Built in the 1890s, Brooklands is a comfortable rambling five-bedroom farmhouse with graveled pathways, extensive lawns under beautiful shady trees and a cottage garden with David Austin roses and hedges. Construction is weatherboard with timber window frames and galvanised iron roof. Internal linings are timber and plasterboard and the timber floor is either carpeted or polished floor boards. Open fireplaces and a wood heater in the kitchen together with under-floor bathroom heating are a feature.
The residence is quite large and ideal for family occupation. However, the ideal location in the centre of the Tasman Peninsula lends itself to development as an accommodation hub for a multi-day Three Capes coast walking experience or as a B&B accommodation facility - either for a live-in couple or for the whole premises to be converted for tourism use.
The vendors have explored this possibility and plans have been drawn up by Arcmee Design Services for this purpose. Importantly these plans have been approved by the local Tasman Council.
A new $30,000 fully approved BioCycle sewerage system was installed in January 2021 to cater for any such expansion.
The property is situated in the township of Taranna, about 1 hour (89 km) south east of Hobart and 10 km from Port Arthur Historic Site - Tasmania's No. 1 tourist attraction. It is centrally located to the new Three Capes walking trails, the famed Shipstern Bluff surfing break, numerous beaches and renowned coastal formations such as the Tessellated Pavement and Tasman Arch at Eaglehawk Neck.
The adjoining Tasmanian Devil Unzoo was once a farm and orchard, and some of the pear trees are still evident. Over time, much effort was spent into regenerating the park back into its current format of bush, native gardens and wildlife habitats. The boundary fences have been removed so that the natural landscape becomes part of the environment. Animals come and go as they please (no doubt by regular feeding). There is a platform at the rear of the property which adjoins Norfolk Bay where Sea Eagles can often be seen.
Centrally located to the new Three Capes walking trails, the famed Shipstern Bluff surfing break, numerous beaches and renowned coastal formations such as the Tessellated Pavement and Tasman Arch at Eaglehawk Neck and Remarakable Cave to the south. The property also sits right on the edge of the magnificent sailing and fishing waters of the protected Norfolk Bay.
Included for sale with the farmhouse is the adjoining Tasmanian Devil Unzoo which is one of Tasmania's most outstanding tourist attractions.
First time offered for sale in 42 years, this outstanding tourist attraction is a global leader in shaping the way zoos evolve in the 21st century by creating a model wildlife and nature experience of the future.
The large park includes extensive bushland, wildlife habitats, a native botanic garden with native orchid reserve, a cafe, visitor centre and farmhouse residence with idyllic country lifestyle and potential as a Three Capes walking lodge or B&B.
Both properties are available together with the business and for sale by Expressions of Interest.
