Off-Grid Wilderness Cabin Close to the City

Just 30 minutes from Hobart in the Coal River Valley wine region, Arden Retreat is a serene escape on 140 acres of rolling hills and working farmland. The property boasts a preserved bushland of Tasmanian Blue and Peppermint Gums, alongside pastoral landscapes where sheep graze and chickens roam free. The Croft, a secluded two-bedroom cabin crafted from Blue Gum timber harvested on-site, feels like a world away from the city.

Unwind in a wood-fired hot tub, cosy up by the outdoor fireplace, or bask in the sun on a day bed with your favourite read. Stroll through the expansive wilderness, indulge in leisurely deck lunches, and savour a pantry stocked with homemade jams, chutney, fresh eggs, and local delights like sourdough, wine, and gin.
