18 Mount Road Waratah TAS 7321

Secluded Tarkine Living with Modern Self-Sufficiency

18 Mount Road, Waratah

Nestled within the pristine wilderness of Tasmania’s Tarkine region, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in nature without sacrificing modern comfort. Located on the edge of the historic township of Waratah, 18 Mount Road delivers a lifestyle defined by tranquillity, sustainability, and breathtaking natural surrounds.

Set across two titles totalling approximately 3,590m², the property is positioned amongst native gardens and overlooks Happy Valley, with stunning views toward Valentine’s Peak. From ancient rainforest to winding rivers and waterfalls, the Tarkine quite literally becomes your backyard.

Designed to harmonise with its environment, the home showcases beautiful Tasmanian timbers throughout, including a standout celery top pine staircase with blackwood treads that connects the home with warmth and character. Multiple living zones provide flexibility for families, guests, or creative spaces.

Adding to its versatility, the property includes a self-contained cabin known as the “Tarkine Embassy”, styled to reflect an original miner’s cottage — ideal for guest accommodation, Airbnb potential, or a private retreat. A separate teenage retreat or rumpus room further enhances the usability of the property.

What truly sets this property apart is its focus on energy efficiency and self-sufficient living. A substantial 8.93kW solar system (19 Aiko panels) is paired with a 10kW Fox ESS battery, offering backup capability and the potential to operate off-grid — a rare and valuable feature in today’s market.

Comfort is assured year-round with a Mitsubishi Electric heat pump (9.0kW cooling / 10.3kW heating) in the main residence, complemented by a 7kW Fujitsu heat pump in the cottage. The home also features gas hot water and cooktop, along with an electric oven for convenience.

Outdoors, the lifestyle continues with manicured gardens, established herb beds ready to harvest, and two water tanks, supporting a more sustainable way of living.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape, a lifestyle change, or an income-generating opportunity in one of Tasmania’s most iconic regions, this is a property that delivers on every level.
