Set just on the outskirts of Evandale, minutes from the Launceston airport for an owner who regularly commutes, and only a few minutes out of Launceston city is this high quality 232 acre farm. Set on 7 titles, with modern four bedroom home, river frontage to the South Esk river and licensed irrigation water right.

The property features quality sheds and facilities, well laid out and sheltered paddock network, productive alluvial soils with good water retention capability and negligible or no stone making pasture renovation or crop production low maintenance.

Properties of this nature and size rarely become available in such close proximity to urban centers, and presents numerous options to potential purchasers, whether pursuing traditional farming practices or alternative recreational farming opportunities.

The house is very solidly constructed with quality fixtures. The house is very well appointed and fastidiously maintained and presented, set in simple but very picturesque gardens, with fruit orchards, a small vineyard, and with ringed views toward Evandale and of the surrounding mountain ranges including Mount Barrow, Ben Lomond, The Western Tiers, through to Mount Roland and beyond.

House water is collected and stored in a 10,000 gallon cement tank on a pressure supply system. With garden sheds and wood storage facility holding approximately 12 tonnes of firewood, there is no need to spend a cold evening in this home.

The property in recent years has been used mainly for sheep and beef production, carrying up to 400 to 500 breeding ewes, and approximately 70 to 80 head of beef cows. All paddocks have shelter available with hawthorn hedging to the most perimeters. The gateways are all hung cyclone gates, many designed to allow access for today’s larger harvesting machinery.

The irrigation point is established on the South Esk with three phase power connections and metering, underground mains pass through the property and under Evandale Road with a series of 5 hydrants to tap into the system, and also has a sprinkler network on risers established to one paddock where asparagus has previously been cultivated, but is also ideal for fodder crops such as Lucerne, or establishing a strip grazing block to finish livestock before market.
