The Point sits on its own private estate (or farmland!) of fifty acres. The house is nestled thoughtfully into the hill overlooking the bay and the surf below.
The Point has been farming land for generations. There are two dams on the property next to The Points long grassed lined driveway.
The land has been extensively farmed over the years and subsequently there are very few trees on the land surrounding The Point. It is surrounded by beautiful Tasmanian grasses such as the Poa Grass, giving it a rugged barren feel, adding to its raw beauty.
