232 Safety Cove Road, Port Arthur, Tas 7182

Once upon a chilling colonial time, any imagined association of Port Arthur with escape would have been the stuff of virtually hopeless dreams. But that was then. Now Port Arthur, despite the stark reminders of its punitive past, offers the real prospect of a carefree get-away. And an affordable one at this enviable property that has long served as a happy family holiday home-away-from-home.

What the timber-lined converted shed may lack in luxury it offers in the priceless attractions of its natural environment. The picturesque beauty and verdant bushland of the Tasman Peninsula. The proximity of secluded beaches and rocky headlands. Coves to discover and the aptly-named Remarkable cave to explore. Then there’s a track winding along the beach to the back of the historic convict settlement that can get you free access as a local ratepayer.

All this plus the bonus of friendly resident neighbours who are happy to socialise over a drink, a pizza or a game - and keep a vigilant eye on your place when you’re not there.

The 1040 square metre property comprises the weather-proof, colourbond shed fitted out with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living space with a wood-fired heater for cooler days and cosy nights. Please note that it is not classified as a residential dwelling but could easily be incorporated into one.

The kids or friends can hunker down in the separate bunkhouse after swapping yarns around the campfire. At the rear is a garden/storage shed with ample room for kayaks, bikes, fishing gear and tools.

Quite a site to behold and enjoy. Contact Paul on 0418 962 300 for plans and further particulars.
