ABOUT  30 kilometres east of Oatlands in the tightly held Midlands region, Goat Gully /Old Hut Hill presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial private landholding of about 1,194.51 hectares combining productive grazing country, significant natural assets, and outstanding long-term potential.

The property comprises a balanced mix of about 100 hectares of improved pasture which accompanies the kind of native grassland/open bush grazing country that renowned colonial artist John Glover painted. 

Well suited as a strategic addition to an existing fine wool operation, a large-scale wether run, or a diversified livestock enterprise, the holding offers both immediate agricultural utility and considerable scope for future enhancement. Set within a landscape of rolling grazing country, native woodland and sheltered valleys, the property enjoys a remarkable sense of scale and seclusion while remaining less than 1.5 hours from Hobart and a similar distance to Launceston. 

Access throughout the holding is exceptional, with an extensive network of all-weather gravel roads and internal tracks established during previous forestry operations, providing year-round accessibility across the property. Improved internal and boundary fencing further supports efficient livestock management. 

Water is a significant feature of the holding. Several dams and natural waterholes are distributed throughout the property, while both Eastern Marshes Rivulet and Boomer Rivulet traverse the land, presenting numerous opportunities for the development of substantial water storage infrastructure, subject to the necessary approvals. A comfortable one-bedroom weekender provides immediate accommodation and serves as an ideal base for managing the property, weekend retreats, or future development plans. 

The natural attributes of Goat Gully/Old Hut Hill are equally impressive. The property supports abundant native wildlife and birdlife, including at least two known nesting sites of Tasmania’s iconic wedge-tailed eagle. Extensive stands of regenerating and maturing timber provide both landscape appeal and future commercial potential through pulpwood and sawlog harvesting. In addition, thousands of tonnes of standing dry timber offer immediate practical value as a substantial firewood resource.
