207 Tinderbox Road

Tinderbox TAS 7054

The property straddles the Tinderbox peninsula's broad grassy ridgeline, including its highest point, and overlooks water on three sides, from North West Bay and the d'Enctrecasteaux Channel to the Derwent, with Storm Bay and the Southern Ocean beyond.

The property is dominated by grassy blue gum forest in excellent condition, with a diverse understorey of native herbs, native grasses including wallaby grass, speargrass, bentgrass, tussock grass and kangaroo grass, and shrubs including viscid daisybush, hop bush, creeping bossiaea, peach heath, native cherry, native cranberry, blackthorn and silver wattle.

It is home to mammals including wallabies, pademelons, bettongs, long-nosed potoroos, bandicoots, possums, echidnas, quolls, devils and marsupial mice. Birds include parrots, pardalotes, eagles, kookooburras, lapwings, native hens, rosellas, robins, butcherbirds, shrikes, fairywrens, wattlebirds, honeyeaters, thornbills and currawongs. Nearby waters are visited by dolphins, whales and fur seals.

The property also provides habitat for several endangered or vulnerable species: swift parrots (which migrate in spring from the mainland to feed on the nectar of blue gum flowers in Tinderbox and a few other locations, and to rear their chicks); forty-spotted pardalotes (which are found in only a few locations, including Tinderbox); Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagles; and Eastern barred bandicoots.

The property adjoins two other significant reserves, the Tinderbox Nature Reserve (managed by Tasmania Parks & Wildlife) and the Tinderbox Hills Reserve (owned by the Tasmanian Land Conservancy).
The property is crossed by the Tinderbox Hills Track, which is a public walking trail managed by Kingborough Council.

A concrete and ashpalt driveway leads to a spectacular building site which provides commanding views over the Derwent from Mount Wellington to the Southern Ocean.

If you have ever dreamt of living in your own piece of paradise close to the airport and the CBD of Hobart now is your chance.
