This very secluded location is spectacular. Perched up high in the hills of Lucaston with amazing views out over the valley, this property is completely removed from society and yet so close to everything when you decide you want it. Set amongst 50 acres (20.59ha) of native forest with a large hilltop clearing for you to enjoy all to yourself.
A bus provides well decked out funky accommodation, fully protected by a shelter and with a basic bathroom facility at the rear complete with hot and cold water, there is little to do, but enjoy the location. A shed provides storage and a separate studio on the other side of the driveway is practical for whatever you may need extra space for. Nearby is the veggie enclosure, a fenced area for home-grown produce, keeping the wallabies at bay. High up is a 24,000L header water tank providing full pressure water supply to the bus and bathroom and garden.
The access to the property is via a gravel formed track that winds its way all the way up to the property, then across the top of the property before finally dropping down to the clearing. As you turn around that last bend through the gates, you are faced with the impressive mountain vista. There is no other civilisation in sight, surrounded only by nature. The Wellington Range is in the distance and Mt Sleeping Beauty just pokes her face up on the horizon.
Facing north, there is all day sun throughout the year, allowing for easy solar charging. The bus is set up with low-voltage power, providing lighting at night and charging for your phone and laptop. The slow-combustion wood fire will keep you snug at night and the full-sized bed looks so inviting. The bus is functional, able to be driven out, should it not be required. A personal quarry on the property provides practically an endless supply of gravel for access maintenance.
The natural environment up here is teaming with wildlife. There are Wallabies, Echidnas, Quolls, Bandicoots, Wombats and probably Devils too. Up high in the sky, the Wedge Tail Eagles soar. The birdlife is plentiful with Parrots, Cockatoos, Wrens and Robins. This is a very private, natural escape with 50 acres of your own Tassie oasis, high up where the air is crisp and clean.
A 5 minute drive out takes you to the Huon Hwy where you can pop into the main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville in one direction or head into Hobart within 30 minutes the other direction. The area is known for its excellent Apples and Cherries. Nearby is Willie Smiths Apple Cidery, Home Hill Winery and the well loved Summer Kitchen Café/Bakery.
