LOT 2, 155 Swamp Rd, Franklin TAS 7113

Positioned up a quiet country road up in the hills behind the riverside town of Franklin, this 10 acres (4.119ha), property has a fantastic northern aspect, ideal to capture the winter sun. An old farm gate provides access onto the land. Consisting of mostly cleared pastures with scattered Wattle trees and a cluster of tall gums in the back corner, there is plenty of scope here to create your new home (STCA).

There are 2 water ways that pass through the property, one is a small winter line down the eastern boundary and the other is a creek that passes diagonally through the front western corner. Here, a nature strip is teeming with wildlife. The forest at the rear is perfect for them to hide out in the day and then will come out to play at night. This creek is a great water source for future gardens.

The land is gentle to sloping and allows for a modern architect designed passive solar home, maybe cut into the bank with a full length of glass capturing the sun and the views of the surrounding green pastures and forested hills. Alternatively, you may prefer a classic country style home with sweeping verandahs. Set up your chicken coop, fruit trees and veggie beds. Keep some sheep or a cow or two.

There is power along the road and nearby the most obvious potential building site area, there is an original old pickers hut. This could be your first project, restoring it to be a workshop, or a barn for the hay and wood storage.

Just 5 minutes down the road, Franklin is a quaint historic town along the Huon River. There are a few eateries and cafés to choose from. Known as the home of all things wooden boats, there is a Wooden Boat School and the Living Boat Trust should that be of interest. The main hub of the Huon Valley is at Huonville, only a 10 minute drive away, where you will find all your country town services, including a Woolies supermarket, doctors, schools and a variety of shops. Hobart is within 45 minutes over the Wellington Range.

There are cows on the property, so please do not open the gate without us being present.
