Richmond Walnut Farm is a high calibre holding on the blue ribbon strip north of the historic township of Richmond.
The property is 48 hectares, or 120 acres and is 35 minutes from Hobart and much less to the airport.
The 2006 built Spanish Mission style homestead sits in an elevated position providing magnificent views over the surrounding countryside and the Coal River Valley and yet is totally private and unseen from the road. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms – from the master bedroom on the second story, majority of the property can be surveyed.
There is also a very neat 88m2 3 bedroom brick cottage on the property currently let for $300 per week. Despite the rural address both dwellings on the property are on town water.
24 hectares of Richmond Walnut Farm is meticulously maintained walnut orchard on individual sprinklers planted in 2003 and in joint venture with Webster Ltd. The orchard has steadily been increasing its yield every year and last season produced 58 tonnes of nuts. Independent advice suggests the property has potential to at least double production. Water for the grove comes courtesy of a 50ML water right from Craigbourne Dam and is stored in a 70ML on-farm dam. There is also an outlet from the Stage 3 Irrigation Scheme.
Below a terraced area of 60 olive trees is 5 hectares of beautifully laid out horse agistment. There are 6 small paddocks each with a water trough and field stall, an exercise arena and another 2 larger paddocks. The 200m2 shed incorporates a machinery shed, workshop, hay storage, tack area and feed room.
This is an incredibly diverse property with quality at every turn and everything you could wish for in a rural address.
