6863 Channel Highway, Gardners Bay

Set on a north-facing point in Gardners Bay, where the sheltered waters of Helms Bay open toward Port Cygnet and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, this is a rare and quietly privileged waterfront setting. Sheltered from the south, drenched in sun and holding the water close like a private harbour, the position alone is exceptional. Add to this a lovingly restored Federation-era cottage, a functioning slipway now used as a boat ramp, and a private jetty with mooring in calm, protected water, and the offering becomes truly unique. The home retains the honesty and grace of its original era, with high ceilings, pressed metal details, Tasmanian oak floors and carefully chosen finishes throughout the original rooms. Extensions for modern living have been completed with restraint, echoing rather than competing with the past, resulting in a home that feels cohesive, timeless and complete. Inside, bedrooms offer the generous scale older homes do best, while character features such as leadlight, timber detailing and fireplaces are enjoyed as everyday comforts. The newer living, dining and kitchen area opens confidently toward the water, creating a warm, functional space designed for real life, conversation, quiet afternoons and ever-changing coastal views. Outdoors is where the property’s rarity truly reveals itself. A north-facing deck sits like a grandstand above the foreshore, overlooking the jetty and mooring while holding sun throughout the day. With a remote-controlled shuttered roof, low-maintenance decking, outdoor fireplace, hot tub and sauna, it feels more like a private retreat than a typical waterfront home, equally suited to summer mornings or winter gatherings. For boating enthusiasts, the infrastructure is exceptional. The original slipway remains fully functional as a private boat ramp, allowing effortless access to the water. Launch the boat, tie up at the jetty, explore the channel, kayak the shoreline or fish and swim straight from home. These are not weekend plans here, but part of daily life. The adjoining Crown-leased foreshore reserve (at minimal cost) enhances the sense of space and privacy, with lawns and gardens flowing down to the water’s edge. The presence of maritime history continues with the sculptural remains of the yacht Varg resting on the foreshore, a striking tribute to the site’s story and connection to the sea. Additional accommodation includes a separate bunkhouse-style retreat ideal for guests or family, along with a studio or workshop offering excellent flexibility for creative or storage use (buyers to make their own enquiries regarding approvals). Located just minutes from Cygnet, with its vibrant arts community, cafes and local producers, this home offers an unmistakable change of pace. Hobart remains within easy reach, yet life here is shaped by tides, light and weather, with your boat, jetty and view waiting at home. In a market where “waterfront” often means distant glimpses or compromises, this is the real thing. Properties offering this combination of position, history and genuine waterfront infrastructure are exceptionally rare — and once experienced, hard to forget.
