Pine Hills incorporates the old convict transit town of Swanston and boasts 14 titles. It covers 1719ha and has predominantly healthy dolerite and some basalt soils. Pine Hills has a modest 73 sqm 2 bedroom weatherboard house next to its 3 stand shearing shed(185sqm). A 500ML dam site has been identified on the Pine Rivulet and 2 pivot sites covering in excess of 70ha are an obvious start. There is another 500ML site identified and numerous others as the property has 5 major creeks, rivulets and one river.
The other side of Pine Rivulet is South Pine Hills with an attractive 3 bedroom white brick home. It has 405ha on 1 title and is neatly bounded by the Little Swanport River to the west and Pine Rivulet on the eastern Pine Hills side. It also is predominantly dolerite with some basalt soils. It has a 1 to 2 stand crutching-shearing shed and large garage workshop.Expressions of interest around $1 million.
After a series of poor east coast seasons the properties are still running 3000 healthy sheep. The properties have run 2950 ewes and 700 ewe hoggets. The properties have a warm climate as they are down off the Oatlands plateau.
There is approximately 927ha under covenant but most can be grazed 8 months of the year under a restricted stocking rate and a game management plan allows for control of feral animals and wallaby.
These properties have a lovely feeling of isolation but are only 50 minutes to Orford, the gateway to Tasmania's East coast, hour and a half from Hobart and 30 minutes from services in Oatlands.
Offers may be made for the individual properties.
