Land for sale offers lifestyle and conservation satisfaction
The Tasmanian Land Conservancy (TLC) is offering outstanding blocks of land for sale across Tasmania over the summer months.
The blocks have conservation covenants placed over high-priority forest communities, resulting in the protection of habitat for threatened or rare flora and fauna. Some are offered with sites available for residential development.
"These properties offer the best of both worlds — the opportunity to own a beautiful retreat, and own a private reserve," said property manager Jim Mulcahy.
"Buying a property with protected vegetation is an excellent way to protect your local community of Tasmanian devils or wedge-tailed eagles," Mr Mulcahy said.
The blocks are for sale as part of the Tasmanian Land Conservancy’s Revolving Fund. Proceeds from the sale of the properties are returned to the Revolving Fund, which is then used to help protect threatened communities on private land.
Some of the properties available for sale include:
Derwent Valley
Bullock Hills: Five blocks at Hollow Tree, 20 km north of New Norfolk, range from 20 to 137 ha. Each block features good road access, sunny house sites and attractive rural and bush land views. One block has sold, with five remaining on the market. $69,000-$125,000
East Coast
Lilla Villa: Just six km south of Bicheno, this 95 hectare property provides easy access to spectacular beaches, National Parks and essential services. With a long frontage onto the largest pool in the Apsley River and an existing internal track network, it offers excellent recreational opportunities, such as swimming, bushwalking and fishing. All of this in a private and peaceful bushland setting with several potential home sites close to the river. $165,000
North-east Coast
Shiny Grasstree: on the corner of Greens Beach Road and Badger Head Road, Clarence Point is approximately 41 hectares with a cleared house site and driveway. It is just ten minutes from Greens Beach, Badger Head and a Tamar River boat ramp. The purchaser of this property will be making a major contribution to the conservation of endangered black gum and heathy coastal black peppermint forest, as well as acquiring a superlative bush retreat close to the coast. $149,000
The Revolving Fund runs in partnership with the Tasmanian Government and is supported by the Australian Government.
