Just south of Hobart.set in the foothills of the mountains east of famous Vinces Saddle is this tranquil Lower Longley blueberry farm. This package would be an ideal lifestyle change for a family or anyone who wants to run horses or have a few animals, and still work in the city as it is only a 20-30 minute commute to Hobart. This farm would also make an ideal part time business for one partner, although with the present harvest (beginning February) looking good it could pay the school fees as well! Come and live the dream and start the next chapter of your life in this fantastic part of Tasmania.
The 3ha block also has a levelled, east facing house site overlooking the farm and dam. 1.46ha (3.6acres) of netted blueberries produce the latest blueberries in Australia and thus command much higher prices. With the dam stocked with at least 75 rainbow trout, relaxing hours can be spent after work fishing, floating model boats with children or just enjoying the ambience of the white geese swimming on the spring and gully fed dam. The packing shed has a usable kitchen and two rooms as well as the packing room. Two owners have spent a lot of capital and time (half the 4000approx. bushes are 11 years old) planting, weeding, netting, vermin proofing and automating irrigation preparing this Tasmanian blueberry farm for sale.. For more detail and explanation of what a simple horticultural enterprise this is please give me a call and inspect during harvest to see for yourself !
