CURRAWONG LAKES fly fishing retreat is one of those ‘only in Tassie’ type of property opportunities.
Located in Tasmania’s Eastern Tiers, the 778ha property has so much to offer, including well-appointed accommodation and state-of-the-art catering facilities for functions.
Its trio of lakes — Lake Currawong, Long Marsh Lake and Lake Macquarie — are abundant with rainbow and brown trout.
Fly fishers visit the property from interstate or overseas, drawn to the natural beauty and charm of the Tasmanian landscape.
A 600-strong free-ranging registered deer herd graze the entire property, secured with specialty fencing.
A previous owner of Currawong Lakes established the world-class Beretta sporting clay target shooting range, originally built to Olympic-grade standards for practice ahead of competitions.
The state-of-the-art facility attracts sportsmen and neighbouring Midlands farmers alike.
