Steeped in nearly two centuries of Tasmanian rural history, this 52.35ha (approx. 129-acre) landholding offers a rare opportunity to secure a significant piece of the Central Highlands. This block represents a classic slice of Tasmanian farming heritage, once part of a larger multi-generational estate.
The Land & Infrastructure Situated within a Rural Zone (Overlay Land Use L151), the property features a versatile 70/30 split of native forest and cleared parkland. The open areas, originally utilised for hay production to support livestock, now provide a sweeping, serene landscape.
• The Shed: A high-quality, 90sqm (12m x 7.5m) insulated shed sits on the clearing. With power located nearby, this structure offers an excellent footprint to potentially be converted into a comfortable temporary dwelling (STCA) while you enjoy the land.
• Water: Supported by a rainwater tank, a private dam, and the tranquil Dry Hills Creek which meanders through the property.
• Heritage: The ruins of an original outstation cottage remain on-site, serving as a silent testament to the block’s pioneering past.
The Ultimate Getaway Currently used as a peaceful escape from the city; the property is a haven for local fauna. As the sun sets over the highlands, the landscape becomes truly magical, with deer, wallabies, and Tasmanian devils frequently appearing. Whether you are seeking a premier hunting block, a sustainable lifestyle project, or a secluded forest retreat, the peace and privacy here are absolute.
Connectivity & Lifestyle While the block feels worlds away, it remains remarkably accessible via direct entry from Strickland Road:
• 10 Minutes: Ouse township (IGA, local services).
• 25 Minutes: Hamilton (Central Highlands Council).
