Lauderdale 53 Bayside Drive

Individual and irrefutably iconic, this architectural dual-living residence fittingly stakes its claim as one of Tasmania’s most distinguished opportunities.

Uninterrupted water views over Mays Beach take centre stage, framed by the home’s modern and minimalist architectural brilliance on just under one hectare at the premier end of Lauderdale’s celebrated Bayside Drive. Designed to enhance its stunning easterly aspect and with an additional guest residence on the same title, this property is as exclusive as it is lucrative.

The sheltered and secluded position affords the lucky residents a glorious environment of coastal peace with the sounds of birdlife and waves arriving on the beach below never interrupted by noises such as passing cars.

Phenomenal sunrises and moonrises over the water, regular sightings of dolphins and sea eagles, with occasional whales, and private surf beach access accentuate its rare waterfront position, with views towards Norfolk Bay and the Tasman Peninsula or south to Clifton Beach. There are walks in your own piece of coastal bush, with pademelons, potoroos, bandicoots and echidnas resident on the property.

The 3 bedroom main house is on one level – with under-house storage and an 8×4 metre studio/workshop below – all finished in a blend of raw and refined materials fashioned with seductively curved walls and a softened colour palette that seamlessly integrates with the rugged landscape. The elegant living room has been designed to be an acoustically restful place, with its extensive built-in bookshelves and home theatre. Raked ceilings and walls of glazing opening onto the balcony in the second living space are wondrously overseen from the gourmet stone kitchen, replete with high-end fittings and fixtures. The master bedroom opens out onto a private garden terrace with stunning views. All bedrooms overlook Frederick Henry Bay 50 metres below.

Step from your property onto the golden sands of Mays Surf Beach, potter in the easy-care kitchen garden, or enjoy the verdant nature that completely encases the home. A leisurely twenty-two minute drive puts you in the heart of Hobart CBD or the remote beauty of the South Arm Peninsula, with Hobart International Airport less than 20 minutes from the front door.

Lauderdale is a highly sought-after beachside village, boasting excellent gourmet shopping and a variety of dining options, with medical, gardening and recreational needs well catered for. There is an excellent coastal walk extending from Seven Mile Beach to Cremorne (20 kilometres) privately accessed, immediately below this magnificently situated property.
