The Property
The property spans ninety-six acres of private land on the lower slopes of kunanyi / Mount Wellington, in Fern Tree, Tasmania. It is surrounded by other large private holdings, creating a sense of quiet seclusion while still being within reach of Hobart.
A conservation covenant protects most of the land, ensuring it remains permanently preserved in its natural state. This commitment means the landscape is held primarily for conservation, allowing native vegetation, wildlife, and natural processes to continue with minimal intervention. For guests, it is part of a broader intention: to offer a stay that exists within nature, rather than apart from it.
Within the property, several distinct native vegetation communities unfold across the terrain. Walking tracks move through open, sloping forest with sweeping, uninterrupted views toward kunanyi from higher points, before transitioning into denser bushland where the sense of civilisation disappears entirely. Along the creek, promenalinah / Browns River, the landscape becomes deeply enclosed and still - a place where it is easy to feel removed from any nearby presence.
Wildlife is part of daily life here. Guests will hear a wide range of native birdlife and may occasionally encounter wallabies, pademelons, possums, and other native species moving quietly through the landscape. While there are no guarantees of wildlife encounters, the presence of native animals is a quiet and regular part of life on the land.
Despite its sense of remoteness, the property sits within a semi-rural fringe of Hobart, tucked away from the road with neighbouring properties largely hidden by vegetation and distance. From certain vantage points, a few homes can be seen on nearby ridgelines, but the overwhelming impression is one of privacy and separation from built environments.
On some days the valley opens fully, revealing expansive views across to kunanyi / Mount Wellington. On others, mist moves through the landscape and gradually obscures everything beyond the trees, leaving only shifting light, cloud and forest.
It is a place shaped by contrast. Open and enclosed, elevated and sheltered, close to the city yet held in deep quiet. Designed for guests who want access to nature without sacrificing comfort or ease.
