PROPERTY SUMMARY
Property Talk
Positioned on a generous corner allotment directly opposite the Derwent River, this brick residence known as Highbanks offers a rare combination of water outlook, established character, and genuine scale that is increasingly hard to find so close to Hobart. From its elevated position, directly across the road from the water, the home enjoys sweeping views to the brand new Bridgewater Bridge, the surrounding hills and the open rural land that lines this scenic stretch of the river.
The home offers a flexible layout with three bedrooms, two of which include built in wardrobes, along with a central bathroom and light filled living and dining areas that make the most of the water outlook through wide picture windows. A freestanding wood heater brings warmth and character to the main living space, complemented by a reverse cycle heat pump for comfort throughout the seasons. The kitchen is well appointed with generous cabinetry and quality appliances, while a functional laundry with, second toilet, twin tubs and easy outdoor access rounds out the practical side of the home.
What truly sets this property apart is the sheer scale of the outdoor space. A wide, flat lawn stretches across the rear of the block, offering room to move, entertain, or simply enjoy the outlook. For those needing space for vehicles, boats, or a workshop, the property delivers in spades, with a separate carport plus a substantial shed and garage complex spanning several bays, complete with power connected and plenty of room for tools, trailers, or a project car. With generous internal living and a further 114 square metres of outbuildings, there is no shortage of storage or space to spread out.
Positioned on the corner where the highway curves along the water’s edge, the home enjoys excellent street presence while remaining only a short drive from New Norfolk, Granton’s local amenities, and the greater Hobart region. Whether you are a downsizer chasing an easy care block with a view, a family wanting room to grow, or a buyer seeking a property with genuine workshop and storage potential, “Highbanks” presents an outstanding opportunity in one of the river’s most scenic pockets.
