Property Description
‘Cooma House’ – nestled gently into its surrounding landscape and only minutes’ walk from the clear blue waters of the Bass Strait on the largest of Tasmania’s Furneaux Group of Islands – the stunning Flinders Island – represents an outstanding opportunity to purchase an exceptionally private and well-appointed island holding, complete with accommodation / tourism / culinary venture / art retreat / wellness retreat or any manner of tourism opportunity that this secluded and pristine part of the world would be absolutely perfectly suited for.
Set on approximately 10 acres of undulating gardens and native bushland, this bespoke holding boasts an extensively expanded and updated 1980’s architect designed main building with 7 large and bright bedrooms, each with their own private ensuite, a welcoming and fully functioning commercial kitchen with all one could desire either for professional or private family use. Cooma House offers the perfect opportunity for entertaining large gatherings of family and friends or guests for perhaps cooking classes, art, yoga groups or any manner of other creative pursuits, in peaceful yet inspiring surrounds. Large open plan dining and living zones open out onto a Mediterranean style terrace perfect for outdoor entertaining with large groups. Two further areas of note for tourism based ventures include a library on the ground level and kitchenette sitting area to the upper level. A fully fitted commercial laundry, office/study and an abundance of storage space complete this well-appointed property.
A gorgeous storage space formed from a repurposed concrete water tank, 2 further large sheds to the rear of the main house provide ample storage, undercover parking and more. Solar power, 2 dams and an abundance of water storage complete a holding with almost an oversupply of infrastructure.
The gardens at ‘Cooma House’ flow in a natural bushland style throughout the property and include a large walled vegetable garden, easily capable of providing enough produce for a large number of guests, a delightful labyrinth, areas of quiet contemplation alongside seasonal plantings and open grassed lawns.
Flinders Island is an almost undiscovered gem with an eclectic and artisan population sharing this beautiful island with abundant wildlife and native flora. The island boasts galleries, vineyard, distillery, restaurants, bar, bakeries and much more, all sitting within a landscape of picturesque mountains including the Strzelecki National Park, stunning beaches, spectacular rock formations and wide-open spaces. Fishing, bushwalking, golf, island tourism, local honey, scallops, quail, crayfish, duck and so much more, make this a place like no other.
‘Cooma House’ – Flinders Island – provides the perfect ‘escape from it all’ island lifestyle opportunity for those craving privacy and seclusion but wanting the space and infrastructure to entertain large groups of family and friends in relaxed style or as an equally private and exclusive boutique holiday / tourism venture, with the property offering an already functioning accommodation venture known as ‘Flinders Island Retreat’ having hosted numerous workshops, cooking schools, bird watching groups, fully catered conferences and live-in artists groups.
