Team Daniell is excited to present 252 Hastings Bay Esplanade, Hastings (Tall Trees), a rare haven set in one of the southernmost reaches of Australia. From the moment you enter the property, a sense of clarity and calmness takes over, offering a complete escape from the pace of modern life. Built with care and cherished by the family who created it, this remarkable home is designed around solar-passive principles and delivers a truly sustainable lifestyle.

Completely off grid, the property is powered by a comprehensive solar system including 12 Sonnenschein batteries, eight solar panels with backup, and a diesel generator supplying 240 volt power to the home, powerhouse, and workshop. Bottled gas supports hot water and cooking, with three internal gas points complementing the freestanding wood heater during the cooler months. The home is fully insulated, and all windows and sliding doors are double-glazed, ensuring year-round comfort.

The well appointed galley kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a generous pantry, and dual entry points for ease of use. Moving into living areas, floor to ceiling, double glazed windows and sliding doors frame breathtaking vistas across Hastings Bay, Hudson’s Point, and Pebbly Beach. These open onto a wrap around timber deck, a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the ever changing outlook.

A wide hallway leads to a second living area that could easily be adapted for additional accommodation. The main bathroom and spacious second and third bedrooms are also located on this middle level. The upper level is dedicated to the master suite, complete with a walk-in robe and an ensuite that captures yet another spectacular water view. The lower level houses the laundry, a third bathroom, and further space ready for conversion into additional living areas.

The 13 x 10 metre Colorbond workshop features a concrete floor, 240 volt power availability, a secondary laundry, bathroom facilities, multiple access points, and high clearance for larger vehicles or machinery. Additional improvements include a wood storage shed, power shed, and a metal storage container equipped with a high-quality firefighting system for peace of mind during the summer months. Undercover parking with internal access to the home is also provided at the lower level.

Set on nearly 14 acres of tall timbers, the property offers exceptional privacy and the ambient sounds of abundant birdlife. A dam, dog exercise yard with internal access, and thoughtfully cleared areas around the home enhance practical living. A registered boat ramp allows launching at any tide, while the proximity to water offers a perfect place for family enjoyment or a refreshing river swim. Evenings bring extraordinary stargazing opportunities, with the region renowned for sightings of the Aurora Australis, often sought by photographers from across the country.

Currently operating as a successful Airbnb managed by Essentially Tasmania, this property offers strong performance figures which are available upon request following the signing of a confidentiality agreement. Hastings is located just 1.5 hours south of Hobart along a scenic tourist route leading to attractions such as Hastings Caves, Southport’s pristine beach, and Australia’s southernmost pub, the Southport Tavern.

The property is offered on a walk in, walk out basis (with the tractor excluded), and the décor, linen, and kitchen facilities are all in excellent condition, perfectly complementing this exceptional residence for guests or for your own private retreat in pristine Southern Tasmania.

Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful retreat, a family getaway, or a successful holiday accommodation venture, Tall Trees offers it all. We welcome your enquiry and look forward to showing you what makes this property so truly special. Contact Team Daniell today to book in your private viewing.
