Best Offer Over $795,000

Climbing up a long winding driveway dotted with majestic tree ferns and soaring gum trees, you arrive at a hidden sanctuary where the only sounds are birdsong and the rustle of native forest. Elevated high above the surrounding landscape a remarkable 18-acre (approx. 7.2ha) property captures breathtaking water and valley views that make you feel truly on top of the world.

Surrounded by pristine Tasmanian bushland, the property offers a rare sense of privacy and immersion in nature, yet remains just 30 minutes from Hobart and approximately 20 minutes from Kingston.

The brick veneer home is warm, welcoming and filled with natural light. A spacious open-plan living area is centred around a cosy fireplace, while a large bay window frames the spectacular outlook. The stylish new kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, making everyday living and entertaining effortless.

Accommodation includes three generous bedrooms, two with built-in robes, alongside a modern bathroom and separate toilet. A versatile loft space adds flexibility and could easily serve as a rumpus room, creative studio, or peaceful home office surrounded by nature.

Adding further character to the property is a unique two-storey log cabin, hand-built in 1979 using timber sourced directly from the land. Tucked privately among the trees and already connected to power, water and NBN, it presents an exciting opportunity to create a truely unique guest accommodation (STCA), an artist's retreat, or a secluded hideaway.

Large sheds and workshops provide ample opportunity to realise the potential for hobbyists, creative pursuits, small business ventures or extensive storage.

Importantly, the land itself is beautifully low maintenance. Almost 18 acres of pristine native forest provide total privacy and natural beauty without the demands of traditional farmland, allowing you to simply enjoy the landscape as it was meant to be.

This is a property for those seeking space, peace and a deeper connection to nature - a place where you can truly slow down, breathe deeply and feel a world away, while still remaining within easy reach of the city.

Given the scale of the property and its range of outbuildings, inspections are available by private appointment only. Opportunities to secure a private bushland sanctuary like this so close to Hobart are rarely available - contact Jodie today to arrange your private viewing.
