It’s an opportunity that is almost never available.
Here in Rosetta, right next to the River Derwent, this sprawling five-bedroom property is one of few peers.
Not only has the home got a ton of lifestyle features set to wow people at inspection, it is the “location, location, location” that is impossible to beat.
Up and down the Derwent, few waterfront properties — if any — boast 3759sq m of land. And how many have a direct, uninterrupted view of our world-class museum, Mona? And a boathouse, private jetty, in-ground pool and a waterfront gazebo, too?

Elders Tasmania agent Abi Freeman described No.5 Strathaven Dr as a special property in many ways.
“It starts with the position by the water, with the jetty and boatshed,” she said.
“It is also a supremely private property. Inside the home, you feel like you could be in the middle of nowhere rather than 15 minutes from the Hobart CBD.
“The property also has no neighbours on one side, which adds to the private oasis feeling that it has.
“The way the house is set-up offers luxurious privacy, too. Its main living areas are positioned at the neighbourless end of the property.”

Since launch, Mrs Freeman said buyer inquiry had been strong, including interstate-based potential buyers who are making plans to come see the property in person.
Mrs Freeman said the owners have enjoyed the property for many years, but the time has come to write their next chapter.
The property’s privacy always impresses guests, the owners say.
“Our guests are always surprised by the sense of privacy this home offers,” they said.
“The panoramic water views, abundant birdlife, and the extensive gardens provide a sense of tranquillity and joy — your own piece of paradise.
“The house is perfect for family living, entertaining, and it would also make a great retreat.
“It could suit short-stay accommodation or a multi-generational family.”

This property provides a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial waterfront holding, with a title to the high watermark.
The spacious house was built in the 1950s, combining the understated elegance of its era with thoughtfully implemented contemporary updates, such as the pool deck, boathouse, jetty, hot tub and garage.
Conveniently set across one level, the home accommodates spacious and light-filled living, with extensive glazing framing mesmerising water vistas from many vantage points throughout the house.
Open-plan living off the entry foyer includes a well-equipped kitchen and dining room, leading into the formal dining and living room, adjacent — all with water views and a sunny northerly aspect.
A family room and study offer further flexible living options, with the family room opening to the pool deck for seamless indoor/outdoor living.
