6 Wisbys Road North Bruny TAS 7150

Perched high above Quarantine Bay and bathed in all-day sun, this private Bruny Island retreat delivers relaxing water and mountain views, complete tranquillity, and a rare connection to nature. Designed for Tasmania's climate and wrapped in warmth and light, this much-loved alpine-inspired home is an idyllic island escape just minutes from the shoreline.

There is a quiet sense of arrival the moment you reach this elevated sanctuary. Sitting proudly, on gently sloping land, the home looks out across the ever-changing waters of Quarantine Bay, with mountain silhouettes forming a dramatic natural backdrop. Here, life slows, the air feels cleaner, and the distractions of the outside world gently fall away.

Inspired by the timeless comfort of an American alpine ski lodge, the home was purpose-built for Tasmania's climate. Extra insulation throughout creates a warm, cosy haven even on the wildest winter days, while sweeping picture windows invite you to sit with a cuppa and watch storms roll across the bay, light dance on the water, and sunsets paint the sky in spectacular colour.

The open plan living and dining areas are filled with natural light and warmth, enhanced by raked ceilings, Tasmanian Oak architraves, staircase and balustrades, and the comforting glow of the efficient Merlin wood heater. Glass sliders frame the outlook and open onto the generous timber deck, the perfect place to entertain, unwind, or simply breathe in the fresh sea air.

The master bedroom enjoys sweeping water views, while the upstairs layout also includes the convenience of a second living space and second toilet. A spacious, well-appointed kitchen with ample storage flows seamlessly into the living spaces, making everyday living and hosting guests effortless.

This is a home designed for deep relaxation and reconnection with nature. As the sun sets, wallabies quietly graze in the nearby paddocks while an extraordinary chorus of native Australian birds mark the evening. At night, the only sounds are the breeze, the wildlife, and the gentle rhythms of island life, with quolls and wallabies your nocturnal neighbours. The property offers cleared, usable land with perimeter fencing, native blue gum plantings, two 10,000L rainwater storage tanks, and a wonderful sense of space.

Less than 400 metres away, the shoreline of Quarantine Bay invites daily adventure. Spend your mornings kayaking alongside stingrays, seals, and snorkel with parrot fish and octopus; or drop a fishing line from your kayak, dinghy or the jetty and bring home flathead for dinner. Marks Point Reserve is just moments away, offering bushwalking trails and a rocky foreshore rich with Tasmanian history, sea glass, vintage crockery and washed-up treasures hinting at sailors and stories from long ago.

The jetty at Quarantine Bay provides easy access for kayaking and exploration, while Tasmania's Parks and Wildlife team carefully maintains this special corner of the island. Under 20 minutes from the Bruny Island ferry terminal, and with Hobart only a further 30 minutes from Kettering, this property balances seclusion with convenience.

Nebraska Beach's pristine white sands and the village of Dennes Point, with its café, gallery and jetty, are close by, offering relaxed island outings whenever the mood strikes.6 Wisby's Road is more than a home. It is a place for imagination, creation and restoration, a rare opportunity to own a private window into Tasmania's natural beauty and history.

Whether as a permanent escape, a cherished holiday retreat, or a legacy island home, this is Bruny Island living at its most authentic and inspiring. For further details or to arrange your private inspection, contact Laureen Wood, island resident and local real estate specialist, on 0409 680 822.
