1098 Collins Cap Road MOLESWORTH TAS

Space, Privacy & A Dream Shed

When the current owners first stepped onto this property, they weren’t looking for perfection—they were looking for potential. They wanted a place close enough to Hobart for work and convenience, yet far enough away to feel the quiet of the bush again. They found it here: A 1980s build with good bones, acres of space, and the kind of tranquility you only find in the foothills of Kunanyi/Mt Wellington.

Over the years, they’ve poured themselves into making this property something special. The home itself has been gently modernised with a fresh kitchen and bathroom—functional, comfortable, and ready for singles, couples, or even a young family to enjoy. Sitting at the breakfast bar by the fire, or stepping onto the balcony to watch the morning mist drift through the valley, has become part of their daily rhythm.

But the heart of this property isn’t just the house—it’s the dream shed. Purpose-built with a professional electrical system, a 15-amp outlet, and a slab section ready for a hoist, it’s a workshop that inspires possibility. Whether it’s cars, trucks, boats, or big projects, this 140m² space is designed for work, play, and ambition.

Beyond the shed, life spills outdoors. The orchard, thoughtfully planted with pears, figs, nectarines, plums, apricots, persimmons, and pomegranates, is still young but already promising years of harvests ahead. Citrus trees—grafted oranges, lemon, lime—along with mulberry and others, are set to thrive thanks to underground watering. Around the garden, the bush provides a living soundtrack: kookaburras in the morning, wallabies at dusk, eagles riding the thermals overhead.

There are small details here that make everyday life richer. A waterfall feature by the outdoor bath that switches on at the touch of a button. Double-glazed windows in the main room to hold in the warmth. Starlink internet, ready to keep you connected without compromise. A steep walk up the back boundary rewards you with sweeping views. And when it’s time to explore beyond home, Wellington Park, Myrtle Forest, Jefferys Track, and Tasmania’s west coast wilderness are close by.

For the owners, this has been their first home—where they renovated, planted, dreamed, and built memories. Now, they’re passing it on. The shed will speak to the next tinkerer, the orchard to the next gardener, and the bush setting to anyone who values peace, privacy, and space to live freely—all just 30–40 minutes from Hobart.

1098 Collins Cap Road isn’t a polished showpiece. It’s better than that. It’s an honest, lived-in property, one that carries the care of its owners and is ready for the next chapter.
