Private bushland setting just minutes from the CBD

It is exceptionally rare to find a property that offers genuine privacy, a bushland setting and over a hectare of land, all within minutes of the Hobart CBD. Set across 1.12 hectares of established native bushland, 192 Forest Road delivers exactly that.

Positioned alongside the Knocklofty Reserve and surrounded by extensive bushland, the home enjoys an exceptionally private setting with nature quite literally at the doorstep. With walking trails, native wildlife and expansive protected reserve land bordering the property, it's a rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful environment where the landscape is unlikely to change.

Despite this sense of seclusion, the location remains remarkably convenient. Hobart's CBD is just 10 minutes away, while the cafes and restaurants of North Hobart, quality local schools, shopping and everyday amenities are all within easy reach. It's an outstanding combination of privacy, natural surrounds and city convenience that is rarely found so close to the heart of Hobart.

Designed over multiple split levels, the floorplan separates the home's living and accommodation spaces. Three bedrooms are positioned on the entry level, with the master bedroom featuring its own ensuite and the remaining bedrooms serviced by the main bathroom. Downstairs, a generous living room with a wood heater opens directly onto a large timber deck, while the upper level is dedicated to the kitchen, dining and family area, extending onto a second deck overlooking the surrounding bushland.

The home has been designed to take advantage of its setting, with outdoor spaces positioned to capture the natural surrounds from every level. Combined with the substantial landholding, the result is a property that offers a level of privacy and outlook that is exceptionally difficult to find this close to the city.
