104 Swanwick Drive., Coles Bay, Tas 7215

There are waterfront homes, and then there are homes where the sound of the water, the vista and the salt air become part of everyday life. This is 104 Swanwick Drive, Coles Bay.

This home is absolute waterfront in every sense. Wander from the house through the garden and down to the shoreline of Swanwick Bay. Launch the kayak, cast in a fishing line with the children, sit by the water as the afternoon disappears, or simply watch the changing light across the bay as the sun sets in front of you.

It is a location that is increasingly difficult to find, and almost impossible to replicate. Set on more than a quarter of an acre in one of Coles Bay's tightly held waterfront pockets, the home is wonderfully private from the street. It gives little away on arrival, screened by established gardens and set back from the road, before opening to reveal the water beyond.

And what a reveal it is. Inside, Swanwick Bay immediately takes centre stage. Expanses of floor to ceiling glass, including frameless glazing, draw your eye straight to the water, while a series of gentle split levels gives the home its distinctive character. It is interesting, warm and beautifully individual, with spaces that connect while still having their own personality.

There is a wonderful sense of Tasmania here too.

Tasmanian timbers feature throughout the home, complemented by substantial feature walls individually crafted from locally sourced Freycinet granite. These are not simply decorative details. They give the home substance, texture and a genuine connection to its surroundings. There is craftsmanship here that you notice, and character that could never be recreated by choosing finishes from a catalogue.

The three bedrooms and two bathrooms have been thoughtfully positioned across the different levels of the home. The main bedroom wakes to Swanwick Bay, with the water providing an ever changing backdrop from first light. The second bedroom includes additional loft storage and beautiful natural light, while the generous lower level third bedroom has its own window seat overlooking the shoreline, creating a quiet place to read, relax or simply watch the water.

The practical side of the home has been equally well considered. There is ducted heating, an integrated office, excellent storage, a cleverly concealed workshop and internal access from the double garage. Additional parking provides room for the boat or caravan because, in a location like this, you are going to want both.

Then there is the waterfront balcony. Expansive and wonderfully connected to the bay, this is where breakfasts stretch into mornings and afternoons turn into evenings. Predominantly native gardens complement the coastal setting, while the generous block provides room for kayaks, surfboards, children, visitors and everything that comes with a life spent beside the water.

More than a quarter acre of absolute waterfront land in this position is significant in its own right. For those looking to the future, there is also potential for a secondary dwelling or villa near the entrance, subject to council approval, in a position that could allow the existing home to retain its privacy and connection with the waterfront.

But perhaps the greatest value here is much simpler because you can change a kitchenm, you can renovate a bathroom, you can add, alter and improve a home over time. What you cannot create is the position: absolute waterfront on Swanwick Bay.

You cannot manufacture the shoreline at the bottom of the garden, the sunsets across the water, the children fishing out the front, or the freedom to wander along the shoreline whenever the mood takes you.

104 Swanwick Drive has all of this and so much more. Some properties are memorable because of the house. Others are memorable because of where they are. And 104 Swanwick Drive gives you both.
