Overview
Set on a vast 7.461-hectare plot of native bushland, this charming 1950s cottage offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace a tranquil lifestyle immersed in nature while being within accessible reach of Hobart’s CBD. The property’s generous land mass invites those who value privacy and space, with natural surroundings of established eucalypts creating a serene backdrop.
The home itself blends character with comfort, featuring two bedrooms and a bright living room that channels natural sunlight throughout the day. The spacious country-style kitchen and central bathroom serve practical daily needs while retaining the warmth and appeal of original 1950s features. The interior offers scope for future personalisation, allowing new owners to update the property over time while maintaining its welcoming atmosphere.
Outdoors, the property becomes a haven for nature lovers and hobbyists alike. A spring-fed dam ensures a reliable water source year-round, supporting the thriving ecosystem of native flora and fauna. A shipping container with an adjacent shelter provides flexible space suitable for storage or as a workshop, while open clearings offer room for potential enhancements, recreational activities, or small-scale farming pursuits.
Although vehicle access is currently subject to a third-party occupation licence and road reservation matters, the City of Hobart has indicated a potential pathway for future access through a compliant driveway design. Prospective owners should independently verify access arrangements, emphasizing due diligence.
This unique property will appeal to those seeking a permanent tree change, weekend retreat, or lifestyle block combining privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to urban amenities. It offers a quiet escape from city life where one can slow down, connect with the environment, and enjoy spectacular views towards kunanyi / Mount Wellington through all seasons.
