Castle Forbes Bay TAS 7116

Consisting of 17.5 acres (7.078ha), this property offers a great mix of really nice native forest and a large cleared area at the front ready for you to develop into your new home. The current owner once started the foundations for a new house and the plans for that are available with the sale. A real feature has to be the creek that runs right through the length of the land. There is good access up the creek line, through the ferns and up into the forest to explore your little piece of paradise. On route you will find a spot along the creek line that has being tapped into with a small pipe that permanently pours out crystal clear water. Yes, it just continually flows for you to use in whatever way you want.

The large cleared area at the front consists of the foundations and a small section of the original apple orchard. Within this, there is a great little timber studio. As you meander up into the forest, a walking track takes you to the real surprise here... a clearing amongst the forest reveals a quaint little cabin. This would be ideal temporary accommodation while you are building, otherwise it makes for a lovely spot to come to on weekends to enjoy your little piece of Tassie. The cabin is simple but fun. There is a main living space with a bedroom area and a space for the kitchenette. Cosy and functional, although very rustic.

Situated up a quiet country road within the beautiful valley of Castle Forbes Bay, this property could be the nature escape you've been looking for, without being too far from anything. Located approximately 45-50 minutes drive from Hobart and 15 minutes away up along the mighty estuary of the Huon River to the hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville. You pass through the historic township of Franklin on the way through only 5 minutes up the road. Geeveston is approximately 10 minutes the other way, which is a lovely forest town providing you with a great place to meet locals and exchange fruit and veggies. If you're looking for the ultimate escape or weekender, please contact me to organise a meeting on site.
