The Point Tasmania

The Point Tasmania is a private waterfront retreat and homestay on 50 acres of rugged farming land at Sandford, on the South Arm Peninsula. The house is set into a sloping site above Frederick Henry Bay, with views towards May’s Point and the surf break below. Its position provides a strong connection with the coastal landscape while remaining close to Hobart and Hobart Airport.

The surrounding property has a raw rural character. Long grass, exposed rock formations and native Tasmanian grasses shape the open setting, with very few trees across the farmland. A grass-lined driveway passes two dams before reaching the house, adding to the sense of arrival on a working rural estate. The landscape changes with the light, from early views across the bay to evening outlooks towards Mount Wellington.

The house has a contemporary architectural character, with generous proportions and a design that follows the hillside. Large outlooks draw attention to the bay, surf and open grassland, while the setting gives the accommodation a private, retreat-like atmosphere. An outdoor fire pit provides a place for guests to spend time outside while taking in the coastal surroundings and watching sea eagles above the property.

The Point suits guests looking for a design-led stay, a private rural setting or a base for exploring the South Arm Peninsula and nearby Hobart. It also works for travellers who prefer an accommodation experience centred on landscape, space and changing coastal light rather than a town-based setting. The property can be enjoyed as a base for discovering the region or as a destination in its own right, with the house, farmland and bay forming the main experience.

The location is approximately 20 minutes from Hobart Airport, making the retreat accessible for arrivals and departures while retaining a distinct country setting. The combination of open farmland, water views, contemporary architecture and outdoor space gives The Point a clear identity as a coastal accommodation retreat in Tasmania.
