279 Mayberry Road

Mayberry TAS 7304

The property has road frontage to Mayberry Rd, a sealed road maintained by Meander Valley Council. From the entrance gate, a track runs across the paddock to the hut. The hut is constructed from timber with a corrugated iron roof and is currently maintained and used for overnight accommodation by a caving group.
An area of about 1ha including the hut and track will not be included in the covenant and will be available for use by the owner, however any proposal to build on the land will require the approval of the Meander Valley Council. The land is zoned Rural within Karst Area and Council has certified a draft amendment to their planning scheme that significantly changes the provisions relating to the use and development of land in the Rural zone. Subject to this approval this portion of the land might be used for a residence, horticulture or some form of tourist development
