“Dunlo” at Osmaston is a well balanced parcel of land consisting of 213.27 hectares or 527 acres approximately on 4 titles. Some 200 hectares is grazable pasture fenced into sensible paddocks with 14 hectares of open bush country on some higher ground. Some winter relief country is very suitable for cattle grazing. Soil types vary from heavy black cracking soils on the flats, some small pockets of red soil and some sandy loams. The property has traditional hawthorn hedging providing shelter and some lovely stands of trees for summer shade. “Dunlo” milked cows until 1996 and has more recently been running beef cattle and sheep . A dairy redevelopment or a run off farm for dairy heifers are the obvious choices for this property. At present the property has 100ML of water in 2 dams and a further 30ML from the Meander scheme (with more water available if required). Quamby brook and the Ditch run through the farm. A good central laneway provides access to all paddocks. The various outbuildings include the old dairy, a barn (170 round bales), 2 stand shearing shed, 4 bay machinery shed, piggery, 2 silos (40 tonne each) and good stock yards.

The 3 bedroom family home is in very good condition and has been bricked over with the addition of aluminium windows. A good sized deck provides some outdoor living and takes advantage of good views in all directions. The garden is pleasant with mature trees, fruit trees and a vegetable garden. School bus pick up is nearby and the Regional towns of Westbury and Deloraine are 7 minutes away. Launceston city and the airport are within 30 minutes drive.

The sale of “Dunlo” presents an opportunity to secure a versatile acreage in a strong dairying district with an average rainfall of 950mm approx. This farm has the potential to be stepped up to the next level, or continue the present grazing practices.
