Enjoy your stay? Fancy a slice of Tasmania near Hobart? Our Granton subdivision of 81.85 hectares is for sale so we can buy more short term rental properties.
The subdivision has some 70 ha of broad acre land left in two large titles together with 5 unsold lots worth around $ 80,000 - $ 100,000 on average each. It boasts some of the best views in the northern suburbs, is only ten minutes from Glenorchy, and when Gillies road opens will be even closer.
The land is situated along Granton Heights Road on the northern side of Blacksnake Lane Granton about 1.5 Km from the Brooker Highway that comes all the way from central Hobart. Blacksnake Lane is the last turnoff on the left before you get to the Bridge at Granton when travelling in a northerly direction from Glenorchy.
The area is zoned rural and rural residential with already subdivided allotments of no less than 1 hectare with title. We expect that the balance will be subdividable soon; you will however need to check with the Glenorchy council.
Now you can have some of the last land that will be available as larger allotments close to Glenorchy.

Subdivision and Quarry Stone
The property has some excellent stone on it and we were going to quarry and sell it to the contractors who take on rebuilding the Bridgewater bridge which is close by. As we built roads we would design them with excess cut for this purpose. Subdividing in this way would substantially increase profit. The Bridgwater bridge reconstruction project has been an election promise for some time!
