This picturesque approx. 55-acre farm is being offered for sale for the first time in 57 years. In this time, it has been continuously run as a self-sufficient smallholding.
The 3-bedroom character home, featuring pressed tin ceilings and original Tasmanian oak flooring is set amongst established gardens of mature fruit, nut, olive and citrus trees. The farmhouse kitchen has myrtle timber benchtops and a Stanley combustion stove. A large walk-in larder leads through to a produce storage room. All outer walls and ceilings are fully insulated. A radiant style Morsø wood heater keeps the house cosy during the cooler months.
The family bathroom is spacious and light-filled and there is a 2nd separate toilet.
Every room has tranquil, leafy views.
While still attached to the grid, there is a 1.5kW PV array. The combustion cook stove heats the hot water cylinder.
