Here's your opportunity to purchase a "River Cottage" lifestyle property. Commencing at the driveway lined with birch trees and under planted with autumn bulbs you get a feeling of seclusion and privacy. The 50 acre property consists of approximately 15 paddocks, with the front pastures being flat with some shelter belts and the back of the property is undulating large paddocks with native trees and shelter belts. There's a large cattle/sheep yard and hay shed located for cattle trucks to enjoy easy access. The house is surrounded with cottage gardens, a 50 tree orchard and veggie plot and enjoys views of Mt Roland. The three bedroom house is an original Nook home and has been renovated in a modern country style. There is a cook's kitchen with two ovens and a huge gas cooktop, plenty of bench space and walk in gourmet pantry. The dining area is open plan adjacent to the kitchen and features a wood heater set in a stone alcove. The cosy living area is located off the dining area and provides a comfortable spot to relax and entertain after dinner. There is a generous size pergola to enjoy those long summer evenings and also a great spot for the BBQ. There is a boot/mud room combined laundry off the pergola which allows for cleaning up after coming in from the paddocks. There are multiple sheds on the property including a large machinery shed, workshop, fuel shed, chicken shed, old shearing shed and 3 car open carport. Water is supplied to the house via a natural spring linked to a 3,000 litre tank and there is an additional 97,000 litre tank on the tractor shed. The paddocks, orchard and troughs are feed via water rights from the Don River under Riparian rights via an Ajax pump to a 20,000 litre tank. The pastures have been fertilized annually, hay and silage have been produced from the top paddocks for winter feed.
This is a great lifestyle property if you want to grow your own fruit and vegetables, raise chickens, pigs, sheep etc. and have a stock herd as a supplementary income. The river area is the perfect spot for fishing and a BBQ or for the kids to enjoy the great outdoors.
It is located in an area close to tourist attractions such as Cradle Mountain, The Lakes, Beaches at Hawley and Shearwater. Major towns are close by including Devonport, Burnie & Launceston which all offer the shopping and work opportunities required. This property would also lend itself to tourism opportunities such as farm stays or niche market crops.
