington. Designed to embrace its enviable waterfront position, the recently upgraded cantilevered Modwood decks with glass balustrade, provide the perfect setting for long, sun-drenched afternoons reading a book, enjoying a glass of wine waving to people on the beach as they walk by, or simply watching the ever-changing activity in the bay (including dolphins), and along the beach. Easy entry at street level from the secure parking space to inside, creates the perfect access year-round and for all ages. As you stand in the entrance, you catch a preview of the spectacular views before you. Down a few steps, the open plan living space opens up to a wall of glass windows where the vista is breathtakingly beautiful and uninterrupted. There's no need for pictures on the walls when you have these views! Around to the side is a surprisingly large Tas Oak kitchen with stone benchtops, a breakfast bar and lots of natural sunlight. When entertaining, the flow through this living space to outside is seamless. Two generous bedrooms on this upper level, both with built in robes, provide great accommodation for families, with a spacious, practical bathroom separating the two rooms. If you need more room, there is a downstairs rumpus complete with pool table, a smaller "kitchenette" and a second bathroom to service both this area and the third bedroom downstairs - making it more convenient when you are down at the beach and need to grab a quick snack, drink or use the bathroom. Again, sliding doors lead out onto the deck where stairs lead down to an elevated paved patio and a private boat shed, complete with a handy winch. Ideal for storing kayaks, paddleboards, inflatables, a dinghy or small runabout, the boat shed offers direct access across the sand into one of southern Tasmania's most family-friendly bays. Whether it's an early morning beach walk, an afternoon swim, or an evening stroll along the shoreline, steps down to the sandy beach are a welcome way to start or end your day. Entertaining here is effortless, with Australia Day long weekends becoming a much-anticipated tradition for family and friends. Positioned perfectly to witness one of Australia's great sporting spectacles, you'll enjoy front-row views of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race fleet as it makes its final approach to Hobart. Boat owners have the unique opportunity to head out onto the water for an even closer view of the yachts and accompanying flotilla, while the passing cruise ships throughout the season add to the ever-changing scenery. Move in just in time for summer and experience the vibrant atmosphere as the beach comes alive and the convenience of local stores in Opossum Bay and South Arm for those immediate supplies. No matter the season, every day offers something special, and every sunset is a reminder of just how extraordinary absolute beachfront living can be around 40 minutes drive to the centre of Hobart.
