Overview

183 Josephs Road, Carlton

Located at 183 Joseph's Road in Carlton, Tasmania, this expansive 100-acre vacant residential land offers a rare opportunity to own a coastal property with stunning water views just 30 minutes from Hobart. Positioned on an elevated plateau, the land captures sweeping coastal vistas while remaining conveniently close to the beach and local amenities. The property is only a short drive from popular surf breaks and local shops, providing a tranquil and relaxed environment.

The land features a mostly flat terrain combining open ground and established native bushland, making it ideal for various uses including potential building sites subject to council approval. The diverse landscape supports a wide range of native orchids, grasses, and mature trees, complemented by additional plantings such as she-oaks, banksias, and flowering gums that enhance privacy and attract abundant birdlife. Notably, a local breeding pair of Wedge Tailed Eagles and other native fauna frequent the area, enriching the natural coastal retreat ambiance.

Water resources on the property are plentiful, with natural springs, a spring-fed creek, and waterholes traversing the land. The clay base is well-suited for dam creation, offering practical benefits alongside the scenic qualities. An existing off-grid cabin, measuring 6 by 3 meters, is fully insulated and equipped with a water tank, Norwegian slow burner, new double glazing, and raised vegetable gardens. While the cabin requires some finishing, it serves as a versatile retreat or base for future development plans, compliant with council regulations.

The front paddock provides ample space for horses or small-scale rural activities, while a mix of younger and mature trees offers shelter, character, and a sustainable supply of firewood. The property's views extend across the bay and change with the light throughout the day, creating a dynamic and inspiring setting.

Strategically located, the property is just minutes from Carlton Beach and the Carlton River mouth, ideal for swimming, surfing, or paddling. Nearby Dodges Ferry offers everyday essentials, cafes, and services, while Hobart CBD is accessible within a 30 to 35-minute drive, balancing privacy with convenience. The area is known for its relaxed coastal lifestyle and strong community spirit, attracting locals, holidaymakers, and newcomers seeking space and tranquility.

Whether for building, planting, or enjoying the natural environment, this coastal land presents a unique opportunity to grow into a desirable lifestyle or investment asset within easy reach of a capital city.
