Under Contract - When it comes to opportunity, with a view to the future, with a view to lifestyle, with a view to the coast, with a view of the mountains, with a view over farmland, with views as far as you can see for 360° - all directions, this 26 1/4 acre (10.62 hectare) property can provide it all. This property is all about the views, and what you can envisage from and all around the property. There are very few properties available that can provide such a vantage point. From the property you have direct view of Bass Strait to the North over the farmlands in between; Cradle Mountain to the South over the hinterlands from farm to native bush, Mount Roland, Van Dyke and Mount Claude to the East; Bell Mountain, Black Bluff and the Dial Ranges to the West to name just the most prominent peaks. It would be highly unusual of us to use wide angle, panorama or zoom photography in our marketing presentations, in fact we frown upon it; however, as a first, examples of the views are exaggerated in some of the photos (and are clearly marked zoom) as we are sure that any new owner marvelling at the views would have cause to use a telescope, binoculars, paintbrush or camera to capture the natural wonders on offer. So on this occasion we will open you up to these wonders and let them do the talking.
This rural resource property has previously been D.A. approved (2018) for building a residence (since expired) however is a precedent and could form the basis of a renewed application. A new owner may wish to vary the details and location in a renewed application to suit their vision for the property. The property has so many locations that could be designated as potential sites for home(s)/cabins (STCA) depending on a new owners intentions whether a glorious view all private hilltop retreat or a series of "highland" cabins to establish a guest accommodation business. Given the topography and aspects of the property it would also be ideal for off the grid living for any combination of solar and wind generated power options; while mains power is already readily available at the road frontage of the property. The timber company have previously expressed a willingness to revoke a portion of the plantation if the owners wished to establish a dwelling. The contract with Forestry Tasmania spans 2008 to 2033, however F.T. have advised harvest in three years with no replant scheduled.
The property boundary is fully fenced with the exception of a small section of road frontage, there are no internal fences at present other than the area previously designated for establishing a residence, and a lichen covered stone feature wall in the heart of the property. Any livestock currently grazed on the property are controlled by temporary electric fencing while the property is still planted to timber. Approximately 8 hectares of the property is under Blue-gum timber plantation, and the vendors have advised that it is intended to be harvested in three (3) years time. The property has a healthy coverage of grass and clover interspersed with the plantation timber from its previous farming use and currently provides grazing among the sheltered meadows not planted and between the trees. A spring fed dam provides stock water at the heart of the property, and almost all of the surrounding properties have a combination of spring fed water supply and bores providing wonderful pristine potable waters for stock and domestic use, this property would be no exception. The landholding is classified Land Capability 5 for agricultural use and therefore makes support for use and approvals other than mainstream farming use more accessible due to restrictions of topography, soil type, stone content, climate influences, natural restrictions to use of machinery etc.
