Straddy Island Lifestyle

Spend the day cycling, kayaking, or relaxing on the deck as wildlife wanders nearby. At sunset, head to the calm western beach (10min walk) with a fishing rod or picnic and watch the sun disappear over the water.
The next day stroll or drive to Tipplers Café and Bar for a relaxed waterfront lunch.
This property will not suit everyone - and that is part of its magic. For the right buyer, it offers a rare off-grid lifestyle rich in nature, simplicity, and character.
