Anne and Rohan Boman, who are originally from Queensland, spent many years living in Sydney and overseas but decided to settle in Tasmania on their return.

• “We were looking at where we’d like to live when we came home and Tasmania was on my husband’s radar,” says Anne.
• “We saw this place and it was everything I could ask for.”

They bought the property in 2007 and have lived here since 2009. Anne says she loves the change of seasons and her beautiful garden, with the home set on almost 4ha. She also loves the fact it’s just 30 minutes from Hobart.

• The main house was built around 1905 and has pretty bay windows, high ceilings and original fireplaces. A wraparound veranda is perfect for entertaining and yacht gazing. There are four bedrooms, the master with water views.
• There is a barn on the property that dates from 1894 and has been renovated to include an airy loft that can be used as a teenager’s retreat or studio. There is also a self-contained cottage.
• Anne says the family goes kayaking and enjoys walking into the nearby village of Woodbridge, which is home to the famed Peppermint Bay Hotel.
• They keep sheep and chickens on the property, which she says has been wonderful for her growing children. With the children now older, it’s time for a new adventure.

Birchs Bay is in southeast Tasmania, 30 minutes from Hobart, overlooking Bruny Island.
