Zelwood is a 633 acre (approx) farm situated at Buckland about 63 kilometres north east of Hobart. Buckland, a tiny rural village situated at the gateway to the East Coast, originally known as Prosser Plains, was settled in around the 1820s; and has long been renowned as a grazing district.

Zelwood is unpretentious and full of potential. It has an excellent supply of quality water from 3 waterholes; plus a bore that feeds a header tank and then gravity feeds to troughs in most paddocks. Rainfall for the Buckland area averages around 600mm-650mm. Zelwood has an easterly aspect and the boundary on the southern side is the Prosser River.

The soil map ranges from red alluvial river flats through to gently undulating Pozolic (over sandstone) banks. Zelwood has a good combination of cleared, developed land and bushy banks that provides excellent animal shelter. With further irrigation development; and the past fertilier history, the property is ideal for a diverse array of enterprises options.

The improvements consist of a modest 3-bedroom cottage, 10m x 20m machinery shed; and a 3-stand shearing shed which has been extended and improved progressively over the last 10 years.

Buckland’s proximity to Hobart and regional centres such as Sorell and Orford makes this offering ideal for the young farmer making a start in the farming game; or those who want to farm for the lifestyle aspect of it.
