Tourism, Accommodation or Both

Positioned within the heart of the iconic Highlands township of Poatina, the former Poatina School House offers an opportunity to secure a substantial holding with the scale, flexibility and affordability sought by tourism operators, accommodation providers and visionary developers.

Set on a generous 5,749sqm parcel of land, this unique property comprises two separate former school buildings, each offering approximately 260sqm of internal floor area. Rarely does a property present such a versatile foundation for adaptive reuse, whether as boutique accommodation, a backpacker lodge, group accommodation facility, wellness retreat, training centre, artist residency, event venue or tourism hub (STCA).

One of the buildings has been recently renovated, providing an excellent starting point for immediate occupation or further development, while the second building offers significant potential for refurbishment and repurposing to suit a purchaser's vision.

Adding to the appeal is a substantial sealed bitumen car park, capable of accommodating guests, visitors, tour groups, campervans or operational vehicles. The property's practical layout and multiple buildings provide flexibility rarely found in properties within this price bracket.

Situated within the Village Zone under the Tasmanian Planning Scheme, the site benefits from zoning that supports a broad range of potential residential, commercial, tourism and community uses, subject to the necessary approvals.

Poatina itself continues to emerge as one of Tasmania's hidden destination locations. Surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of the Central Highlands and ideally positioned between the Great Lakes, Northern Midlands and the famous Western Tiers, the township attracts anglers, cyclists, bushwalkers, touring groups and travellers seeking an authentic Tasmanian experience.
