142 Braeside Road, Franklin TAS 7113

This property is a very unique parcel of land within a beautiful rural setting. Comprising of 1.2 ha (3 acres) of many different varieties of fruit trees, nut trees, vines and berries, I've not yet seen anything quite like it. Planted years ago, they are now all mature and producing masses of beautiful produce. To top it all off there is a creek-fed lake in the back corner. It is high enough that the water gravity feeds down to the remaining property with enough pressure to run sprinklers in all areas.

There are structures ideal for different uses. Great storage space, machinery shed, artist studios, garden tool shed, inspirational and creative spaces and workshops, as well as the old framework for a shack. Just like grandma's enchanted, mystical garden, there are nooks and crannies to discover everywhere. This garden has a magical and mystical feel to it as you wonder around exploring and discovering as you go. Positioned within its own private surroundings, you are in your own secluded oasis. Yet there are different views to be enjoyed depending on where you are on the property. One section you are taking in the orchards and the array of produce on offer. In another you are gazing at the majestic gum trees within a deep gully. Yet another and the tops of the gums filter mountain views. At the back next to the lake, there is a wonderful spot to set up for a picnic under a tree over looking the water and enjoying distant elevated views over the whole valley, the mountains and the the Huon River way down below.

On arrival, the first entry takes you along a track that runs the full length of the property, right through the middle providing easy access to all parts of the property. The second access is to a 6m x 6m shed ideal as the workshop and tool shed. There is also a garden shed next to this and an art studio slowly being engulfed by the lush garden. The old shack is also tucked away within the garden and could be restored back to providing quaint accommodation on site. Currently used as a weekend play property, there is also great scope here for developing a spot for your dream home. Just imagine the head start you will have with the garden and fruit trees. Positioned right up in the hills of Franklin, this property enjoys a quiet and tranquil environment adding to the great appeal of the location. There is good sun and the elevation reduces the risk of frosts and fog and ensures you are always in fresh Tassie air all year round.

Franklin is a lovely historic riverside town with a fantastic community spirit. Here you can be involved with many groups or just participate occasionally as you feel you want to. The local Palais Theatre is run and enjoyed by the community and is where the local markets are held. Here there is also a group called the Franklin Collective, who are a bunch of like-minded individuals sharing their produce. Please give me a call for further information or to arrange a meeting on site so we can assist with boundaries, and what is where on this unique property.
