For Sale By Owner: Lot 307 (AU$83,000)
At a time when affordable land and tiny homes are becoming both an economic necessity and increasingly attractive way to live, Tiny Lot 7 (TL7 as it is fondly known), is being offered for sale in an active ecovillage in Southern Tasmania.
Lot 307 (177m²), in Pod C of the Tasman Ecovillage, Nubeena, (tasmanecovillage.org.au), Tasmania, is a strata title holding with Body Corporate ownership also in Lot 0 (common land and infrastructure: water, roads, gardens, orchards and kitchen, exercise room with gym and including sauna, meeting rooms and other communal areas including BBQ and children’s play area).
Lot 307 is in the quieter corner of the ecovillage, overlooking common land down in the gully where the creek runs year round. There are ocean glimpses out over the bay, a walking track down into Nubeena and access to the wilder parts of the ecovillage and out into the hills of the Tasman Peninsula (Tarakana).
A portable, recycled shipping container (6m x 2.4m), well insulated with sliding picture windows at either end (north facing at one end), southern overlooking the gully common land, with wooden lined interior and front deck is part of the infrastructure on Lot 307. Two portable sheds (3m x 1.5m) with insulated flooring provide an extension to the container, either for storage or as a galley. Other infrastructure includes 2 bays with active compost generation, mains electricity to a box on the lot and running water ready to be piped on site. A 5000L water tank, guttering and other building materials are ready to be used on the lot and are also included in the price.
At the moment, TL7 is to be sold as is, including furniture. This gives the opportunity for the buyer to move in directly or rent the property out immediately. Any permanent building requires local planning permission from Tasman Council and the Body Corporate for any permanent structures that are to be built. A hardcore driveway to TL7 and levelled parking area for a van is currently on the site and the lot has a stand of beautiful native trees and bushes in the middle of it, giving privacy, shade from sun, shelter from wind and a natural aspect. Currently, over half the lot is open and not built upon, giving scope to extend the container studio or build something more permanent.
Fruit trees and bushes are planted on the lot with the vision of a forest garden. TL7 was chosen because of its proximity to the shared community garden, where a goodly proportion of vegetables and fruit, chickens and flowering plants are being grown. There is use of a large hothouse for all year growing in the community garden and compost heaps for soil generation. Residents are encouraged to join in with the garden group and assist with food production.
