In these times of climatic uncertainty, Chilton is one of the rare types of properties that do actually provide certainty. Certainty in water availability that is, thus healthy growing pasture in summer when it is needed. It is the last rural farming property at the head of the water catchment which obviously assists with its enviable irrigation water situation but also its sheltered from the hot winds in summer and cold winds in winter. The property is located in a private location but at the same time only 21 kilometres to Scottsdale with its schools, hospitals etc and 61 kilometres from Launceston. As an operational dairy up till 2 years ago, Chilton milked 230 cows on its 250 acres of pasture which are most strong grey river flat loams. 200 acres of the pasture is irrigated, (with the potential to irrigate the total 250 acres) by 2 strong bores and a 45 mg dam for the majority of the irrigation season with the 380 Surety 6 water licence utilised earlier in the season directly from the Lisle Creek. Further to the existing irrigation resource, there has been a site for a 200 mg dam on the property identified and surveyed. There is a 120 acres of forestry plantation that is in a lease agreement which provides an income of $18,000 p.a., CPI, as well as over 30 acres of native bush the Vendors use as a valuable woodlot for farm purposes. This property could milk cows again or operate as an intensive beef fattening property or grow poppies, potatoes, onions etc like so many other North East Tasmanian properties do.
