441 Tinderbox Road

Tinderbox Farm and Vineyard Estate showcases a significant Tasmanian holding defined by scale, productivity and long-term opportunity. Extending across approximately 317.5 hectares, with over four kilometres of high water mark title, the property brings together rolling pasture, a mature cool-climate vineyard and uninterrupted views across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to Bruny Island. Positioned just 25 minutes south of Hobart, the estate offers a compelling balance of accessibility, privacy and stunning coastal outlook - attributes seldom found in combination at this level. Generationally held for over 70 years and long regarded for premium its table wine production, Tinderbox presents a cohesive blend of agricultural production and lifestyle appeal. The established 2-hectare vineyard, planted in 1993 to Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay, is set on basalt and dolerite-derived soils. A maritime-influenced climate tempers seasonal extremes and mitigates frost risk, supporting consistency in both yield and fruit quality. Beyond the vineyard, the broader holding supports a mixed farming operation, comprising a combination of improved and native pastures currently utilised for beef cattle grazing alongside areas of retained bushland. The heritage-listed homestead is a late Victorian weatherboard residence on sandstone foundations, offering three bedrooms, one bathroom and a flexible dining room or fourth bedroom. Original period features - including a wide central hallway, stained glass, high ceilings and timber floors - are retained throughout. The immediate grounds incorporate an established olive grove, fruit trees and mature macrocarpa pines, with elevated outlooks across the vineyard and Tinderbox Marine Reserve. A secondary dwelling, converted from the original painted brick Georgian stable, provides two-storey accommodation with two bedrooms and one bathroom. Retaining stone flooring, timber detailing and integrated original fixtures, it offers flexibility for dual occupancy, guest accommodation, cellar door use or broader tourism activation. Operational infrastructure includes a timber shearing shed, stockyards, cool storage and multiple ancillary farm buildings. Water security is underpinned by three substantial irrigation dams and associated systems servicing both agricultural and livestock requirements. The landscape is ecologically diverse, with native eucalypt stands, abundant wildlife with regular sightings of wedge-tailed eagles. At certain times of the year Tinderbox is also famous for exceptional night skies, with minimal light pollution and frequent visibility of the Aurora Australis, framed by the well-known "Tinderbox Tree" vantage point. Zoned Rural Resource and Environmental Living under the Tasmanian Interim Planning Scheme, the property is supported by an approved permit for a 12-lot subdivision (subject to final council approval), providing a clear pathway for future development, tourism or conservation outcomes. Holdings of this scale, calibre and proximity to Hobart are rarely brought to market.
