"Hilltop" farm at Deloraine in Northern Tasmania, has had only 2 Owners in over 180 years. Currently owned and operated by the Scott family, the property consists of 110.5 hectares or 273 acres approximately of highly productive farmland. The soils are very fertile and consist of predominately red basalt with a small amount of black clays on the flats. The property has operated as a dairy for many years and is currently milking up to 250 cows. The dairy is a 22 swing over Herringbone in excellent order. A large well located machinery shed along with various other outbuildings support the infrastructure at Hilltop. The current Owners have also grown potatoes, poppies, peas, beans, lucerne and cereal crops. The farm holds a 240ML water licence and incorporates 3 dams and a very reliable bore. A linear pivot and traditional hydrant irrigation water the property. The large family home built in 1948 has been fully renovated for modern living. It enjoys a grand location over looking the farm, with lovely rural views in all directions. There is also a fully self contained unit under the same roof line. Mature English trees and Hawthorn hedges throughout the property add to the very picturesque scenery at Hilltop. Located on the highway, midway between Launceston and Devonport and 5 minutes to the strong regional town of Deloraine, Hilltop offers an exciting agricultural opportunity.
