Elders in conjunction with Sotheby's International Realty offer to the market this outstanding and rare opportunity for a buyer to secure a private island retreat for personal use, or a tourism operator to build upon a highly regarded exclusive guest experience.
Picnic Island is an exclusive private island that lies 800 metres offshore on Tasmania's prized Freycinet Peninsula and boasts unsurpassed views of the stunning Hazards Mountain Range, behind which sits the world-renowned Wineglass Bay. Adjacent to the award-winning Saffire luxury resort, the island houses its own private jetty and is easily accessible via a short boat ride.
One of only a handful of Australia's private freehold islands, and one of few with permits for commercial use, the island offers prospective owners and guests alike the opportunity to embrace the true island experience. With 360-degree water views, the island currently offers an exclusive guest accommodation experience for up to 10 guests and is highly regarded with 5-star guest ratings across multiple platforms.
Spanning an approximate 6753 square metres, Picnic Island is titled to the high-water mark with no crown land, a rarity for an island in Tasmania. Significant works have been undertaken on the island with all necessary approvals, and in place is a desalination plant, solar hot water system, off-grid solar power with backup generation, and water tanks with totaling over 50,000 litres worth of storage.
Picnic Island is home to native wildlife including a penguin colony and shearwaters, as well an abundance of seafood crayfish, abalone, mussels, squid and flathead can all be caught off the island, which can be explored on foot via a network of boardwalks.
