Default What to do with Eucalyptus tree

I have moved into a house with a Eucalyptus tree which is in a completely
unsuitable position. I really like the look of this plant and would like to
move it but don't know if that's feasible, and am wondering what my options
are.

The tree is about 20-25 ft tall, and in a very awkward and unsuitable
location - more of an outdoor utility area than planted garden, surrounded
on 2 sides by a fence and on a another side by a compost heap with probably
no more that 1-2 ft space between the tree and each of these obstacles.
The main tree trunk is about 4-5 inches thick but its quite bent from having
been supported by too thin a tree post.

It can't really stay where it is. Do you think I any chance of moving it?
How would I do that? I've heard that if chopped the trunk will eventually
sprout new branches sideways rather than growing taller. Is that a feasible
option?

Thanks

Andrew
