Premium quality extra virgin olive oil is bring produced from Glendale.
Glendale is nestled in the picturesque rolling countryside between the historic town of Evandale and White Hills in Tasmania's Central North. The grand homestead is the design of Launceston architect Lionel Morrell who was inspired by the famous 20th century American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Glendale sits high amongst a patchwork of rolling pasture land, enabling its occupants to enjoy 360 degree views that take in the expanse of the Great Western Tiers to the west, Mount Barrow to the north and Ben Lomond to the East. All this and only 15 minutes drive to the heart of Launceston City and a comfortable 10 minute drive to Launceston Airport.
Glendale is home to the second largest olive grove in Tasmania and the largest in the north of Tasmania. Planted in 2005 for the sole purpose of producing Premium Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the approximate 9,500 tree Olive Grove will enter its second commercial year of harvest in 2012.
All aspects of production including pruning, mulching, irrigation, pest control, harvesting and processing are managed efficiently. The property is now being offered for sale as an ongoing concern including modern plant and equipment. Assistance to new owners will be available as required for a period of time after settlement to ensure a smooth transfer.
This home has been designed for spacious family living; every room is large and filled with natural light from the expanse of floor to ceiling windows, which capture beautifully the magnificent uninterrupted views. A generous hallway and staircase lead to a pair of double bedrooms, dressing rooms and master bathroom. Returning to the ground floor, a long hallway, flanked by plenty of storage cupboards leads to a further 2 large bedrooms and another glamorous bathroom. Wooden floor boards provide warmth in all living areas whilst woollen carpets add a touch of luxury to bedrooms. Bathrooms and the laundry area are tiled with underfloor heating.
