The sale of Riverside at Carlton River is an unbelievable opportunity to secure what is the largest waterfront property to be sold in recent history. The property is approximately 876 hectares on 11 parcels (some title to the high water mark) and has always been run as a sheep grazing enterprise, but the property’s potential as an investment and a future development prospect is massive.

The variety of landscapes on Riverside is stunning. There are unobstructed views of Hobart and Mount Wellington over the Derwent River to the west, and as you look south Storm Bay, Bruny Island, the Tasman Peninsula, the Tasman Sea, and the entire waterway in the foreground is right before you. The waterfront runs around the coast for nearly 3 kilometres. It starts on the edge of the seaside village of Primrose Sands, and from the soft sand of Susan Bay, follows the coast around rocky points and sheltered pebbly coves to join the beach shack settlement at Connelly’s Bay. There is also a long frontage to Carlton River. In between the water and the peaks are blue gum forests above healthy grazing pastures for the stock on the property.

The only improvements on the property are an excellent shearing shed and sheep yards, with machinery shed, hay shed and brick shearer’s quarters, and an amazing old shack built virtually on the water in a sheltered corner of Connelly’s Bay, along with 2 jetty licences, one in front of the shack and one further along the shore.

Riverside is for sale as one freehold property on 11 parcels, with offers to be presented to the Vendors agent by midday on Friday 19th December 2014.
