Up for swap/sale is a two story timber home in north-east Tasmania. The house sits on 5 acres (1acre of bush) of land with a perfect north-east aspect,and includes views to the furneaux island group, mainly Flinders island. The house is 3 bedrooms, 1bathroom with open plan living space and includes an old rail parcel van with pot belly stove as a guest room. Features include : Open fire place,extra large industrial rainwater tank as well as town water,spiral stair case,2 sheds, privacy ,old fruit trees and good soil for gardens. The area is the gateway to the renowned Bay of fires beaches ,and is one of the warmest parts of the state. The world class golf courses Barnbougle dunes and Lost Farm are just 50 km away,and you can play there at the discounted local rate. In colonial days tin mining drove the local economy and the area is still popular for fossickers of both gold and precious stones. I am looking to either sell the property(price on application),or swap for a small but tidy house around the southern beaches of Hobart. Preferably Dodges ferry or primrose sands . This area will become the service centre for the exciting $185 Million Musselroe Bay Eco-Tourism Development announced recently(DA approved 21/10/2013).
