Owned by a local family for many years, beef cattle have been the history of the farm but it would be equally suited to prime lamb production or follow what the neighbours do, grow magnificent fruit (predominately apples, pears and cherries). Spreyton has played a significant part of history in the horticultural industry of Tasmania. Grapes could have a future’ here!
The total area of “Castle Node” is 119.43 hectares (295 acres) which is predominately north sloping paddock country. The views from the high ground are expansive, offering spectacular house sites (STCA), looking out to Bass Strait over the mouth of the Mersey River. There is good access from Tarleton Road as a central laneway services all agricultural land. Livestock water is from dams and troughs. The property is also connected to town water. The gentle terrain provides natural water runoff for irrigation storage in a large dam (3 phases power connected to pump house). A small area was planted in Eucalypts amongst native bush on the southern end of the farm.
A second, smaller title encompasses a well maintained weatherboard Federation home. The renovated house benefits from modern kitchen, 3 bathrooms, floor coverings and heating.

The location of the property is within close proximity to the City of Devonport (airport), Latrobe, livestock markets, abattoirs, shipping, hospitals, schools and only one hours drive to Launceston.
