A one-of-a-kind home called Bits ‘N’ Pieces in a tiny rural town has hit the market for a tiny price.

Occupying just 35 square metres on an 850 square metre block, the home consists of a combined lounge room and bedroom, along with a kitchen and dining area. There is no bathroom or toilet, as an original example of a highlands hut.

Set amongst native bushland, the weatherboard home is being sold “as is, where is”. The 2016 Census revealed Doctors Point has a population of just five, offering the utmost in privacy.

The interiors are basic, but charming additions remain, including the fireplace and wood-panelled walls.

Hay states on the listing that the property is ideal for a renovation or could be knocked down to make way for a dream build, subject to council approval.

Doctors Point is a rural area in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania. It’s known to be one of the best fishing spots for trout.
