The Ultimate Nature Lover's Retreat
Escape to a world where the only soundtrack is the call of the Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo and the gentle rush of the West Gawler River. Spanning 95 acres of awe-inspiring native forest, this property is a private ecosystem featuring soaring Mountain Ash, giant Tree Ferns, and 600 metres of pristine river frontage complete with private swimming holes and cascades.
Whether you are a wildlife photographer, a conservationist, or simply seeking a soul-rejuvenating lifestyle, this sanctuary offers unparalleled biodiversity. Share your morning coffee with Superb Fairy Wrens and your evenings with Platypus, Wombats, and the rare Giant Freshwater Crayfish, all under a night sky so clear it frequently dances with the Aurora Australis.
A Home with History and Heart
The residence is as unique as the land it sits upon. Originally a two-story warehouse on the Devonport docks, the structure was relocated in 1983 and masterfully transformed into a spacious, modern haven.
Living: Open-plan lounge and dining with raked ceilings and a cozy wood fire, framed by massive windows overlooking the valley mist.
Accommodation: Four generous bedrooms. Two ground-floor bedrooms feature ensuites, while the upstairs master suite offers a walk-in robe and elevated views of the dam and forest.
Design: North and east-facing windows flood the home with Tasmanian sunshine, while a dedicated sunroom and office provide perfect spaces for quiet contemplation or remote work.
The Grounds: An eclectic garden of European and native flora surrounds the home, complemented by an alfresco patio with a firepit for starlit entertainment.
Infrastructure & Exploration
This is a property equipped for self-sufficiency and creative pursuits:
Outbuildings: Large work-shed with a dedicated studio, double carports, and a rear garage.
Utilities: Gravity-fed spring water (with dam backup), satellite internet/Wi-Fi, and a mix of electric and gas hot water systems.
The Forest Trails: Miles of private walking tracks, including the "River Cliff Walk" and "Mountain Ash Walk," wind through the valley.
Heritage: Trace the history of the defunct Nietta-Ulverstone Railway, with original embankments and cuttings still visible on the property.
