689 Nelson Road, Mount Nelson TAS 7007

Nestled on a generous, peaceful allotment and embraced by natural bushland, this charming heritage home offers a rare opportunity to live amid the beauty and history of the River Derwent skyline. Bathed in natural light, the delightful vertical-board cottage welcomes you with views across the river and toward the iconic Tasman Bridge-scenery that shifts gently with the seasons.
Inside, the home retains much of its original character, featuring two well-proportioned bedrooms, a spacious lounge that flows into a sunny dining room, and a practical kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. Its current condition invites thoughtful updates that honour the property's rich heritage and timeless appeal.
Set within an Environmental Management Zone under the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. This special zoning safeguards the unique environment and may limit future development-ensuring the tranquillity and natural integrity of the 1,744m² allotment are carefully preserved.
A cosy wood heater offers warmth and comfort through the cooler months, creating a welcoming heart to the home. Beyond the main residence, a lock-up garage and separate studio provide ideal spaces for artists, makers, or anyone seeking a serene retreat for creativity and contemplation.
Bordering the historic Mt Nelson Signal Station, the property also enjoys direct access to local bushwalking tracks, including the renowned Truganini Track. Beginning in Taroona and winding through sheltered gullies and open forest to breathtaking views at the summit, this trail places nature's splendour quite literally at your doorstep.
Steeped in history, surrounded by nature, and offering a sense of peace that's increasingly rare, this is a truly special piece of Tasmanian heritage-ready to welcome its next custodian.
