Tasmanian Island Paradise: A Rare Opportunity

The dream of having an entire island to yourself—a private retreat surrounded by unspoiled natural beauty—is made real with the extraordinary opportunity to secure Vansittart Island.

Largely untouched yet thoughtfully enhanced, this exceptional island sanctuary features a charming three-bedroom cottage, an expansive entertaining deck, and a private jetty. From every vantage point, Vansittart offers awe-inspiring scenery and a profound sense of tranquillity.

Positioned on Gun Carriage Hill, the cottage commands sweeping views westward across Franklin Sound, north to Lady Barron and Flinders Island—including the iconic Mount Strzelecki—and south to the dramatic Cape Barren Island is only 7km away, flanked by the islets of Franklin Sound. The panoramic vistas are simply breathtaking, while the serene atmosphere invites a deeper connection with nature.

The elevated cottage offers captivating views of both land and sea, with the deck providing an idyllic setting for evenings by firelight, immersed in the island’s peaceful rhythms.

Comprising approximately 502 acres of Freehold title, with the remainder held in exclusive Leasehold Interest with the Crown of a further 850 acres, Vansittart Island is a truly unique holding. Its allure is further enriched by a remarkable array of bird-life—including Quail, Wedge-tail Eagles, and Cape Barren Geese—and a rich history marked by the 1912 shipwreck of the Farsund, a legacy of its seafaring past.

This is more than a property—it is an experience. A place of solitude, splendour, and natural wonder, where first impressions lead to unforgettable memories, and if you’re a surfer, consider Vansittart Island your own amazing private surfing backyard.

Vansittart Island. See it. Believe it. You may never want to leave.
