Straight out of Harry Potter: Tassie’s ‘The Burrow’ offers spell-binding views
Perched on a scenic hillside in Tasmania, this quirky one-bedroom retreat looks like it was plucked straight from the pages of Harry Potter.
With its rustic charm and whimsical design, this one-bedroom property at 303 Kregors Road in the seaside hamlet of Gordon could easily pass as ‘The Burrow’ – the beloved home of the Weasley family.

Located just a 50-minute drive south of Hobart along the picturesque Channel Highway, the property is a secret hideaway with one of the most magical views in the area.
The property consists of two main dwellings: a timber cabin housing the living area and bedroom, and a well-appointed caravan that serves as the kitchen and dining space. The two structures are connected by a sheltered timber deck, creating a unique and cosy layout and the ideal spot to hand-feed the wallabies from.

Inside, the home mirrors the warmth of the Weasleys’ Burrow, with vibrantly painted walls, a crackling fireplace, and an array of nooks – perfect for whispered conversations about ‘You Know Who’.

But it’s the breathtaking views that truly steal the show. The property boasts uninterrupted vistas over the d’Entrecasteaux Channel, stretching across Bruny Island and the far reaches of the Tasman Peninsula before meeting the endless horizon of the Tasman Sea.

“There’s this sense of calm up there – it offers an escape from everything in the world currently going on,” said Rorie M Auld of Elders Real Estate, Hobart.
“Personally, I’m just running around all the time looking at a lot of properties, but when I drove up there and felt this immediate relaxation take over my body, I knew it was a special place and especially for someone in my position who looks at a lot of beautiful properties every day.”

This home is ideal for those who embrace sustainable, off-grid living. It features a composting toilet, an outdoor wood-heated bath, and an abundant, fully enclosed vegetable and fruit garden – meticulously maintained by one of the current owners, a professional gardener.
A stone and glass greenhouse allows for winter cultivation and seed raising, while solar panels, batteries, and a rainwater tank provide self-sufficiency. A telephone landline ensures reliable internet connectivity.

For those dreaming of building their own magical hideaway, the property includes a designated building site with approved plans and permits for a sustainable off-grid stone, glass, and timber home which Mr Auld said is a difficult process in itself.

“Getting these permits is very arduous in Tasmania and the current owners started this process in 2018 to get to where they are now. It’s a reluctant sale for them, but their circumstances just changed.”

A collection of construction materials, including premium timber, is also available for an immediate build and being sold with the property at the buyer’s request.
“There’s tons and tons of timber that they’ve collected and milled. It’s not in the purchase price because it’s worth a fair bit, but it’s available for the next buyer to use if they like,” said Mr Auld.

No need for long-distance broom travel – convenience is just around the corner. The Middleton General Store is only a 10-minute drive away for essentials, while the nearby Gordon Jetty and boat ramp offer easy access to the water.
