  Description

  Come and enjoy a beautiful bush property in the Huon Valley. More than half of our 100-acre property is covered in native bush, with pristine views across the Huon River. We share the place with plenty of wildlife, including wombats, wallabies, pademelons, Tasmanian devils, echidnas, bandicoots and more. There’s also a small flock of sheep and a couple of chooks happily roaming around the property.
  
  Our garden, with its fruit trees and many berries, is a lovely spot to sit back and enjoy the sunset.
  
  We, Michael and Ina, are 38 and have built a little house tucked away in the bush. It's a short walk up the hill to get there, but once you arrive, you’ll have all the comforts of a cosy off-grid home: a hot shower, a warm living room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen and, of course, amazing views.
  
  When we’re not building, gardening or working on one of our many projects, we enjoy hiking, camping, mountain biking and snowboarding.
  
  We’d love to welcome you to the Waldhäuschen (German for “little forest house”) and, in return, have you lend us a hand with a few odd jobs around the property. There’s always something happening here, and we’re happy to share our little corner of the Huon Valley with you.
  
  Franklin is a charming little township in the Huon Valley, with cafés, a few restaurants and beautiful walks along the foreshore and through the Franklin Forest (magnificent old growth forest). It’s also a great base for exploring further into southern Tasmania.
