82 Narrows Road

Strathblane TAS 7109

Set on an amazingly diverse 29.6 acres (12ha), this property is very special. Apart from the 1974 home set on 2 levels with an open plan living, 3-4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property itself has a lot on offer. There are gorgeous mature gardens with some of Tasmania's rarest plants that include Huon Pines around a beautiful dam complete with its own island, jetty and resident platypus.
A fantastic walk leads right up a classic rocky creek that forms the north western boundary. It is white water stuff in winter and a swimming waterhole for the summer. The walk leads back into the property through an established pine forest complete with classic red and white speckled toadstools, just like in fairyland. The transition between the pines and the native bush was once the old tram line which used to carry timbers out of the forest. Now the line is gone, but this fantastic piece of history still appears on the property title.
The bush offers a vast array of native vegetation and beautiful towering gums. There is a massive selection of wildlife here including wombats, quolls, echidnas, platypus, wallabies and even devils as well as a ridiculous number of bird species. Continue the walk back to the dam (more like a small lake) and be rewarded with the stunning garden setting that wraps around the lake and the house.
