Two minutes drive to fishing and boating in Nubeena. Only five minutes to the public boat launching ramp at Port Arthur. Stunning beaches at Carnarvon Bay, Safety Cove and White Beach close at hand.
The home is newly built and near complete, with double glazed windows, excellent exposure to northern sun for passive solar heating, insulation in ceiling, walls and under floor, fly screens throughout and designed for cross ventilation for summer. There are energy saver lights throughout the house and the open plan living design makes heating the home in winter a breeze.
This rural property has a long history of Eco friendly farming and there is potential for organic certification*. It has been used in the past for cattle and recently for free range egg production and a substantial herd of alpaca. It would be ideal for a sustainable lifestyle.
The land is productive and fertile with excellent annual rainfall, good annual hay yield and over the years it has lent itself successfully to cattle farming. Currently the property runs a substantial and highly regarded Alpaca farm and is the home of Tasman Peninsula Free Range Eggs, a well known and popular brand of eggs that to date has not reached its full potential. Demand for these eggs is high and the label carries the heart foundation tick of approval. The owner is willing to sell the egg business with the farm, should you be interested. In addition the owner can offer Alpaca pets and/or herds of varying sizes with excellent bloodlines if you are thinking of going into the Alpaca business or wish to increase your own herd. These will be offered separately.
The creek through the property runs the majority of the year. There is a spring fed dam which stays full all year round and other potential dam sites. All eight existing paddocks are irrigated for stock water. The property has fantastic views of Mt Koonya and Mt Clark with rural views in the foreground and retains a portion of bushland. New wallaby wire fencing along the majority of the boundary. There is a new 17.5 x 7m colorbond shed on concrete slab with power connected and hot/cold water supply, as well as carport and farm shed (3bay also with access to stock water plus stock holding pen) on the property.
This is a highly unique property that will please the most environmentally conscious person with a lifestyle of fresh air, country living, and general quality of life. Private and yet only 5 minutes from Nubeena the ‘commercial centre’ of the Tasman Peninsula with all the services of a small town. Easy access to the National Park and picturesque Fortescue Bay.
