Secluded weekender in the Tasmanian high country for $260k

Snow, solitude and a self-sufficient lifestyle are among the attractions of a remote Tasmanian property that will allow its new owners to completely escape the rat race.

Named Radavistcha, the Central Highlands home comes fully furnished, as the owner-occupier and his dog are relocating to warmer climes.

However, the cool climate and snow are a major attraction for many who seek to live or holiday in this part of Tasmania, says rural and residential real estate agent Nick Hay of Howell Property Group.

“A lot of people relocate to the high country for escapism and to be a bit of a recluse,” he says.

“Some people enjoy that lifestyle and want to get away from it and enjoy the peace and quiet and flora and fauna.”

Beyond the quiet pace of life, there are many activities for locals and visitors to enjoy.

“Activities include trout fishing, but if you’re not into [that], people do like to secure properties for the snow as it’s close to 1200 metres above sea level,” Howell says.

“Bushwalking is awfully popular, so is twitching, as there’s plenty of bird life, and enjoying the wildlife.”

The three-bedroom Colorbond home was built in 1981 and has been improved over time, with the vendor increasing water storage and installing a solar system to live off-grid during his eight-year tenure.

The main house has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen-dining zone and two living areas with views over the Great Lake.

Adjoining the house is a private bedroom, living area and toilet, providing extra accommodation or separate sleeping quarters.

The property also has a greenhouse and several sheds to store vehicles and boats.

The 5630-square-metre parcel of land is among a small group of properties on the outskirts of Doctors Point.

The nearest township is Miena, a 35-minute drive away with a service station/general store, while Deloraine offers a greater variety of services a 45-minute drive away along the Highland Lakes Road.

The property at 9 Johnstone Road, Doctors Point, TAS, is available via private inspection and sale.
