The sandstone coloured homestead on Mt Baines is perfectly situated. It has panoramic views over Craigbourne Dam and yet is nicely nestled under a bank to protect it from the prevailing winds. It’s also walking distance from an excellent shearing shed and associated facilities. This would be an ideal home for a couple with young children to grow up in a rural environment only 40 minutes from Hobart. It is complemented by a paved courtyard and an in- ground swimming pool. The colonial style house has a North-Easterley aspect and is very livable. The house is 34 squares and has five bedrooms.The farm is very easy care as a lot of effort has been put into planning the layout to minimise the labour requirement. The farm is presently run with quarter of a labour unit. The healthy volcanic soils help as the sheep stay clean and healthy. Up to 6000DSE have been run on Mt Baines. Four thousand trees have been planted for shelter and to aid in controlling wind erosion.The farm has five kilometres of frontage to the Craigbourne Dam which is regularly stocked with salmon and various breeds of trout and is a popular fishing lake, especially early in the season when the central plateau is too cold. The farm also has double frontage to the Coal River which has water flowing down it except in extreme dry conditions. There are some nice sloping areas which look frost free, right next to the river. No water comes with the property but some may become available soon.
