This marvellous property is the result of a farming project implemented with great passion combining appreciation of the environment in which it is situated, utilising strategic planning, the application of sound advice and exacting attention to detail. This rural landscape of 52.3 hectares (129 acres) is on two titles and has been meticulously transformed over the years of the vendor’s stewardship with dramatic improvements to fencing, pasture, conservation areas and property wide landscaping.

Developments on the property include the construction of a modern architectural residence, new farm outbuildings and stock handling infrastructure and an extensive water reticulation system. This marvellous property is the result of a project implemented with great passion and appreciation of the environment in which it is situated, combining strategic planning, the application of sound advice and attention to detail so that in essence, all the hard work has been done.

The property presents unique opportunities for a myriad of exciting lifestyle activities as well as income. Set in Tasmania’s picturesque North West Coast, this is a property with incomparable and majestic mountain views with a vista that encompasses Mount Roland, Mount Van Dyke,and Mount Claude and stretches eastward to the Western Tiers, Mount Barrow and Ben Lomond. On a clear day, with the mountain landscape as a backdrop to the property’s bush and pasture and, with the rural land in the valley below, this secluded landscape is nothing short of spectacular.
The near new homestead of approximately 26 squares has been sited on a plateau of level ground overlooking the productive renovated pastures to the north and east and has views along the mountain ranges of northern Tasmania,and to the south and west it is in the lee of natural bush lands with pristine temperate rain forest to the southwest. The positioning of the homestead was very thoughtfully selected to maximise views, aspect and sunshine hours and shelter from the prevailing south-westerly winds. For those with a ‘project in mind’ there are number of other sites, with marvellous views, suitable for establishing cabins or self contained villas for tourism purposes.
The residence combines open plan living with a central kitchen and dining area, flanked by two lounge or sitting areas which open onto deck areas for outdoor pleasure or entertaining. The plentiful bounty of local gourmet foods and wines available and the magnificent setting combine to make sure this kitchen rules for any owner. Each area shares the views from the generous sized double glazed feature windows. Even the screens have been chosen to filter the light yet feature the views on the brightest and warmest sunlit days. The home is of modern colour-bond construction, with insulation to ceilings, walls and flooring. Three bedrooms, (the master with a very well designed en-suite featuring his and her vanities, separate shower and toilet), are all with built-in or walk in robes. The fourth room currently used as an office could also be utilised as an additional bedroom. The main bathroom features separate bath and shower. The laundry is also cleverly designed as part of the rear access to the house being concealed within attractive cupboard enclosures.
The residence has an iconic Tassie Barrel wood heater, reverse cycle air conditioning and panel heaters for temperature control and both gas and electric cooking options. Water supply is sourced from the option of stored rainwater tanks collecting from home and outbuildings, with the alternative of pristine potable groundwater from a bore installed in 2006. This bore, with storage tank, also provides water, by gravity feed to 18 stock water points throughout the property.
The landscaped gardens offer bright and ever changing colours with native and exotic ornamental plants carefully chosen to compliment the serene and peaceful ambience. As well, there is seasonal produce from a vegetable plot and fruit from a fully netted orchard as well as a hot-house for winter salad vegetables. Both the house garden and the pastures have vermin proof fencing and in addition, electric fencing is used to protect the vegetable plot from nocturnal invaders.

Approximately 15 kilometres of new fencing has been erected to date and this includes wallaby proof fencing around the pastures to ensure quality feed for livestock. There is a well formed and graded 800m road from the front gate (which features remote automated opening) of the property to the residence. The residence has a sealed circular drive with access to the workshop, carport.
The large machinery/hay shed has a gravel apron to link it to the internal driveway.

The vendor’s have taken great care in establishing the property to the point it is now, with a farm sustainability plan with mapping, regular agronomy reports and subsequent fertiliser applications. They have also set aside and preserved 27 hectares of natural habitat areas (64 acres) includes marked walking tracks to enable further enjoyment of the property. The property also has within its boundaries, as well as nearby, trails for horse-riding,and is only minutes away from Lake Barrington boating, rowing, camping and fishing opportunities. In addition the property is just a 40 minute drive from Cradle Mountain and all of its recreation opportunities.
Outbuildings include double carport, double garage/workshop including plumbing, power and heating and a four bay (one lock up) farm utility shed and barn. Except the workshop all other outbuildings are new and of colour-bond construction. The exterior of the workshop has been upgraded to blend in with the new outbuildings. Also installed and included are new modular cattle handling facilities.
