This stunning five bedroom, two bathroom property has been previously run as a B and B and you will see why when you take a look at the photos. Large stately rooms, stunning private gardens and all set in the popular North East of Tasmania, just a stone’s throw from the world renowned Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trails and many other tourist attractions. That’s just an added bonus though, the real opportunity here is that this property has a purpose-built, state of the art, dog breeding/boarding kennel. The property sits on a total of 10 acres which consists of the house and yard, and 3 paddocks of prime basalt soil.
The home is a stately weatherboard residence packed with character features like a return verandah, bay windows, period fireplaces and timber fretwork all set on a background of stunning polished floorboards throughout. With a large informal open plan kitchen living dining plus a formal living and dining room you will have no shortage of space for your large family. The home is climate controlled by an inbuilt wood heater, reverse cycle air conditioner and panel heaters.
The kennel is a purpose built fully council approved operation that consists of two structures; a 25m x 15m new kennel of 30 runs and a secondary building that houses the grooming room, office, workshop and garage. Outside are a further 12 dog runs. All internal and external runs are set up with automatic self watering troughs.
In addition to the kennels and garage there is an outbuilding under renovation previously used as the hay loft. Located directly by the driveway entrance and with electricity connected and a second floor in place (no stairs) it lends itself to potential accommodation conversion (STCA). Bring the grandparents, the twenty-something kids who won’t move out, or just make an income.
Speaking of income. If running a kennel is not your thing, put your thinking cap on and imagine the possibilities of alternative uses for this kennel structure. It is a 12 x 25 m noise proof, insulated, heated/ cooled by two r/c air conditioners (subsidised by large bank of solar panels on the roof) with a toilet. The grooming room has a freestanding wood heater, water connected, and plenty of windows to let in light, so is again a natural accommodation conversion just waiting to happen (STCA). Set yourself up to accommodate school groups or scout groups just minutes from all the action of Derby.
Legerwood has a merchandise store, caf and best of all, is right on the doorstep of the best trout fishing in Tassie. Legerwood is located 25 km from Scottsdale, the services hub of North East Tasmania, 44km from Bridport’s Golf courses and beach, and 85km from Launceston.
With the world renowned Blue Derby mountain bike trails just a 15 minute drive away, this is a perfect location to invest in the North East Tasmanian tourism boom. This extraordinary property is income ready, has potential plus and is simply an enviable residence in this lovely rural community.
