    UNDER CONTRACT.

    We are selling the perfect escape to a quiet and peaceful rural life, within a 10 minute drive to the CBD of Burnie. Set in the green pastured hills is this 22.3 ha (55 acres) farm in the fertile land of north-west Tasmania. This property, with Pet River rear boundary, offers the ideal base to run a small hobby farm in retirement or as extra income. If farming yourself seems too much, then why not put the pasture area to agistment and live in the home in this peaceful rural setting.

    The home has been completely and tastefully, renovated over the past 12+ years having been a home for farming families for maybe 100 years.

    The home has 3 generous bedrooms, small office nook, living area, modern kitchen, bathroom and laundry. In addition the large shed of 12 x 12 metres that has had the rear 1/3rd partitioned off to provide modern carpeted outdoor rooms, that can be used as an office, extra space for visitors, or warm outdoor rooms that has a wood-fire for the winter. The views from these rooms are nothing short of spectacular.

    From the house you get a different vista from every window, be that winter snow capped mountains from Black Bluff Mountain, sweeping rural hills and mountain ranges, to pasture land with grazing animals. Not to mention the stunning gardens that has been created around the home itself. The garden is still in its infancy but the colour throughout the year is ever changing, spectacular and colourful. In spring the daffodils appear, followed by tulips, then as the season changes there are several roses, and many other flowering shrubs, with some seasonal trees like Japanese Maple, Birch etc. Then you can sit by a large pond on the jetty with gold fish swimming up, eager for a feed. The yard houses an art studio and other storage sheds.

    There is a vegetable garden and large orchard with all types of fruit trees. A 10 bay piggery is also available that could be used to raise pigs or bobby calves. A large hay shed is joined to the piggery. There is a solid cattle yard and race that allows easy access to load and unload livestock from the road in all weather conditions.

    The farming land is fully fenced with new wallaby fencing, with several internal electric fences. The farmland has been improved with lime and fertiliser. The pasture this year has come back very well. The lower 15 acres is natural bush and consisting of your own rain-forest (huge man-ferns) down to the lower boundary that is the Pet River.
    Burnie Airport is about 20 minutes drive, the Spirit of Tasmania about 40 minutes and Devonport Airport also provides a second flight route to Melbourne. The North-West Regional and Private Hospital is 10 mins drive and a day trip to Cradle Mountain takes about a 1 ½ hour.

    This property would suit a young family or a retired couple that wanted to generate extra farm income while enjoying a close to a subsistence lifestyle. This farm and home has everything in a beautiful setting in the friendly community of Ridgley. The farm and home will not disappoint anyone looking for a quiet rural lifestyle that is still close to all facilities.
