Secure your piece of the glorious East Coast with this 82ha title of natural forest with frontage to Wielangta Road, just 2.5 kilometres from Orford. The property bounds Wielangta Road for a little over 1 kilometre and runs to the West over undulating country approximately 750 meters deep on both northern boundary and the southern boundary, which adjoins the Three Thumbs State Reserve.
Hosting a major tributary of 2 Mile creek which arises on the property, the landform has resulted in a variety of slope, aspects and moisture regimes which together contribute to a rich diversity of flora, fauna and vegetation communities.
While much of 2503 Wielangta Road retains old growth forest and native grassy woodlands, including White Gums, White Peppermint, Black Peppermint, Stringybark and Blue Gum species, a significant portion was cleared for woodchip around 1990 and now supports 30 year old regrowth in very good condition, undisturbed from that period.
The mix of other tree and understory species on the title includes Oyster Bay Pines, Silver Banksia, Black Sheoak, Drooping Sheoak and Native Cherry - plus groves of Grass Trees, areas of heath, native grasses and sedges. The property also features a substantial population of the rare endemic Eucalyptus mallee known as Barbers Gum. A damp land in the sheltered headwaters of a creek on sandy soils supports a variety of fern species, including a few Man Ferns along the creek line.
A rich diversity of native mammals and birdlife live in this country. Wombats, Quolls, Devils, Bettongs, Bandicoots, Pademelons, Echdna's, Wallabies and Brush-tailed possums are in evidence. As are endangered Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagles and the critically endangered Swift Parrot.
Held since 2013 by a conservation minded vendor, 2503 Wielangta Road is now offered for sale as a peaceful and private bush retreat to be enjoyed by generations to come seeking clean air, safe haven and privacy. The property has suitable housing sites offering all day sun STCA, an existing all-weather driveway and enjoys well maintained access via Wielangta Road, just over 1 hour by car from the city of Hobart (and only 45 minutes from Hobart Airport).
With 4G mobile coverage and a 5 minute drive to access the surf at beautiful nearby Spring Beach, the sea air and views across the sparkling waters of Mercury Passage all the way to Schouten Island (Freycinet National Park) are truly uplifting while the gentle background sounds of the sea and natural bush settings are an enchanting mix.
The Orford/Spring Beach east coast precinct is well equipped with community support infrastructure including supermarkets, medical services, cafes, a pharmacy, golf, bowls and boating clubs, fantastic fishing and sailing and 13 of the best cool climate vineyards in the state. Tasmania has so much to offer - what are you waiting for!
