With views across the waters of Port Esperance, this gently sloping block, only one street back from the bay, is waiting to be built upon. Situated on the outskirts of the township, it is in a prime position to take advantage of Dover's nearby facilities, whilst having the tranquillity of the natural landscape as its outlook.
This larger than average block is 2,216 m2 with a gradual slope towards the bay, enabling views across the foreground to the water beyond. One of the great advantages of this block of land is that much of the planning and red tape have already been undertaken. A contour and feature survey has been completed along with a certificate for soil classification, plus a fully engineered drawing for a driveway from Chapman Avenue to a proposed house site. The property also has a Huon Valley Council DA approval with architect drawings for a two bedroom house, as well as for a two door 6m x 12m shed with an attached carport. Because of the ample size of this block, there is plenty of room for recreational activities, whether they be for children playing, outdoor entertaining areas, or landscaping for gardening purposes.
Located south of the Huon Valley, Dover is approximately 80 kms from Hobart, just over an hour's scenic drive between rolling hills and along valleys, through native bushland and farmland where much of Tasmania's apple and timber industries originated. Dover also has many local facilities: there is the Southgate Shopping Centre, local shops plus a Post Office, Dover District School including Years 11 and 12; the Dover Medical Centre; and recreational facilities such as the local RSL, to say nothing of the fishing, boating and other water activities available virtually on the doorstep. It is also the heart of the southern tourism, fishing and timber industries of Tasmania. Being an access point to the beautiful Hartz Mountains National Park and the ever-popular Tahune Airwalk, Dover is a gateway to all that the 'Far South of Tasmania' has to offer, including the intriguing Hastings Caves and nearby thermal springs, and to Cockle Creek, the most southern road access point in Australia where treks into the South West National Park begin. 16 Chapman Avenue, with its generous land size and scenic aspect is well placed to take advantage of all that Dover and the surrounding natural environment has to offer.
