Presenting a truly exceptional and exclusive opportunity to secure a hidden gem on Tasmania?s pristine east coast, Ram Island, positioned between Orford and Swansea, is just one of only eleven privately owned islands in the state.
The 26-hectare (approx.) island is absolutely spectacular, with 360-degree views that need to be seen to be believed. The secluded landmass allows residents and visitors to feel miles away from the hustle and bustle, while situated deceptively close to everyday convenience.
Access to the Tasmanian mainland is mere minutes away via a private barge, inclusive to the island. Shops and essential services are located within twenty minutes in Triabunna, with the shopping hub of Sorell an hour away, and just a further fifteen-minute drive to Hobart International airport.
The bespoke property occupying a prime position on the island has been lovingly built by the owner, who is highly respected within the construction industry. It has been designed to function self-sufficiently, completely off-grid with 45kW solar, and 250,000L capacity water tanks, while still providing contemporary comfort for modern living.
Constructed to blend seamlessly with its pristine surrounds, the home features rich timbers throughout and statement steel. The main floor of the generous residence combines living with dining, with central wood heating for warmth. In addition, a media room sits adjacent, along with a home office, or study, and another family room occupies the upstairs level.
Abundant sunshine reaches every inch of the home through extensive glazing, which frames the unparalleled vistas, including the breathtaking outlook to Freycinet. Harmonious indoor-to-outdoor living transitions from the main lounge and dining to a wrap-around north-facing timber deck, from where the views are simply magical and unmatched.
For complete convenience and effortless entertaining, the home is serviced by two kitchens. Within the main living area, the sophisticated culinary space features extensive stone benchtops, premium appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The second kitchen occupies the lower-ground level, where the commercial-sized space comes complete with generous food storage and a walk-in cool room.
Luxurious accommodation comprises three large bedrooms, each brimming with natural light and warmth and with stunning vistas. On the main floor, two contain built-in wardrobes, and the deluxe master features a walk-in dressing room and a stylish ensuite.
The elegant bathroom features a walk-in glass shower, a large vanity, and a deep bathtub, with a separate toilet adjacent. The laundry, with plenty of storage, enjoys direct outdoor access via the mud room.
Outbuildings on the property provide abundant storage for all that is required to maintain a property of this ilk. A powered garage, with workshop space, also houses the power plant and equipment storage.
Entertain within complete seclusion anywhere on the island, where birdlife visitors include oystercatchers, rosellas, white-bellied sea eagles, wedged-tailed eagles, and owls. Wallabies and kangaroos also appear frequently. Take a short stroll from the main house to the water's edge, via the outdoor firepit, where dolphins and seals are known to frequent close to the shore.
From the sheltered timber deck, the unforgettable views offer an ever-changing backdrop to enjoy while dining and entertaining al fresco, where the area comes complete with a BBQ bar, and custom-built timber benches.
The natural, unspoiled landscape features established trees and greenery, with gently sloped, lush pastoral land leading down to the water in all directions. Contributing to the property?s eco-friendly ethos, and self-sufficiency, there is a fenced space that would serve well to grow your produce.
The island itself presents endless potential, to enjoy as a family getaway, a permanent residence, or a great investment opportunity for short-term accommodation pods (STCA). Its fabulous position takes full advantage of the proximity to multiple award-winning wineries, and picturesque beaches, unique to Tasmania.
With captivating vistas stretching as far as the eye can see, luxurious and expansive accommodation, and the convenience of shops, schools, and services just across the waterway with transport, this truly special opportunity to own a private island nestled between some of the most majestic landscapes in the country comes along once in a lifetime.
