This is a great opportunity to secure an organically managed farm in pristine Southern Tasmania. Comprising of 36.8 acres, this farm offers a period farmhouse with lovely gardens, a good split of rich improved pasture and a rear section of bush, water rights, a huge shed and a large cool storage room. All of this is positioned up a no through road, near the local golf course, just out of town and only a 20 minute drive back to the hub of Huonville.
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 good. 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.
The farm house has period character and offers a large central living area with a functional floor plan. The kitchen is of Blackwood timber and overlooks the garden. There is all you would expect, including a 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 has a lovely open fireplace to set the mood. 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 and overlooks the garden. Off the lounge is a good spot for the study or extension to the lounge, alternatively it could make a great reading room. 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 they 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. Positioned in a picturesque and peaceful setting and up a quiet no-through-road country lane really makes this farm one to inspect closer.
