Profit from or just enjoy this incredibly rare 48 acre parcel of town water acreage with expansive views of North West Bay and Mount Wellington. Capture this once in a lifetime opportunity to bask in the full northern sunshine on your private estate so close to the water’s edge and so close to Hobart, only 20 minutes away. With driveway access straight to the boat ramp across the road being one of the three entry points onto the land, there is another main driveway from Wingara Road and a private right of way from Tinderbox Road.

Four acreage lots were previously subdivided off this parcel in 2004 leaving the 48 acres that remain. These 2.5 – 5 acre lots were sold from $405,000 – $450,000. There are drawings available for a further 7 lots to be sectioned off, subject to Council approval, leaving the existing home on a 31 acre parcel that is made up of open pasture and approximately 19 acres of conservation forest. The forest is a beautiful feature of the property and much consideration has been given to the preservation of this area as well as the useability. A 1km track winds its way through for recreational purposes. Well-maintained road infrastructure allows easy travel around the rest of the land also, two large sheds provide an abundance of storage and the fully enclosed veggie garden allows you the option to enjoy the many different fruits of your labour. A creek runs through the property and fills a large dam to provide water for your possible pastoral or farming activities.

The main house is in immaculate condition and was built in 2006. It is modern and open plan with double glazing throughout to provide a comfortable living environment all year round. The front deck and most of the other rooms in the home, have either water views, mountain views or picturesque rural views over acres of pasture and bushland, or all three. Using logical foresight, the current owners have kept this home approved as an ancillary dwelling so that the construction of a more grand residence is possible down the track.

Character abounds in the old homestead, which is referred to as Howden Manor on some old mapping systems. Many of the original features are still intact and with some love and care this home could be restored to its former glory. Wide hardwood floorboards, Baltic pine ceilings and the quaint front porch easily transport one back in time and make you appreciate how important the simple things in life really are.

Howden itself is an exclusive enclave on the shores of North West Bay. This flows into the D’entrecasteaux Channel which is commonly referred to as some of the best cruising waters in the world. Popular due to its rural lifestyle combined with very easy access to Hobart itself and located in the rapidly developing Kingborough municipality. The demand for new land lots and housing in these areas are rising in response to recent population increases. Minutes from Howden are the beautiful beaches of Blackmans Bay and Kingston Beach, excellent school choices and ever-expanding shopping and community facilities.

A desirable location, a stunning lifestyle opportunity, a landbank for the future or a possible money maker…

The choice is yours.
