Positioned on the banks of the Tamar River within Launceston's thriving northern corridor, Fairlands Estate at 251-259 Alanvale Road, Newnham represents one of Tasmania's most significant future residential landholdings. Spanning approximately 93 hectares ( 231 acres) across five titles, including 25 acres zoned General Residential, this exceptional site provides genuine scale for a master-planned community overlooking the Tamar River, rolling hills and the Launceston cityscape. Concept planning outlines potential for 250+ residential lots, thoughtfully balanced with parklands, two central lakes and walking connections to enhance liveability and long-term value.
The property includes three existing dwellings and a studio Airbnb, offering an income stream while planning and approvals progress. With direct access via Alanvale Road and Camira Street, the estate is well positioned near the University of Tasmania, AMC, TASTAFE, schools and retail services, only minutes from the Launceston CBD. Supported by council growth priorities and increasing demand for residential land, Fairlands Estate stands as a cornerstone opportunity to deliver a major new community in Tasmania's expanding North.
