Located within 25 minutes of Launceston CBD, this rare 204 acre property with a large near new family home, is sure to be snapped up quickly by those looking for land.
Originally purchased as bush acreage, the new owner has extensively upgraded the land, sown grass seed, ploughed and selectively logged in 2004 on most portions of the land.
Since the improvements, the owners now have approx 1/3 in paddock grass, a good sized dam that is pumped up to the individual paddocks, near new wallaby proofed fencing on the boundary title, a wonderful spacious brick home, a large garage/ machinery shed, hay barn and an excellent newly formed road access.
The home is located in a private area overlooking the dam with a picturesque outlook. Built in 2012 this family home offers 3 bedrooms as well as a separate study that could be used as a toddlers bedroom if mum needs a young one closer to the master bedroom. (See floor plan. )
The outstanding large kitchen with walk-in pantry has a gorgeous black granite top. This open plan area flows beautifully through to a choice of two living areas, the dining, and a large covered entertaining deck. The home faces north east so sun is maintained at a maximum during the winter months.
During winter there is the choice of a stunning open log fire as wood is abundant and free, a couple of electric wall heaters, and a free standing wood fire in the family room.
Double glazing is located in the main living areas of the home.
Located off the master bedroom, is a second large private deck that offers an outstanding swim spa built behind protective glass screening and gated for safety of the little ones.
Both the bathrooms and laundry inside this home are of showcase standard.
Outside, there is a single carport attached to the home, and nearby is a superb large color-bond shed, offering a wood shed to the side, an en-suite inside the shed with kitchen sink nearby, workshop area, double door garaging and 2 carport parking areas, all this under the roof-line. There is a separate hot water cylinder to this shed.
Other points to note are the enclosed veggie area, secured dog run/kennel, a hay barn, stock yards and a majority of near new wallaby proofed fencing around the perimeter of the title, including electric fencing.
The property has 10 grazing paddocks each with a watering trough, has recently been running approx 20 head of black Angus cows with calves, and in previous seasons when rain was plentiful, hay has been cut from some of the pasture paddocks.
The home is on tank water but the main water line runs within the road boundary of the block if anyone would like to access town water at anytime.
The rainfall in this area of the north east of Tasmania is generally very good, but this summer has been unusually dry.
The neighbour has a large productive apple orchard to the south boundary well away from the house location, and other properties in the area are mostly cattle farms and natural bush to to the east.
Launceston is approx. 25 minutes drive, and the shopping town of Georgetown is 20 minutes. The property is located on a school bus route to local or private schools.
Rates are 2,200 per annum.
