Based on 15 hectares of natural beauty about 4 acres cleared and the rest natural rainforest with astonishing ocean views and located right next door to everything Tasmania’s rugged coastline has to offer, Wielangta (pronounced Why-lang’-ta meaning the land of tall trees) could be the perfect getaway, combined holiday house/vacation rental, or permanent home for you and your family, just 50 minutes from the Hobart yet light years away.

Wielangta is a 3-bedroom, 3-level, 175m2 architecturally stunning home. Surrounded by trees, wildlife and those ocean views, this home is tranquillity at its best. The home features 97m2 of wrap-around decks across 2 levels, looking down through the valley on the property and showing off Tasmania’s beautiful coastline and dense forests. Secured away on the west side of the home is the main deck giving the family the perfect BBQ area for those warm summer evenings. Facing northeast this highlands home captures all-day sun and is shielded from weather by surrounding eucalypts, blackwoods and casuarinas. For the avid naturalist, the surrounding, private land encompasses acres of untouched bushwalking opportunities and is home to an abundance of wildlife including falcons, kookaburras, eagles, wombats, wallabies and Tasmanian pademelons.

Built from natural materials such as recycled polished timber, this rural hideaway was specifically designed to be environmentally friendly. With rainwater collection, wood stove for the winter and huge amounts of natural lighting, this home gives the feel of your own natural setting amongst the bushlands.

Inside you’ll find a large, open-plan lounge/dining area that features a huge, slow-combustion wood stove, taking the cosiness and comfort of this house to the next level. The home also features a charming kitchen, hardwood floors, built in bookcases and a 2-storey cathedral ceiling. The feel of this home will leave you delighted by the ample space that it has to offer. The home’s large, master bedroom and 2 double bedrooms all look out to ocean views with the 2 double bedrooms both having their own private deck. The master bedroom also has a large moon-light allowing plenty of light and a beautiful view of moon and stars on those clear summer nights. These rooms offer endless opportunities for relaxation from watching the sun rise to the sound of birds or getting out the binoculars to look for whale pods off the nearby coastline.

There are bush walks on the property and throughout the adjacent Wielangta Forest, home to the magnificent Eucalyptus Regnans (the tallest flowering plant on earth) as well as the rare and endangered Swift Parrot and Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagle. On the property are a rare Oyster Bay Pine, endemic only to Wielangta Forest, and several 200-year-old Blue Gums. The location makes Wielangta an excellent mid-point for bush-walks on the cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula or on nearby Maria Island.

This tranquil and well-presented highlands house is a must-see for anyone looking to set up a comfortable and peaceful home or looking for a combination holiday house/vacation rental business without having to drive too far from the city.
