12 Drovers Rise, Carlton River

This beautiful property situated in the gently rolling hills of Carlton River offers a variety of possibilities, whether they be related to lifestyle and relaxation, or viable business opportunities. It offers a full or part-time retreat from city life, a possible rural development for agistment, horses, growing small fruits, grapes or olives, a luxury holiday destination, or a combination of any of these scenarios and more.

With an approximate area of 100 acres (40.5 hectares) the property offers cleared, gentle slopes rising to native bushland, with three separate dwellings located to maximise stunning views across valleys and hills, the sparkling waters of Great Tiger and Frederick Henry Bays, with kunanyi/Mt Wellington as a backdrop. They are currently operating as the luxury accommodation, 'Wherewithal', and are being offered for sale in their entirety minus a few personal belongings. Located close to the beautiful southern beaches of Park Beach, Carlton Beach and Primrose Sands, enroute to the vineyards and gourmet foods of the Forestier Peninsula and to the majestic scenery and history of the Tasman Peninsula, they are in an ideal position to benefit not only from tourism but also from hosting special events such as weddings and other significant occasions. The larger of the three, Suite East, has, in the past, been a family home comprising two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious kitchen-living room with sliding doors opening onto an expansive, north-facing deck. Beyond the house are two fully self-contained, one-bedroom, state-of-the art, architect designed chalets, Suite North and Suite West, both superbly architecturally designed and stylishly furnished. Picture windows and private decks in all Suites embrace the outdoors, while underfloor heating plus gas and wood fires give warmth on wintery days. A large garage/workshop/carport provides secure storage, while building/planning approval from the Sorell Council has been granted for a substantial family home to be built on the property. The grounds around the Suites have been attractively and sensitively landscaped, and a netted fenced area enables the growing of produce and keeping of small animals.

Being only 21 minutes from Hobart Airport and 35 minutes from Hobart's CBD, and having the rapidly growing township of Sorell with its supermarket shopping complexes, medical services, shops, cafés and schools a 15 minute drive away, 12 Drovers Rise is in an excellent position: it is a property of great opportunities.
