The Deep Hole

The ‘Deep Hole’ block is a unique, 60 acre bush property bordering one of the largest swimming holes on Tasmania’s stunning East Coast. It offers unparalleled opportunity to acquire a special part of this beautiful State rarely found outside national parks and reserves. It is ideal for an astute buyer seeking to invest in a timeless natural asset. Natural riverine properties of this uniqueness are seldom up for sale!

The property, with approximately one kilometre of river frontage, including a large permanent body of water on a river bend gazetted as the 'Deep Hole', lies within the spectacular Little Swanport River gorge. The ‘Deep Hole’ is heated by water travelling over shallow rocks upstream making it ideal for swimming throughout summer and autumn. Temperatures in the mid-20's are not unusual! It is also the home to a variety of freshwater fish that live permanently within this section of river.

A major feature of the property is its solitude and privacy. It is one of two properties embedded within the large Butler's Ridge Conservation Reserve and is accessible via a 4 wheel drive, fire trail located a few kilometres from the Tasman Highway. The terrain is largely flat to gently sloping with numerous possible camp sites near and overlooking the river. The property virtually becomes your own private national park for family and friends to enjoy. It allows close access to the major east coast towns of Orford, Maria Island, Swansea, Coles Bay, and Bicheno. The property can also be accessed through a locked gate at Swanston Road from the other side of the river providing access to the midlands highway at Oatlands.

The block is ideal for nature lovers and enthusiasts who enjoy 4wd, camping, swimming, fishing, bush walking, bird observation, and has a rich assemblage of native plants and other wildlife. It has a healthy population of the uncommon Spotted Quail Thrush as well as several plants species not common elsewhere.

The property access is in very rugged condition and is suited to experienced 4 wheel drivers.
