This is a fabulous opportunity to secure an organically managed farm in pristine Southern Tasmania. Comprising of almost 100 acres, approximately 94 acres (38 hectares), on 4 separate titles, this farm offers a multitude of opportunities with a good mix of rich improved pasture, good areas of roughage, tall timbers, multiple accesses, huge shedding, a massive old cool storage, a large comfortable farm house with lovely gardens and all of this positioned in a picturesque valley near the local golf course and under 50 minutes from the Hobart CBD.
Currently running highly awarded cattle, the farm has had a colourful past with activities ranging from apple orchards to highly successful tulip fields. There are invaluable water rights directly out of the Kermandie River, with own pipe-line feeding pristine mountain water up to the paddocks.
Opportunities in the region are plentiful. The Huon Valley has recently been awarded the top prize for its quality production of local produce. The astute farmer will be able to plant cherries, berries, cut-flowers, or run stock, such as cattle, sheep or goats. The region is famous for quality and green managed practices that are widely recognised across Australia and the World.
With loads of sunshine and good levels of rainfall, the potential to be self sufficient is very high. The current owner is happy to share his refined techniques to maintain the farm under an organic farm management practice. The benefits are evident with the results achieved to date.
This offering also has the benefit of being able to be reduced in size with time as the need arises by having the ability to sell off one or more titles, also providing good return on the original purchase. Each title has its own access and with further boundary adjustments (stca), the return should be further maximised. Alternatively, if the need is to have more land, there is the potential to increase the acreage with land adjoining the farm potentially also available now and possibly into the future as the need may be. The farm has been in the family for generations and has grown over the years. There is flexibility here to potentially better suit your needs, requirements and budget.
The farm house has period character and offers a large living area with a functional floor plan. The kitchen is made of Blackwood timber and overlooks the garden. There is all you would expect these days, including the dishwasher. The dining is open plan to the kitchen and also offers a built in breakfast bench. The lounge is accessed from either the kitchen or the dining and is also sizable with the option of a lovely open fireplace. Alternatively all year round comfort is assured with the reverse cycle air-conditioner and also a wall mounted electric heater. Down the hallway are the bedrooms. The 2 front rooms are a good size and have lovely period features. The 3rd bedroom has dual access from the bathroom or kitchen and overlooks the garden. Off the lounge is a good spot for the study or extension to the lounge, alternatively it could make a 4th bedroom. Out the front is a covered verandah and sunroom. Out the back there is a large covered area linking the house with some out buildings, providing good weather protection and great extra storage space. The gardens are fully fenced and in the spring time, come alive with colour. There are too many varieties to mention, all are well established and add great appeal.
The sheds are larger than you could possibly need with a large covered section between the shed and the old cool store, perfect for the tractor and implements. At the top paddock there is also an old barn, perfect for storing all the hay that the property is capable of producing. There are many options here for the astute buyer. Either move straight into the farm house and make good use of the land, or there is the opportunity to have the house as a rental income and build your new home on one of the other titles. Versatility with endless possibilities and its position up a quiet no-through-road country lane, offering a picturesque and peaceful setting really make this farm one to inspect closer.
