This property is situated in the highlands of NW Tasmania approximately 40 minutes from Cradle Mountain National Park with some of the most breathtaking views this state has to offer! 300 views scanning from the North West to the Dial Ranges, Bass Strait, Northern coastline and the Wilmot Valley, around to the East and the majestic Mt Roland, Mt Van Dyke, Mt Claude and the Western tiers, to the South Lake Cethana and Mt Ossa (Tasmania's highest peak), it really is spectacular.

The house is set back 600 metres from Cradle Mountain Road which not only makes it very private but extremely quiet - the only sound you will hear are the sounds of Nature.

The 300 metre driveway is lined on both sides with towering gum trees before opening out to views that will take your breath away. The home is set on the highest point of the property, some 600 metres above sea level and built to capture the views of the landscape from every window. Two storeys high and of solid construction with steel girders running through the framework into a concrete slab, this home is solid. With six generously sized bedrooms, two with private ensuites and a third main bathroom it would be an ideal place for a B&B, Rural Retreat or simply to enjoy with lots of room for family and friends.

The lounge features a wood fire and a large glass feature wall, bringing the outdoors inside and making the most of the beautiful views over Wilmot Valley and the coastline beyond. The sunroom creates a buffer between this and the world outside, perfect for enjoying breakfast as the sun rises in the morning, or for growing the odd herb or two. The position of the house enables it to take advantage of the sun from sunrise till dusk, ensuring it retains the warmth and keeps heating bills to a minimum. The property boasts hundreds of trees, so there will never be a shortage of firewood to keep you warm.

The kitchen is custom built from Myrtle & Blackheart Sassafras some of Tasmania's most beautiful hardwoods, with ample cupboards and bench space, a double sink and large gas upright stove. The dining room adjoins with views of the mountains and valley while the family room has sliding glass doors that open onto the large deck at the rear of the home. There is a separate laundry with plenty of cupboards and bench space. A garage at the side of the home, the wood shed is as new and tool shed is fully lined with work benches both sides.
No extortionate water & sewage charges, EVER!!!

The most magnificent tasting Pure Mountain Water is pumped up from 240 feet below ground level; rediscover how water is meant to taste.

The land is being returned to its natural state with some rainforest at the bottom and to the South of the block. A circular driveway surrounds the retaining rock wall and selective plantings of flowering native trees, man ferns and shrubs create an easy care landscape.

Spring brings a riot of colour with waratahs, white, red & crimson bottle brushes, native grasses, daffodils, crocuses and other flowers. Wildlife including Wallabies, Possums, a resident Echidna, and Quolls emerge at dusk to feed while Blue wrens, Red Robins, Swallows and other little birds dance on the porch and feed on insects at dusk.

Wedge-tailed Eagles, Hawks grace the skies during the day. Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos pass over this area. 'Erriba' is the aboriginal word for Black Cockatoo and flocks of up to 100+ can often be seen flying over to let you know the weather is on the turn.

Every day is magical here!
