In Tasmania, there’s an opportunity for those who love to be surrounded with nature to pick up their very own slice of the Apple Isle for an affordable price, but there’s a catch.
Buyers who want to pick up land through Tasmania Land Conservancy, some of which is listed for sale for as little as $20,000, need to impress Leigh Walters.
The self-described “least friendly real estate agent” in Australia, Mr Walters said those who purchase the property needed to be serious about conservation.

“If you rang me today, I’d ask you what your price point was and what sort of [environmental] values you’re looking for,” he said. “Do you want coastal land, do you want mountain land, how much space do you require for your domestic situation and then I’d point you to a property that matches those features.”
Some of the blocks for sale now are lakeside, nestled in the mountains or on smaller islands surrounding Tasmania.
