1668 Arthur Highway

On the Arthur Highway just beyond the Primrose Sands turn off on your way to Copping is this wonderfully diversified expansive rural holding over three titles with multiple access points and the Carlton River through and at the south eastern boundary. The land is varied from dry open forest high country to fertile river flat basin ideal for returning to fertile grazing on sandy loam soils from the current regrowth of expansive pine plantation. The property sits in an advantage location benefitting from mixed weather sytems that provide an average 750mm annual rainfall. Other residual Niten plantation exists among open banks, there is considerable native bush hillsides, natural riparian river and creek beds, a protected native forest reserve and open grasslands all connected by a sound network of gravel roads and tracks constructed from onsite gravel resource that may have significant potential commercial value. Previously contracted as an intensively managed and harvesting forestry block, there is opportunity to manage the regrowth of the previous plantation resources. Other potential extraction resources of loam and sand may also be worth serious assessment. The rear boundary to the south backs to the recent lifestyle acreage subdivision development of Drovers Run and further similar allotments may be able to be created (stca) from this rural resource zoned allotment. The property is definitely a mixed use property with potential for an exceptional lifestyle residence allotment taking advantage of the onsite resources with end markets for the timber resource at sound levels of return across more than one market pipeline option.

The property mix is currently estimated as follows:-
Approximately 26 ha of conservation covenant
Approximately 155 ha of open native grass grazing
Approximately 60 ha of open bush and river side native vegetation
Approximately 50 ha of remaining stands of Eucalyptus Nitens
Approximately 210 ha of what was fire affected pine plantation that has regenerate with need to manage thinning for future harvest if not returned to quality pasture now instead of managing for timber.
The balance (approximately 185 Ha) is road networks, creeks & river beds, native bushland, hill lines, gravel quarry and loam beds.

The property will surely have a broad appeal and is a unique quality parcel rarely available to market let alone this close to serviced centres such as Sorell and commuting distance to Hobart and beach side locations of Dunalley, Primrose Sands Connellys Marsh and so on all within ten minutes estimated travel distance. The fact that the Carlton River winds through the property, past exposed rock faces and wet scrub banks, adds ambience and is reason for an abundance of native wildlife.
