Fresh Air, Mountain Views and a Stream. Live Off Grid or with Power.
Set near the quiet little town of Avoca is this amazing property. 72 acres of land with so much diversity that it is hard to believe.
Several acres of flat land, high peaks with amazing mountain & valley views, a running creek that spills into a dam, and an abundance of native animal and bird life. Add to this the peace and quiet offered by silence that is interrupted only by the sounds of nature. Less than 100 metres down the road from the South Esk River which is famous for its abundance of trout and is excellent for kayaking and swimming. Once you are here you will not want to leave.
The zoning allows for a tourism business, B&B, or residence. It is in a unique position, offering tourism potential, with great walking tracks and allowing for Environmental Micro Cabins STCA. Electricity can be connected from the front of the block, or you can go completely Off-Grid.
The ambiance of the property is that of almost Zen-style natural landscaping. The natural elements of hills, trenches, gullies, and the seasonal creek are enhanced by hand-made artistic constructions and hand-built roadways, which allow access to most of the 29.59ha paradise. The pond is spring-fed and home to platypus and other water life. The property is sparsely timbered amongst granite outcrops.
At the top of the block is a new Colorbond, off-grid cabin with Tas Oak lining. There is no indoor toilet but there is a lovely wood fire to keep you warm in winter, a tank for water, a solar panel and battery for power, and gas hot water for a shower. A fantastic place for holidays or respite. There is also a carport and a separate storage shed. From here you can enjoy stunning views of the mountains whilst relaxing and listening to the birds, or watching the Echidnas, Bennets Wallabies, Wombats, Skinks, and other inhabitants. You may also spot the occasional Dear and Devil.
This block is in an almost horseshoe shape, with 2 large flat sections fronting Leona Road.
