There are water sources throughout the property from winter creeks and the more permanent Castle Forbes Rivulet forms the bottom boundary.

Tucked away up in the back hills of Castle Forbes Bay, the property gets to enjoy fantastic privacy. Along the back lane of Harwoods Road is a gated access to the property. A formed track leads to a secluded spot amongst the wattles and gums. A container here is available to stay. Consisting of one large title and another smaller one, there is also the possibility of boundary realignments to create two great titles (subject to council approvals).

There is plenty of scope here for developing your new home (stca), with multiple areas to choose from depending on what you have imagined your new home would be like. There is space for a large home, sheds, gardens, fruit trees and veggie patches.

Consisting of pastures, with an array of wattles and scattered gums form most of the top section. There are large sections cleared and the ability to quickly create further usable land.

There are even sandstone footings from an old ruin.

Down in the valley below, the road takes you through mature gum forests and then past heritage homes and orchards, finally down to the Huon River Estuary.

Also nearby here is Port Huon, where you can have a drink and a meal at the Kermandie River Hotel. There is a marina and an indoor sports centre complete with indoor heated pool.

Slightly further on is Geeveston, a classic country town with plenty of charm. There are great eateries, IGA supermarket and even a wine bar and incredible sushi. The other direction leads to Franklin, an historic town that lines the shores of the river with more eateries. The main hub of the Huon Valley is within a 20 minutes drive. Here there are all your country town shops and services including a Woolies.

Feel removed and private on your own 64 acres, high up on the plateau in the hills and yet remain connected to services and the good life when it suites you. All this around 50 minutes to Hobart.
