“Nala Pakana”, a homesteaders paradise is a truly unique off-grid, permaculture inspired slice of remote living heaven. If you love living in absolute privacy, if you love living in endangered swift parrot habitat with gums that have been there for a few hundred years, if you love big skies, clear air, peace and quiet and you see yourself as a conservationist, then Nala Pakana could be the place for you? So very much work has gone into creating what Nala Pakana is today, however it is just a start, you can take it to the next level.
The driveway is long, and beautifully lit with dappled light all year round. Once you arrive you at the house you are immediately met with a sense of calm and tranquility. You have stepped into another world, one that is slower, natural and breathtakingly beautiful. A lovely two bedroom treehouse built with wood off the property 45 years ago, the Huon River estuary on one side and Bruny Island on the other. The home sits at the edge of an established food forest. The view west is a stunning panoramic water view where you will watch Wedge Tailed Eagles soar from your own veranda perched high up the hill, not another soul in sight. An expanse of water glitters, and at night it’s a star gazers heaven in all directions.

The 32 hectare (79 acre) property is predominately untouched native bush with enough space cleared around the home for extensive gardens, bushfire protection and safety from falling tree limbs.

Located 20 minutes’ drive from the township of Cygnet and a bit over an hour from Hobart, Nala Pakana is on the one hand remote and private and yet still close enough to the shops, library, thriving community scene, local markets, schools and more you will find in Cygnet.

Currently advertised on ‘Hipcamp’, you will find established gardens with a terrific greenhouse, citrus grove, vegetable beds and fruit trees. The vegetable beds have been carved out of the ground and are full of very good soil that has lovingly developed by the current custodians over the previous decades. A vintage caravan which is currently used by Hipcampers and guests is cosy and clean, you can sit on the little covered deck enjoying a cuppa, meditation or writing time in purely natural surrounds.
Your chooks will love the big, insulated coop that opens into a huge area of garden for them to free-range. The yard is fully fenced which keeps dogs in and wildlife out, there is a small goat paddock with shelter and what may only be described as the Taj Mahal of bunny castles. There is plenty of clean, weather proof storage space, and the bonus of the garage/carport offers plenty of storage for all the materials you will need living an authentic bush life.

Power is provided by an off-grid system using solar with battery backups and generator. The system provides enough power for lighting, a fridge, a chest freezer, washing machine, water pump and endless charging of your devices and the running of computers.

Are you looking to work from home on ‘the net’? Nala Pakana has wonderful internet connection which easily works at a good speed all day long.

The property has plenty of tank capacity (approx. 65,000 litres) and 2 dams which provide all the water you need for your family, gardens, animals and guests.

This captivating property caters perfectly for someone looking for a hobby farm, retreat style tourism or personal health style business. It will be highly favoured by anyone looking for a holistic lifestyle as there has never been any man-made chemicals used at Nala Pakana.
