If you're looking for a well-priced private houseboat in good condition, offering the flexibility to enjoy weekends and holidays on the river or potentially embrace the houseboat lifestyle as a permanent liveaboard, then Free Spirit is certainly worthy of your inspection.
At 15.2 metres in length, Free Spirit offers plenty of room for family and friends while still providing a practical and manageable platform for enjoying extended stays on the river.
Built in 1997, Free Spirit features timber frame and aluminium construction, complemented by a glass-over-ply roof. The vessel has been improved with the addition of a full ceiling-to-floor glass frontage across the forward helm area, allowing plenty of natural light into the boat and providing an enjoyable outlook while underway.
A feature of Free Spirit is the clever positioning of the main living and entertaining area at the rear of the vessel, making the most of the surrounding river views. The open-plan layout incorporates modular lounge seating, a dining area and kitchen, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is suited to longer stays on the river, offering a full gas oven, large fridge/freezer, microwave, under-bench and overhead storage, plus a distinctive free standing island bench incorporating a wine rack.
The living area provides carpet, while the kitchen zone has practical timber-look flooring. A Toshiba split-system air conditioner makes the main living space enjoyable throughout the seasons.
From the rear living area, sliding door access leads directly onto the rear deck, creating a natural extension of the indoor living space. Whether you're entertaining a small gathering of family and friends, enjoying a morning coffee while watching the river drift by, or simply settling in for a lazy afternoon, this is a great outdoor space.
Free Spirit comfortably accommodates up to six guests and provides three, carpeted bedrooms. There are two double bedrooms, both with sliding-door access to the outside deck. A third bedroom provides single bunks making the layout particularly practical for families or visiting guests.
The bathroom is well appointed with a shower, vanity with storage and full-flush toilet.
Take the entertaining outdoors and head to the top deck, which provides a fantastic area to relax, socialise and enjoy the surrounding river environment. With a hard bimini cover providing protection from the elements, the top deck can be enjoyed in a variety of weather conditions and is an ideal space for family and friends to gather.
Powering Free Spirit is a Mariner 75 horsepower outboard, which has accumulated approximately 2,300 hours. For additional power the vessel is equipped with a Honda petrol generator, providing a practical backup or supplementary power source.
The sale also includes a small dinghy with a brand-new 5 horsepower Yamaha outboard motor - ideal for getting ashore, exploring the river's smaller waterways or simply having a little extra fun on the water.
