2 Corin Street, West Launceston TAS 7250

Located just minutes from Launceston’s central business district, this rare estate offers an exceptional opportunity for development or exclusive use. Spanning over 2.86 hectares (approximately 7 acres) across three titles, the land boasts a privileged location perched above the scenic South Esk River gorge.

Within this idyllic, natural sanctuary lie the bluestone foundations and a shed that hint at the site’s historical significance — a rare Victorian Italianate structure established in the 1890s with stone quarried on-site, presenting a unique foundation for potential future building.

The property's elevated position within Launceston Gorge offers both striking natural beauty and a habitat for diverse native wildlife, including species such as Fairy Wrens, Night Owls, and Peregrine Falcons. Access to nearby walking tracks and scenic lookouts provides an enjoyable outdoor lifestyle while being conveniently close to urban amenities.

This site holds not only natural appeal but also cultural heritage, notably featuring an ancient stone image of Buddha on the bordering cliffs, further enriching its distinctive character.

Historically, the residence on the property was intended for the management of the first power station of its kind in Australasia, reflecting the pioneering spirit of Launceston as the first city in Australia to publicly generate hydroelectricity in the 1890s. This makes the land of interest for those valuing historical context alongside development potential.
