This unique 200 acre bushland title set between genuine water frontages of two river estuaries one to the east and the other to the west of the property. If you enjoy Nature, fresh air, Native bird, animal and plant life and have a vision for an eco-friendly environment, look closely.

This is a property that will appeal to purchasers wishing to enjoy a natural setting without the threat of being overrun by neighbours, urban development, or having the tranquillity destroyed by hoards of seasonal tourists. It is not out of touch nor is it in danger of losing its allure.

Whether it is enjoying the sounds of the birds amongst the natural silence or enjoying the option of sun rising over the Franklin Rivulet in the morning or one of many sunsets reflecting on the waters edge of the Rubicon River in the evening. This is an opportunity to purchase a natural stand of native timber whether for preservation, a private get-away, or (STCA) to clear a small parcel for a privately located dwelling or eco-friendly guest stay cabins amongst the timbers along the waters edge and enjoy the sounds of the native birds in the trees and undergrowth where even the guests will be attracted by the level of privacy and closeness to nature.

It also encompasses a number of private walking or riding trails for leisure or recreation. While the nearby National Park is one of the most popular of Tasmania’s most popular Tourism park destinations. This area provides natural habitat to many native bird, animal and plant species including wombats, sugar gliders, wallaby, echidna, blue wrens, robins, honeyeaters, water fowl, fantails, as well as migratory birds as well as many native plant species of eucalypt native trees and grasses, perhaps the most noticeable being the very slow growing variety of Xanthorrhoea, many of which may be several hundred years old (see below).

The rate of growth of Xanthorrhoea is very slow. However, this is often generalized to mean they all grow at the rate of about an inch (2 cm) per year. Actually, after the initial establishment phase, the rate of growth varies widely from species to species. Thus, while a tall member of the fastest growing Xanthorrhoea may be 200 years old, a member of a more slowly-growing species of equal height may have aged to 600 years. The best known common name for the Xanthorrhoea is blackboy. This name refers to the purported similarity in appearance of the trunked species to an Aboriginal boy holding an upright spear.

The trees are long established natural timber. A good selection of fallen limbs are always available for firewood. The land has never been previously cleared, and while the owners used to take a few trees each year for firewood, these would be fallen or have been trees that had died or were deteriorating as a rule.

This property has been in the same family for over 60 years and it is with a sense of reluctance that it is to be sold. As mentioned this unique property provides the opportunity to enjoy the privacy and quality lifestyle without isolation.

The estuary is a popular destination for fisherman, kayak and canoe enthusiasts. There are a number of well known sites amongst fishermen for the catching of Bream, and the area of the “tongue” of land has long been used to harvest oysters commercially with numerous beds close by or in view, and a number of those still actively harvested.

It is approximately 20 to 25 minutes drive to Port Sorell or Latrobe, and only 20 to 35 minutes to East Devonport, Devonport or Deloraine. It represents a wonderful opportunity to by a blank canvas to be developed according to your vision. Some restrictions may apply to large scale clearing due to the nature of the land. Clearing of large sections of trees to create some pasture areas if required for some domestic animals would require approval under Forestry guidelines, while any domestic or potential eco-tourism style development would also be subject as is normal to Council approvals (STCA).
