Surrounded by Tasmania's northeast bushland, 251 Lohreys Road offers a rare opportunity to step away from modern life and embrace a more self-reliant way of living. Spread across approximately 10 hectares, this private hinterland retreat has been thoughtfully established for sustainable living while still enjoying the security of mains power, making it ideal for those seeking a tree change, lifestyle reset or off grid escape.
Recognised by ABC Gardening Australia for its beautiful gardens, the property combines a stunning established landscape with productive vegetable beds and fruit trees, blending visual appeal with a proven foundation for self-sufficient living.
The home itself offers relaxed, rustic charm with light-filled open living, high ceilings and large windows that frame the surrounding landscape. A wood heater anchors the main living area, while the northern aspect fills the space with natural light throughout the day. The layout includes three bedrooms plus an additional living area that could easily serve as a home office or fourth bedroom.
The timber kitchen is full of character, with generous preparation space and a practical country feel, perfect for homegrown produce and slow living. It features a gas stove and a working Everhot wood stove, offering flexible cooking options to suit any season or preference. Outside, a sun-drenched deck provides a peaceful place to unwind after a day spent tending the gardens or exploring the property. From here, enjoy the stunning private views of Huntsmans Cap, one of the region's most enchanting natural backdrops.
Infrastructure is well catered for, with multiple outbuildings and a newly added shed offering excellent storage, workshop space or room for future projects. There's space for chooks, room to expand the gardens, and plenty of land to continue shaping your own sustainable vision.
Infrastructure has been carefully designed for independence. Water storage totals approximately 60,000 litres, gravity fed to the home from tanks positioned on the hill. A dam supplies garden water via a pump, allowing irrigation without drawing on house water, while a dedicated garden tank ensures separation between domestic and dam supply. Additional pressure pumps support upstairs amenities and garden sprinklers, providing flexibility across the property.
Power is supplied via two solar systems: a brand new 7.5kW setup with 18 panels and a Fronius inverter, complemented by a secondary 1.5kW system, with mains power also connected to the property for additional peace of mind. Starlink internet is currently in place, delivering strong connectivity despite the secluded setting.
Privacy comes naturally here, with no close neighbours and nothing but birdsong and bushland. Despite the sense of remoteness, St Marys is close by for schooling, services and the hospital, Launceston Airport is around 90 minutes by car, and the white sand beaches of Scamander, Falmouth and Four Mile Beach are approximately 30 minutes away. The spectacular South Sister lookout is also within easy reach, offering one of the region's most impressive panoramic views.
This is not a conventional lifestyle property. It's a place to reset, reconnect and live differently. Whether you're seeking an off-grid retreat, a creative hideaway or a resilient base for self-sufficient living, 251 Lohreys Road offers the space, infrastructure and freedom to do exactly that.
A rare opportunity to secure a truly self-sustaining lifestyle in Tasmania's beautiful northeast.
