End of Waggs Gully Rd

Spanning over 20.04 hectares (49.5 acres) across 2 titles, this pristine native Tassie bushland is now offered to the market. From large rock formations along the ridgeline to bursts of lush green ferns along creek lines, the landscape is rich with natural character. Located in Ranelagh, just 40 minutes from the state capital Hobart, this property offers a true wilderness escape within reach. At the end of Waggs Gully Road, a 4x4 track takes you through babbling creek crossings and up into the hills, passing lush green valley troughs with towering tree ferns. The track leads to within approximately 200 metres of the property, from where it is on foot from here via an old fire trail. This is the legal access. These blocks have been recognised as worthy of preservation and are protected by a Conservation Covenant. On the block, there is a domestic zone which allows for development and would be ideal for building a weekend cabin getaway or eco retreat (STCA). Once on the first title, you are greeted with a clearing beneath tall mature trees and views towards the southern wilderness. This also marks the beginning of the domestic zone. Continue along the walking track on the ridgeline and you will find large rock formations and caves, with elevated views throughout. Along the way are additional pockets of clearing covered with grass. The second title drops into a different landscape again, following the terrain down to a winter creek where moisture is held year-round, allowing dense wetland vegetation to thrive. Here, towering tree ferns and a thick understorey create a cool, sheltered pocket of bush alive with movement and birdlife. This is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, with an abundance of wildlife regularly spotted on the property, including pademelons, quolls, echidnas, and even the occasional Tasmanian devil in the area. The locality of Ranelagh is well known for its popular Summer Kitchen and Ranelagh General Store eateries. It hosts the "Taste of the Huon" events within walking distance at the nearby showground, and close by is the winery restaurant Home Hill, producing award-winning wines and offering a beautiful setting for lunches and dinners amongst the vines. If you are looking for a real sense of adventure and to secure your own piece of Tassie wilderness to explore and discover for yourself, all within minutes of civilisation, then this is worth your attention.
