Phone Enquiry ID: 228398 An 81.9 acre (33.18 hectares) block in Rosebery, on the west coast of Tasmania - a 1 hour and 20 minute drive from the city of Burnie on the north west coast. This block has its own potable freshwater spring (which has been tested by the State Authority as suitable for drinking water), which has been used to supply all the freshwater needs for the home on the property for decades. The property also has a dam (which is fed from a creek which has the Ring River as its source), which was constructed with hydroelectric power generation in mind, allowing the property to become self-sufficient with regards to power and freshwater. This dam is also the home to a local platypus, and rainbow trout. The property has approximately 20 acres of cleared land that is suitable for livestock. The property's northern boundary is the Pieman River, and adjacent to the southern boundary is the Rosebery Golf Course. The property's potential for tourism is enormous. Build your dream home on the property and use the current 3 bedroom home as a very comfortable and well equipped Bed and Breakfast or Airbnb. Add a couple of secluded luxury cabins within the forested area of the property and exploit the tourism potential. It is closely situated to the world famous Cradle Mountain, with all it has to offer, alongside more local but no less spectacular hiking attractions such as Montezuma Falls, Frenchmans Cap, and Mount Murchison. There are also numerous lakes well known for their sport fishing - Lake Rosebery and Lake Mackintosh are two such lakes within 20 minutes drive of the property. Other nearby tourist attractions include the picturesque township of Strahan, with its cafes and restaurants, Gordon River cruises, and the West Coast Wilderness Railway which operates the rack and pinion steam train, providing rail experiences between Strahan and Queenstown. Alternatively, the property could be used as it was by the current owners for many years, as a relaxing weekend getaway place for the family, with plenty of motorbike and fourwheel drive tracks on the property itself, and lots more nearby.
