139 Pirates Bay Drive Eaglehawk Neck, 7179 TAS

Twenty-five acres. Two dwellings. One boundary that never changes.

4 2 13

Twenty-Five Acres or Ten hectares of Tasman Peninsula bush rise from Pirates Bay Drive to a single cleared homestead terrace, and everything beyond the eastern boundary belongs to the Parks and Wildlife Service. No future neighbour. No future subdivision. The view you buy is the view your grandchildren inherit.

What sits in between is the real luxury. Tracks wander down through native forest into gullies where ferns hold their green through the driest weeks of summer. Come winter the gullies find their voice — small waterfalls appear where there were none in February, springs seep from the hillside, and the bush turns a deeper shade entirely. Walk it often enough and you learn its moods. The outlook shifts as you move through it: canopy, then cliff, then the long blue sweep of the bay, then sky.
You'll share it. Wedge-tailed eagles and sea eagles ride the updraughts along the coastline. Migratory birds arrive on their own schedule each year and leave again without asking permission.
This is a property in genuine harmony with what surrounds it, and the privacy that comes with twenty-five acres is the kind of property money rarely buys this close to a capital city.

The original home was built in 1987 by the owner who has a deep connection to the site of the site. Twin steep gables and vertical cladding sit above hand-laid mudstone and dolerite rock terraces, reached by a gravel drive that curls up through the gums. Inside, a 6.4 by 4.4 metre living room is anchored by a wood heater set into slate and brick, opening to a deck broader than the room itself. Three bedrooms include a full-width upper level beneath the dormers. The kitchen and dining sit adjacent, honest and original, and the plan practically draws its own renovation.
Set apart and entirely private, a second building tells a different story. Completed in 2025, it holds living space, a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and its own glass-edged deck looking out to the dolerite cliffs of the Tasman coast. It carries its own occupancy permit and operates under a Tasman Council planning permit for visitor accommodation. Somewhere to put family. Somewhere to live while the main house is reimagined. Or somewhere that quietly pays for itself.

Room to grow, in time. The homestead terrace is generous, and there is no shortage of land on which to build a family home or more income producing dwellings.
Practical matters are handled: a 50sqm garage, a nine-metre carport that swallows a boat or a van, two garden sheds, a new septic system for the new dwelling, and established gardens giving way to native bush across the balance of the holding.
Minutes from the Tessellated Pavement, the fishing at Pirates Bay, Tasman Arch and the Three Capes trailheads, ana an abundance of secret surf spots to explore. Roughly an hour from Hobart.
Land like this stopped being available a long time ago.
