Well, nestled at the foothills of the world heritage Barrington Tops National park and backing onto the Copeland Tops State Conservation Area this highly productive basalt and brush soil fifty acre property is sure to inspire lots of interest. The cottage has been built to last with solid brick piers, a hardwood timber frame, gyprock lined and finished with a new roof. The extensively renovated two bedroom home complimented by the well fenced farm is a treechangers dream. This property is conveniently located just 13 minutes from Gloucester town centre.

An on-site septic system with Evapotranspiration absorption (ETA) beds ample for five bedrooms has been installed. A 40ft shipping container provides sufficient securable storage. Some of the many great features of this home include beautiful hardwood polished floorboards, a generous sized natural Tasmanian Oak kitchen with gas cooktop and oven, reverse cycle air-conditioning, secure and energy efficient Kömmerling UPVC triple glazing throughout and an evacuated tube solar HWS boosted by a hot water flu kit on the wood burner. Creating your new dream country lifestyle just got easier because when it comes to business opportunities the only limit is your imagination from a boutique goat or llama farm, honey bee hives or simply providing tourist accommodation. This property could be further developed into almost anything taking advantage of its RU1 zoning and tar road frontage on the popular tourist route for travellers visiting the Barrington Tops whether it is for experiencing the snow or for the all year round hiking and exploring of the beautiful rainforests and waterfalls. Equally for someone looking for that idyllic retreat to retire to, one could run a small livestock enterprise, keep horses or engage a stock agent providing a zero effort yearly income. There is also potential for a dual occupancy future development (STCA). An internal road gives access to a prepared site which has a class ‘A’ geotechnical report for the exposed cut in and an installed septic tank has been connected to the ETA beds and is ready to go. This site is on higher ground and offers stunning views of the surrounding Barrington and Gloucester valleys together with good mobile and NBN reception. Enjoy your breakfast on the veranda as the sun rises behind the hills while listening to the calling of the rainforest arousing. In the evening relax in the freedom to entertain with friends not being disturbed by, or disturbing your neighbours as you are closely surrounded only by abundant wildlife, rare birds, koalas, fireflies, echidnas and wallabies. This unique property represents great value, multitudes of future development potential and is not expected to be on the market for long.
