As the dappled light flickers through the silver birch trees lining the driveway, you have the feeling that there is something special to be found at the end of the road.
And that suspicion is correct.
Welcome to Bayfield, a sprawling property where lush green landscaping surrounds a beautiful family home, and where luxury living and views easily come together.
No.187 Howden Rd feels like a waterfront, with a boundary stretching all the way to Crown Land and water views never far from view.
Peterswald officer Phoebe Nothling described the setting as “spectacular”.
“It is a property that offers total tranquility,” she said.

Ms Nothling expects potential buyers will be impressed by the tranquil location offering total privacy, relaxation and easy access to the city.
“It feels like it’s a world away from city life, relaxed and serene – but you can be in Hobart in 20 minutes,” she said.
While the choice of two primary bedrooms is a luxury only offered in some homes, it is offered here.
Another impressive feature is the kitchen and dining area which extends outside on two sides, allowing residents to follow the sun or the wind depending on the day.
“French doors extending from the kitchen as the wisteria frames the views, it’s a memorable space that buyers will love,” Ms Nothing said.

“We could see a number of different buyers being attracted to this house. But the first thing that comes to mind is a family; it would be a magical family home.
“The property could be suitable for an empty nester who wants to downsize from a larger property to a hobby area.
“It could also be attractive to someone from the highway, someone traveling from a big city and looking for space, luxury, convenience and beautiful surroundings.”

Outside, the grounds are private, landscaped and immaculately maintained with extensive lawns, mature trees and manicured hedges surrounding multiple outdoor areas.
The gently sloping land leads to the water’s edge, providing multiple access points to the shoreline and sandbags.
Importantly, council-approved plans by Myles Baldwin (landscape) and Ancher Architecture Office (renovation) are guiding the sale, allowing the next custodian to further elevate Bayfield with a resort-style swimming pool and championship-sized tennis court.
Plans are available upon request.
“Although the gardens are absolutely beautiful, the current owners had plans to reinvent them,” says Mrs Nothling.
“They have thought about a swimming pool and a tennis court; there is certainly enough space to let the imagination run wild wherever you go.”
