Notes
- Oysterhouse is set on an old railway line that was built in 1892 and operated as a cargo and passenger train from Sorell to Bellerive until 1926. This property was one of the picnic spots from Hobart on that railway line (called Shark Point). A large part of the driveway is made up of that railway line. You will observe the railway cutting as you enter the gate and approach the house.

Why Nigel Hewitt chose Southern Tasmania
The property offers tranquility and absolute privacy right on the water. Yet, within ten minutes you can access all shopping requirements. The airport is 10 to 15 minutes away and Hobart city 25 minutes. But when you arrive at Oysterhouse you are very likely to feel inclined just to stay and enjoy everything the property has to offer.
What makes this house unique
You have a magnificent, uninterrupted water views and your own private access to Pittwater where the fishing is fabulous. Predominantly Flathead are caught but there are many other species dependent on conditions. There are two kayaks for your use. The privacy at Oysterhouse is absolute. Caretakers live 250m up the driveway if you need any assistance. The kitchen is very well equipped with steam oven, convection oven and standard oven. The main bedroom has a luxurious king bed where you can relax and enjoy looking out over the water. we could go on!
