Buttons By The Beach (King Island coastal retreat) | House in Bungaree
4 Bedroom House in Bungaree
Situated on 32 acres of oceanfront property on the west coast of King Island, Buttons by the Beach is a secluded, sustainable and fully off-grid beach house with uninterrupted views of the Southern Ocean and rugged coastline from almost every room. Sleeping up to seven guests, Buttons features a fully equipped entertainer’s kitchen, a free-weights gym, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a quiet office. This coastal retreat offers all the modern comforts, while feeling a world away.
The house has two outdoor entertaining areas: one facing north overlooking the ocean and one indoors which is protected from the elements and complete with large dining table, fireplace, BBQ and vegetable/herb garden (season-dependent). The open-plan kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for entertaining and the pantry is well-stocked with essentials (cereal, spreads, pasta, sauces, oils etc). A mini-barista coffee machine, toaster, blender are provided for convenience. The dining table seats eight and has hosted many gatherings among friends.
At the heart of the home, you'll find the warm and inviting living area, offering awe-inspiring views of King Island's rugged west coast and the untamed beauty of the Southern Ocean. With the waves rolling in, no day or hour is ever the same; some days it’s calm and flat like a lake and other days the roaring 40’s makes it one of the most treacherous seas on the planet. The indoor fireplace is as rustic as it gets; as the logs crackle in the evening, you'll discover a sense of unparalleled relaxation. Cosy up in a snug blanket, with a glass of wine and a King Island dairy cheese platter, all while indulging in a movie - an experience that promises pure delight.
All three bedrooms have views of the ocean and high quality bedding is provided. The quiet office has a futon sofa bed which can accommodate an additional guest (which can be made up on request at no additional charge).
The gym in the garage is available for those who want to get their sweat on during their stay. There is a squat rack, competition barbell, Olympic weight plates, inclined bench, TRX suspension, stretch bands, dumbbells, plyo box, kettlebells, shakti mat, yoga mats, skipping ropes, battle ropes and more. Beach towels, fishing rods, a beach tent and 2 surfboards are also available for guests’ enjoyment at the beach.
Buttons by the Beach is 100% off-grid and has zero reliance on mains infrastructure. The house uses a combination of solar and wind to generate power which is stored in high-grade gel batteries. The house faces north to optimise solar power generation. Water is supplied from two sources: a natural spring 500m away and a rainwater tank. Natural gas heats hot water and the oven/stove. The system has been meticulously thought-out and designed for a low-touch and automated home system that requires minimal human involvement. Although off-grid, the modern comforts of living are available – reliable telstra phone reception, fast starlink internet, Apple TV, Netflix, Kayo and Binge.
This beautiful property stretches down to the water’s edge and encompasses 600m of coastline. With direct access to the beach from the property, it’s only a short walk on a designated walking track to cool-off (or brave the cold!). Along the coastline there are plentiful abalones and crayfish waiting to be caught and served up for your next meal (please be aware that a valid Tasmanian recreational sea fishing license is required which can be obtained online or from the local council building in Currie).
Buttons by the Beach has everything you need to retreat from the world, entertain with friends and relax in this special part of Australia. We look forward to welcoming you to Buttons By the Beach on the edge of the island - and the edge of the world.
