Access to Shipstern Bluff and Tunnel Bay

This unique property is amazing but also a challenge!

Adjoining the Tasman National Park and containing a private walking track linking to Shipstern Bluff, Tunnel Bay and the Cape Roul walk, this incredible 40 hectare property is being offered to the market for the first time since the early 1980's.

Featuring a unique homestead built from recycled materials and incorporating modern comforts all set within established gardens on the edge of the title. Wood storage, sheds and outbuildings add to the amenity of this property which is connected to mains power, tank water and septic tank. A large manmade lake with stone wall edging is the centrepiece of the gardens.

Throughout the sale process it has been identified that some components of the property do not have council approval, and as a result a new building permit would be required prior to occupancy. New owners are likely to want to renovate this dwelling extensively which would require a building permit. This will impact the lending options for this property as a bank may not accept it as a security to a mortgage. The price has been reduced to reflect this.

The gateway to the National Park, the current owner allows use of a private walking track known as Shipstern Bluff & Tunnel Bay walk, and 11.5 km circuit leading through private property to the National Park and coastline beyond. The track includes a had built stone road which meanders through the private forest on site. Well known locally and published in the latest version of Tasmanian Short Walks guide book.

The gardens have developed over decades and there is an established fruit tree orchard with 20 assorted varieties along with 20 mature Tasmanian Pepper Berry trees which could sustain a small dried berry business.

Accessible by 2WD car on a private road, this property would suit a range of opportunities to take it to the next level. The property would be ideal for an ultra private retreat, or a commercial venture involving bike trails, walking trails or bush retreat (STCA).
