This is an opportunity to purchase a natural stand of native timber whether for preservation or (STCA) to clear a small parcel for a privately located dwelling amongst the timbers and enjoy the sounds of the native birds in the trees and undergrowth. A land capability report has been completed in 2016 that confirms that a residential dwelling proposal would not result in the unnecessary conversion or permanent loss of land for primary industry use, as the land is considered unsuitable for broad scale grazing and cropping uses as is required under the current State Planning Scheme, and was commissioned by the vendor to assist in any Planning Application to be submitted to council for approval by a new owner. The plan (included in this display shows areas of land capabilities and features one site for proposed dwelling and access). There is a small stream that runs across the bottom of the property, that could possibly be dammed, or a well dug, for water usage.
The Latrobe-Sheffield railway used to run across the bottom of the block, and this foundation might provide the best road access into the block if the intention is to build and to form a lane through the property. The value of the trees alone on this title makes it a very good investment for the future for an astute purchaser even if just clearing enough for a lifestyle development to live.
Only a twenty to twenty five minute drive from Latrobe or Devonport and a couple of kilometres drive from the Railton town centre or ten minutes into Sheffield. The trees are mostly straight, long established natural timber. A good selection of limbs for firewood. Subject to Council Approval (STCA) building a new home should not be a problem.
An ideal lifestyle location so close to town, shops and local school. The title featured natural timbers not been previously cleared, and while the owners in the past utilised a few trees each year for firewood, these would be fallen naturally or have been trees that or were deteriorating. There are few properties on the outskirts of town available for purchase of this size and price bracket, with the value of natural resources of this allotment has to offer, and with land capability reports completed in support of planning approval for a potential residential development.
