Privately positioned on approximately 1.27 hectares in one of Forcett's most tightly held pockets, 7 Blackwood Drive presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial lifestyle property offering space, privacy and flexibility quietly offered to a limited number of buyers prior to any public launch.
Owner-built and originally occupied by the current owners, the home has been thoughtfully designed to sit naturally within its environment, creating a genuine sense of retreat while remaining within easy reach of Dodges Ferry, Sorell and Hobart's south-east corridor.
The residence comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with generous, light-filled living areas that feel both welcoming and practical. Open-plan living spaces flow seamlessly, supporting everyday family life as well as relaxed entertaining. Large windows invite natural light throughout and frame views across the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the calm and open atmosphere that defines the home.
A standout feature is the substantial garage and shed infrastructure, with space to accommodate up to four vehicles, along with additional room for storage, hobbies or workshop use. Adjoining ancillary-style accommodation further enhances the property's flexibility, offering options for guests, extended family, a home office or creative retreat (subject to individual requirements and approvals).
The landholding itself is a key drawcard, providing a rare combination of acreage living with a sense of community and privacy. Established separation from neighbouring properties allows for peaceful enjoyment of the outdoors, while a smaller, enclosed backyard offers a secure and manageable space ideal for children, pets and family living. This balance makes the property particularly appealing to families seeking a quieter lifestyle without feeling isolated. It is a property that offers the rare luxury of space and quiet, without sacrificing connection where family life can slow down, spread out, and settle into something more grounded.
Forcett continues to attract strong buyer interest due to its proximity to popular coastal hubs such as Dodges Ferry and Lewisham, where beaches, cafés, boating and a relaxed seaside lifestyle are part of daily life. At the same time, easy access to Sorell and greater Hobart ensures convenience to schools, services and employment, further strengthening the area's long-term appeal.
The property is currently tenanted, with the lease expiring on 28 May, offering flexibility for both owner-occupiers planning a future move-in and investors seeking immediate return. A recent rental appraisal indicates an estimated rental range of $620$650 per week, reflecting the strong demand for quality homes with land in this tightly held location.
Offered exclusively off-market, this is a rare opportunity to secure a quality lifestyle property with land, infrastructure and long-term appeal before it is exposed to the broader market.
