Enter the heart of the property and look at all it has to offer, it will be hard to leave. Just ten or twelve minutes to Devonport or Sheffield and just over an hour to Launceston, it is close to two of the major gateways to and from the state.
As the heading indicates above, so much diversity is on offer in this 61 acre setting. Privacy, comfort and space are all afforded to the owners of this lovely location. The house and accommodation are both spacious and very well appointed. The gardens and grounds are host to a variety of native flora and fauna, both seasonal and perennial. If you are looking for your own piece of paradise, with supplementary income capacity and a comfortable and substantial home with stunning views, this property could be perfect for you.

The entry to the property is a ‘guard of honour’ of native Blackwood trees lining the laneway through the olive groves to the homestead, licensed accommodation unit and out-buildings. From almost any vantage point around the property and the homestead, you are afforded captivating views of Mount Roland, the Badgers Ranges, and the Don Valley below. The main Homestead is a spacious 3 or 4 bedroom brick residence, with a great deal of attention to layout for both comfort of living and optimising its commanding position and panoramic views.

From its spacious dining room and sitting rooms, sunken lounge, and well appointed kitchen there is plenty of room and scope for entertaining in style. With up to four designated bedrooms (the main with en-suite) the house represents a very comfortable family home, and provides ample room for family guests. The house and grounds both spoil owners with vantage points and options for peaceful contemplation, picnic sites or pleasant distraction when working the olive grove or remainder of the property.

Annexed to the main house is a comfortable and well appointed, self contained two bedroom unit which is also licensed as guest accommodation complex, with views over the olive groves, the valley below and surrounding ranges. Whether used for long term tenants, medium or short term farm stays, the accommodation is a valuable asset to the property, providing a potential extra income stream. Both the main homestead and the guest annex have garages, each with direct access to the respective dwellings.

With a total area approaching 61 acres (25 hectares) the land attached to the property is divided into 3 roughly equal areas of olive grove, pasture (suitable for sheep or cattle – another potential supplementary income stream) and mixed bush. A large dam on the property has been privately stocked with rainbow trout for the fishing enthusiast and is also home to two native platypus. An ornamental dam within the grove is furnished with a gazebo and landscaped to provide a tranquil spot from which to watch the olives grow. A 1.5 acre ornamental garden with fish-pond and summer-house surrounds the house and guest unit. An established vegetable garden and fowl pen provide for fresh produce.

The pastures are capable of hosting a number of livestock options from sheep to beef or horses. There are two bores servicing the water requirements of the property. The larger capacity bore provides approximately 10,000 litres per hour to the reticulations system of the olive groves, while the second bore provides both domestic and stock water. The second bore also maintains a 5,000 gallon tank which services water troughs and provides a back up service via gravity should there ever be a power outage.

The water from the bores has been tested as they provide water to the licensed accommodation unit, and as you would expect throughout the Kentish region the water is of extremely high quality, requiring no treatment or filtration for domestic usage.

The olive grove is comprised of approximately 1,550 trees now in the range of yield maturity at nine + years. The oil production of the groves is of boutique commercial quantity following a remedial pruning programme to optimize fruiting potential, and seasonal variations. Up to 7 tonnes have been harvested from the 1100 oil specific trees with yields projected to increase steadily in forthcoming seasons. It is anticipated that as the trees mature between 12 and 15 years they will produce over 10 tonnes depending on pruning regimes and seasonal influences, with the UC13A-6 producing another 4 – 5 tonnes for either oil or food products.

While the Olive Grove is one of the main attractions of the property, for a purchaser who would prefer not to have the Olive Grove as a commercial component, the vendor would consider removing the trees, or as a more practical option remove sections of trees so the remaining trees formed borders to grazing paddocks and shelter belts for livestock. The current reticulation system could be used for additional stock watering points to be installed. The remaining olive trees would still provide produce for cottage industry harvest and personal usage.

Mount Roland View olives have already achieved high recognition with a number of Gold, Silver and Bronze Medal awards in National and State Olive Oil Shows, including two Silver Medals already for this seasons harvest to add to awards won in previous seasons.

There are five farm sheds on the property, one of which is established for shearing. An equipment inventory for the grove and farm machinery are available upon request, as are production figures, projected incomes from both olive products and the property as a whole.

If you are looking for lifestyle potential, comfort of living, complete privacy, with the added benefits of the quite spectacular scenery on offer and the bonus of having a supplementary income capacity through a number of alternatives, this property can provide them all in one package.
