About this property

Set on forty plus acres of rich red soil and ancient old-growth forest, this owner-built estate is a rare marriage of high-end craftsmanship and raw natural beauty. Designed to sit in harmony with the land, the residence uses Tasmania's finest timbers-Myrtle, King Billy Pine, and Fiddleback Oak-to create a home that feels like a natural extension of its environment. The Land & Infrastructure This is more than a home; it is a fully realized rural lifestyle. The 42-acre holding features: Water & Power Security: A 50-panel solar array, modern solar hot water, two massive underground tanks, and an environmental wastewater system for true self-sufficiency. Productive Earth: Rich red soil supports a year-round hothouse, established trees (apple, pear, citrus, cherry, olive, kiwi), chicken coops, and stockyards. Extensive Shedding: Five substantial sheds, including a dam-side workshop with 3-phase power and high-clearance storage for a caravan, boat, or tractor. The Private Ecosystem At the heart of the property lies a flow-through dam, a private world of its own, with unlimited water with your own water licence. Complete with a pontoon, "teenage shack," and a stone-fireplace BBQ area, the dam is a sanctuary for resident platypus, trout, and ducks. Nearby, a secret native bee garden and a kids' treehouse offer a magical connection to the Tasmanian bush. The Residence The home's unique turret-style entry and cathedral ceilings in Macrocarpa and Tas Oak create a sense of scale and warmth. The Master Retreat: A soundproof upper-level sanctuary with panoramic sea and mountain views, and a private balcony. The Heart of the Home: A chef's kitchen and open-plan living area with Myrtle floorboards and a feature wood fire (with external-loading woodbox). Wellness & Work: A 10-metre indoor heated pool and spa under soaring timber ceilings, plus a dedicated home office with bespoke Myrtle cabinetry. Lovingly improved over two decades, this is a property that nurtures the soul. Whether you are farming the soil, exploring the old-growth forest, or watching the sunset over Bass Strait from your balcony, this is the ultimate Tasmanian retreat. Located just 5 minutes from Penguin, 10 minutes from Burnie (schools and hospital), 15 minutes from Ulverstone and 30 minutes either side to Burnie and Devonport airports, there is plenty of opportunity to commute to work and enjoy rural living. This property delivers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Whether you're seeking a private family estate, lifestyle retreat or a unique Tasmanian sanctuary, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare.
