9/36 Franks Street

On Tasmania's east coast, where the Tasman Sea meets some of the cleanest air and clearest water in the world, 'Saltwater' is the flagship residence of an exclusive coastal development. Set on 7,842sqm with direct private steps to the beach, this is a position that simply does not come up on this coastline. The home itself has four bedrooms and three bathrooms across multiple living zones, every one of them oriented to the water. Ocean views carry through almost every room. The master is a wing of its own with a substantial walk-in robe and full ensuite, and a second bedroom is also ensuited, ideal for extended family or guests who expect the same standard as the owners. Inside, the palette is deliberately quiet. Neutral tones, plantation shutters, and clean lines let the view do the work. A Scandia fireplace anchors the main living area for the cooler months, with reverse-cycle climate control throughout the home. The kitchen is fitted with European appliances and underfloor heating, and flows to outdoor entertaining areas on the north, west, and east aspects, so there is always a sheltered side of the house and always a side following the sun. To the southern side of the home is a spacious, new workshop and garage. Concrete flooring, plenty of room for multiple vehicles, equipment, tools, and project space, with ocean views from inside. The property is also set up for independent coastal living, with multiple water tanks, electric heating with a combination of gas and electric hot water. Falmouth sits on Tasmania's east coast, a part of Australia that international travel writers consistently rank among the most beautiful coastlines in the world. For surfers, the position is hard to beat. The break directly out the front of the property fires on the right swell, the Falmouth beach break is excellent on its day, and there are plenty of other quality breaks within easy reach up and down the coast. Just to the north is the Bay of Fires, the white sand and orange lichen boulders that have made the East Coast famous. A short drive inland takes you to St Helens and Blue Derby, home to some of the most highly regarded mountain bike trails in the world, drawing riders from across the globe. The East Coast vineyards and cellar doors are scattered throughout the region, producing cool-climate pinot noir and chardonnay that rival anything on the mainland. To the south sits Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay, regularly listed among the world's top beaches. Hobart and MONA are within comfortable reach for a weekend, and Launceston Airport is roughly ninety minutes away with direct connections to Melbourne and Sydney. Tasmania has quietly become one of the most sought-after lifestyle destinations in the southern hemisphere. Clean, safe, uncrowded, and politically stable, with the kind of natural environment that buyers in Europe, Asia, and North America are increasingly looking for and increasingly unable to find at home. "Saltwater" is not simply a beachfront house. It is a 7,842sqm holding with private ocean access, in a country that ranks among the safest in the world, on a coastline that is essentially undeveloped, in a part of Tasmania that sophisticated travellers are only just beginning to discover. Properties of this scale, position, and quality on Tasmania's east coast can be counted on one hand. This is one of them.
