Offers over $749,000
At the very end of Nichols Road, where the Southern Midlands meets the Central Highlands, lies a property where the pace changes almost as soon as you arrive.
Set across two titles comprising approximately 25.39 hectares or 62.7 acres, this remarkable Elderslie holding combines a character filled timber home, substantial native bushland and a genuine sense of seclusion. Interestingly, one title sits within the Southern Midlands municipality and the other within Central Highlands.
Once through the electric entrance gates, the private driveway meanders alongside the creek, with the elevated timber home already visible through its bushland setting above. The driveway gradually climbs towards the residence, creating a wonderful sense of arrival. As the last property on the road, there is an immediate feeling that you have left the outside world behind.
Built in 1988, the timber home sits within an approximately four acre cleared area, which is not under the conservation covenant. The home offers three bedrooms with a relaxed country feel. Double glazed windows have been added over time, framing the surrounding landscape and making the natural setting apparent from almost every room.
At the heart of the home is an inviting open plan living and dining area, warmed by a wood fireplace and complemented by a floor mounted reverse cycle heat pump. A heat transfer system carries warmth through to the bedroom zone, adding another layer of comfort through Tasmania's cooler months.
The quaint kitchen has a personality of its own, with a servery window opening directly to the main living area. Timber floors, slate tiles and hybrid flooring through the bedrooms continue the home's practical country character, while the separate mudroom provides a natural transition between indoors and out.
From the living area, the covered patio provides a sheltered place to sit back and take in the setting, while a separate deck extends from the mudroom. Morning coffee comes with birdsong, evenings can be spent beside the fire and the outlook is dominated by bush rather than neighbouring rooftops.
Beyond the home, this is land to experience rather than simply admire.
With more than 60 acres surrounding you, there is an invitation to explore and discover. Follow the creek, wander through the native forest and woodland or make your way towards the higher reaches of the holding and discover another perspective altogether.
Adding to the property's versatility, off road access extends towards the top of the hill from both titles, opening up further opportunities to explore the landscape and appreciate just how substantial this holding really is.
The natural environment provides habitat for an array of Tasmanian wildlife and birdlife, with wombats, echidnas, kangaroos and wallabies forming part of the broader bushland experience. The conservation documentation also records the Tasmanian devil on the land.
A Nature Conservation Plan and conservation covenant apply to the property, helping preserve the natural values that make this environment so distinctive. The documentation identifies several native vegetation communities and threatened or priority species, including Mountain mirbelia, a vulnerable Tasmanian flora species associated with the Elderslie area.
Practical country living has also been considered, with an approximately 22,700 litre water tank, two garages and an additional powered shed. One garage includes an electric roller door, providing useful space for vehicles, equipment, storage or a workshop.
For all its wonderful seclusion, the property remains surprisingly connected, with Kempton and Brighton providing convenient options for everyday services and supplies, and Hobart approximately 50 minutes away. It is a rare balance of genuine privacy and space without completely disconnecting from the city.
