Privately nestled at the foot of lush, undulating mountains and entirely enveloped in a pristine natural environment are four architecturally designed treehouses, a central reception area/manager's residence as well as a separate games room/library that collectively make up the thriving boutique accommodation business 'Aquila Eco Lodges'.
Located within close proximity to a local township that is capable of providing turn services as well as the re-stocking of consumables, Aquila is being sold on a walk-in/walk-out basis allowing for immediate ROI for the astute investor or operator seeking to live where they work whilst experiencing a world famous tourist destination.
Accredited by Eco Tourism Australia, Aquila is a regional retreat that has been purposely built and runs in line with principles of sustainable living, aiming for minimal impact on the environment. Furthermore, the property has won numerous awards and is covenanted with Trust for Nature and accredited with Advanced Ecotourism Australia.
Renowned for its sympathetic construction and sustainable practices, Aquila is named after the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle that frequent the natural environment and intentionally incorporates low-wattage appliances, captures solar energy across 48 batteries (inclusive of a generator on-site for backup), has passive heating and cooling, with construction materials having been carefully selected for their sensitivity to the environment in an ode to ecotourism.
Located on the slope of towering Mount Abrupt, the Lofthouses and Treehouses are set in their own secluded area, surrounded by idyllic dense bushland and wildlife.
Further features include:
- Each treehouse is equipped with a sprinkler system that can run for up to half an hour plus fire hoses
- Dedicated water supply of 100,000 to 200,000L specifically for fire hazard management

- Scenic patios with outdoor furniture and BBQs
Currently generating nearly $200,000 in revenue with very little oversight and overheads, this established, profitable business with immense scope to grow awaits the next custodian of its important legacy.
