Lot 1 Harwoods Road

Tucked well away from the busy of today's world, this wonderfully private 45 acres (18.23ha), is like a sanctuary where you will feel totally removed from the worries of the world. Consisting of a combination of cleared pastures with a large section of native forest at the bottom, the diversity of this property provides both visual appeal as well as great practicality. As you drive up into the hills from the farmlands of Castle Forbes Bay, you wind up at the entry point shared with a few other properties also enjoying their privacy. Through an electric gate and then at the end of the track, you drop down through the forest to the start of the property. Coming in at the top, through your gate, the expansive views over your land open right out past the valley and through to the Wellington Range in the far distance. The driveway leads you down to a weekender cabin, perfectly positioned to capitalise on the expansive views that open up in front of you. Perched on the hillside, the cabin is welcoming and seamlessly settles into the landscape. Constructed from Celery Top Pine, there is no maintenance required. This is a fantastic addition, adding comfort to the enjoyment of the peace and calm that this secluded location brings. Well insulated and well set-up, this is a super quaint cabin. A wood fire will keep you toasty. There is even a solar system with batteries, allowing you to run a small fridge and lights, plug in the laptop and listen to music. all totally off-grid! Facing north, provides a lovely warm and sunny aspect all year round. The views from the verandah are mesmerising, connecting you with nature and the beauty of the natural world. There will be many forms of wildlife within what resembles a National Park. From wallabies and quolls to wombats and bandicoots. And the birdlife, from the small colourful scarlet Robins to the Wedgetail Eagles souring above you on the rising thermals. The land is accessed by a track that leads down to the pastures and to the forest. A section of huge gums are awe inspiring as you wonder beneath their impressive structure. A small dam is in the start of the creek line that runs through the property, providing a good water supply. Along the side boundary of the property through the gums, reveals the elevation from the valley bellow, creating a fantastic vantage point to take in a view to the Huon River estuary and the world left behind. Down the bottom, a large stand of forest will provide you with as much firewood as you are likely to need and a natural bushland environment to explore. We are so far up here that there will be times of snowfall, transforming the property into a winter wonderland. The changing seasons will provide forever changing scenery as will the time of day from misty mornings and spectacular sunrises to the brilliant sunny days and moody evening light as the sun goes down.
