An opportunity now exists to acquire this hidden oasis, set amidst undulating hills on approx. 41 hectares featuring magnificent views.

It's now time for others to enjoy Base Camp: an enviable, peaceful and tranquil lifestyle in a beautiful home, coupled with income potential.
Entering this home, you know it is truly something special: showcasing a flexible floorplan designed for family living with free-flowing interiors and multiple living areas including a study, multiple heating options (including a heat pump) ensure year-round comfort. The kitchen will impress any home chef with a large gas/electric cooker, pantry and plenty of cupboard and bench space. Comprising 3 bedrooms all with built-ins, master bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite, a central family bathroom, separate outside office, NBN and Satellite TV. This amazing property is approx. 13km to New Norfolk's busy shopping precinct plus Derwent Valley attractions, and a further 50 km to Hobart's CBD. Many of Tasmania's best hiking regions are close by, as well as water sports and cultural experiences.
Base Camp Tasmania offers year-round eco-friendly accommodation options in a forest as well as habitat for native wildlife (pademelons, bennetts wallabies, echidnas, wombats, spotted quolls, Tasmanian devils, brushtail possums) and many bird species. Shortly after establishing this "forest retreat", Base Camp owners were registered as Wildlife Carers with the Parks and Wildlife Service's Orphaned and Injured Wildlife Program. Base Camp has since invested heavily in infrastructure for the care of orphaned wildlife and their rehabilitation and return to the bush. Additionally a Conservation Covenant was granted over 38 ha of the property to ensure the ongoing protection of its natural values.
