The Lakeside Fishing Hideaway
Tucked away in the serene heart of Tasmania's Central Highlands, 13 Laycock Drive offers a practical turn-key setup for keen anglers, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Positioned directly adjacent to Lake Crescent—separated only by an NRE Crown strip—you can enjoy clear water views right from the rear of your block. Well known among anglers as a renowned trophy trout fishery, Lake Crescent is famous for producing brown and rainbow trout, making this property an ideal base camp for fly and lure fishing weekends.
The heavy lifting and hard work have already been done for you. The generous 1,980m² allotment features a solid, fully approved 7m x 6m Colorbond shed/garage complete with connected mains power, internal and external lighting, a cozy wood heater, and an expansive 7m x 2.8m covered porch perfect for relaxing after a day on the water. Crucially, the foundational groundwork is complete, with all Council Certificates of Completion in place for both the shed/garage and the installed septic wastewater disposal system.
Whether you are looking for an immediate weekend retreat, a secure base to park the boat and caravan, or an affordable lifestyle plot with existing power, water, and septic infrastructure ready for a future build (STCA), this property represents exceptional value.
Located approximately 30 km from Bothwell, 35 km from Oatlands, and under a 1-hour 45-minute drive from both Hobart and Launceston, your highland getaway is ready and waiting.
