Set on approximately 1.014 hectares (2.50 acres) on the southern outskirts of the historic Midlands village of Tunbridge, 8385 Midland Highway offers an affordable opportunity to embrace a rural lifestyle, establish a hobby farm, or restore a piece of local history.
Offered 'as is where is', the property is thoughtfully divided into several well-fenced yards with lock-up timber sheds ideal storage options for farm infrastructure.
At the heart of the property is the early settlers' cottage, which was once the residence of the Hall family, a well-known Tunbridge farming family, during the early 1920s. The cottage retains authentic character, including exposed split-timber walls and an open fireplace, providing an exciting restoration opportunity for those looking to preserve its historic charm.
The property is connected to the town water supply and enjoys established access from the Midland Highway. From the land, there are appealing rural views east towards the village of Tunbridge and the surrounding grazing country.
The property is zoned 'Rural' under the Southern Midlands Council Planning Scheme. The construction of a new dwelling and/or restoration of the existing workers' cottage is subject to obtaining a planning permit through Southern Midlands Council.
Historic Tunbridge, originally known as Tunbridge Wells after the famous English spa town, offers a peaceful rural setting on the banks of the Blackman River. Despite its convenient Midland Highway location, the village retains a quiet country atmosphere.
The property is approximately 15 minutes from Oatlands, a similar distance from Campbell Town and around 10 minutes from Ross, placing local services, shops and historic attractions within easy reach. The Tunbridge Community Club is also nearby, while Australia Post provides drive-by postal delivery to the village. Both major centres of Hobart and Launceston are both just over an hour away along the Midland Highway.
Whether your vision is permaculture, hobby farming, restoring a historic cottage or simply enjoying a peaceful rural lifestyle, 8385 Midland Highway offers an opportunity to create something truly special in Tasmania's historic Midlands.
Think hobby farm. Think historic restoration. Think 8385 Midland Highway, Tunbridge.
