Nestled in the rolling hills of Dover, between a white sandy beach and forested hills, these 81.73ha (201acres) of fertile farmland offer lifestyle opportunities that are second to none. The modern homestead, built in 2013, is both elegant and functional. Currently the property is Cape Grim accredited and run as a hobby farm with around 40 happy cows, this property has been designed to be home to over 500 deer in the past.
Whether you are looking to live off the land or simply enjoy the peaceful countryside on holidays, this property has something for everyone. The property is spread over 5 titles and there is potential to sell the titles off separately. With stunning and varied water views from different areas of the property and excellent road access, there may also be an opportunity to offer accommodation (STCA).
The majority of the property is green pasture that is enclosed by 2.4metre high fencing, suitable for a wide range of livestock or other cultivation (Let your imagination run!). There is a rivulet running through the property, 4 dams, a spring and numerous tanks supplying ample water to the irrigated property year round. A number of sheds – all with power – all strategically located, including a specially designed deer handling shed, machinery sheds and hay storage sheds, there is even a grain silo to hold alternative feed options, a stockyard for cattle and to top it off – a private quarry!
The pasture backs onto native Australian bush that offers peaceful corners to explore, a haven for wildlife and a source of firewood.
Low maintenance and beautifully designed, this brick home is gentle on the environment with a 3kw solar power system, solar hot water and double glazed windows. Enjoying views over the pastures and out to the water, the hexagon shaped living area creates a bright open space. The veranda on both sides completes the living area to provide plenty of space to entertain friends. Off the central living space there are two wings, one with two bedrooms, and the main bathroom and laundry; the other with the master bedroom, en-suite and walk-in, and a study or 4th bedroom.
All this is located 70minutes from Hobart in the friendly township of Dover, which has a school, shops, community groups and endless outdoor activities to enjoy in the surrounding area.
