After turning west just north of New Norfolk you find yourself amongst wooded hills until you approach this exquisite patch of green encircled on one side by the meandering Plenty River. The property is nearly surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills making it sheltered in almost every direction. The fertility of this land is the result of being a chicken farm many years ago. The present owners used to have a market garden on the one and a half acre river flat. The larger of 2 pumps runs 5 large sprinklers which are included in the sale. The farmlet is divided into 6 paddocks with lots of wallaby proof fencing in excellent order. You look down on these green paddocks and the pristine Plenty River from a 4 bedroom brick home with a wrap around verandah. Heating is by circulated water from a wooden combustion stove which is delivered to 2 heat banks in the lounge room and one in each bedroom. There is also a reverse cycle heat pump for hot summer days. The original kitchen and dining area opens up on both ends to the large L- shaped lounge which has the best views of the river.
As well as a beautiful garden setting, this property has an orchard with pears, 7 varieties of apples, nectarines, green gauges, apricots, figs, raspberries, loganberries, young berries and thorn less blackberries. Added to this is a 6 bay shed for cars, boats and caravans, a lock up container, and a 6 x 10 metre workshop. To top it off there is a covered in barbeque shed with an old combustion stove.Being only 11 kilometres from New Norfolk and less than 50kilometres from Hobart CBD what more could you possibly want?
