6B Hedley Court, Geilston Bay TAS 7015, Australia
The property sits on a 728 m² parcel of land. It is a standalone house on this sizable lot.
The house is roughly 0.3 km (about a few hundred metres) from the Geilston Bay suburb centre, placing it within easy walking distance of the Geilston Bay Boat Club and its slipways on the bay.
Yes, the Geilston Bay fossil site – a nationally significant Late Oligocene/Early Miocene locality – lies within about 0.5 km of the house, offering easy access to the historic palaeontological area.
Geilston Bay was once home to limestone quarries and lime kilns that operated from the 1830s until the early‑20th century, supplying lime for Hobart’s early building works and later providing limestone to the Electrolytic Zinc Company.
The residence is close to several bushland areas, including Natone Hill Reserve, Pilchers Hill Reserve, and the smaller Thoona and Lindhill Bushland Reserves, offering walking tracks and scenic views.
Soil testing in the region has identified elevated levels of zinc, lead and cadmium in the topsoil, originating from historic emissions of the nearby Risdon Zinc Works (Nyrstar Hobart). Residents are advised to use clean soil for home‑grown vegetables.
