4167 Channel Highway, Middleton, Tas 7163

There is something undeniably magical about life on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel.  The stillness of golden mornings as the water catches first light, the calm of long afternoons watching the tide roll gently toward Bruny Island, and the feeling that the world slows down entirely the moment you arrive home. 

Set across more than six hectares of breathtaking coastal landscape, this is a property that offers not simply a home, but an extraordinary way of living, private, peaceful and deeply connected to its surroundings. 

The arrival to the home is unforgettable. Beyond the gates, a long driveway lined with Himalayan Birch trees unfolds gently through the landscape, setting the tone for what lies beyond. There is an immediate sense of serenity at 4167 Channel Highway, a stillness grounded in nature accompanied by the soft sounds of the nearby water and the unseen chorus of birds.

Positioned to embrace its spectacular setting, the residence captures sweeping views across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel from almost every room.  Designed with a subtle French influence, the home is timeless, understated and beautiful. Natural light pours through French doors and windows, drawing the gardens and water views into the heart of the home. 

The living spaces open effortlessly onto the sun-drenched terrace, creating an ideal setting  for slow lunches, shared wine, and evenings that stretch long after sunset. Whether entertaining friends and family or simply enjoying the silence, every part of the home feels connected to the landscape beyond it. 

The gardens are exceptional, thoughtfully curated by the current owners over time, they move between formal hedging, ornamental plantings and productive kitchen gardens. Established deciduous trees, fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, berries and flowering borders create beauty at every turn.

The garden hosts a diversity of birds:  brilliant red robins and fairy wrens of startling blue are common. Predator birdlife includes the seasonal appearance of the white goshawk, the world's only pure white bird of prey, as well as wedge-tailed and sea eagles.  Also making a seasonal appearance is the resident echidna awaking from his winter hibernation to meander contentedly across the whole property.

Pathways invite wandering to the water's edge, ideal for launching kayaks, casting a line, simply sitting quietly, or watching the passage of diverse marine vessels. The Channel constantly shifts through changing light and weather, mesmerising, soothing.  It is the kind of environment that becomes part of daily life, restorative, grounding and endlessly inspiring.

Located within the tightly held coastal enclave of Middleton, a short drive to Kingston and Hobart, the property is surrounded by some of Southern Tasmania's most celebrated scenery  with much to experience.  Wineries, gin distilleries, cheeseries, flower farms and an abundance of farm-gate produce delight the senses. Peppermint Bay, Kettering Marina and the car ferry to Bruny Island are just minutes away and allow easy access to further explore this amazing area.

It's just magical.
