If privacy, sun, space and convenience are on the top of your wish list, this amazing property has all of these in spades! On just over 39.5 private acres, oriented to make the most of the sunny aspect, the natural undulation and the available Tas Water irrigation connection, there are a myriad of lifestyle and/or agricultural options to consider at this prime location. Whether you are looking for a commercial interest such as the existing winery which has ample room for expansion, or a hobby farm to run your own livestock on and be self-sufficient, the highway frontage provides excellent exposure and vehicular access - all within a 30 minute drive to Hobart. This established biodynamic vineyard (no chemicals used for 22 years), known as "Bagdad Hills" has been home to Graeme and Pip for the past 23 years, but now it's time for them to put away their gumboots and retire to a smaller property. If winemaking is not your passion, there is the option of leasing parts of the land to local experts (currently approximately 4 acres of vines), while you can enjoy the beautiful rural lifestyle surrounding you. With room to run goats, sheep, cattle, horses and/or a menagerie of small animals to enjoy farm fresh produce with your own veggie garden and fruit orchard ready to go, the infrastructure of this property is incredibly impressive and convenient.
The sun-drenched, architectural home, built in 2013, is perched overlooking the stunning panoramic views across the Chauncy Vale Range and valley beyond. Designed to be low maintenance with its contemporary Yellow Stringybark timber exterior, the home itself currently accommodates two bedrooms and a beautiful central open plan living space. However, there is room to extend down the track with this idyllic setting and unique curved design being the perfect platform to work from. A wonderful undercover entertaining area becomes a second living space to make the most of the unbeatable rural views and sunny aspect....the perfect place to spend Christmas lunch with family, adjoining the full length north facing balcony with easy access to the surrounding landscape where you can feel close to nature and where kids can run freely. The kitchen is the hub of all activity in this gorgeous home, encouraging family discussion with its huge central island bench, topped off by gas hotplates and electric kitchen drawers - a rare find indeed!
If you love a shed, this property has an ENORMOUS shed, perfect for the "work-from-home" tradie or for continuing the existing vineyard operation with extra height for a mezzanine storage if required. Ample space for farm and viniculture machinery inside, the additional lean-to carports adjoining this 12 x 9m shed, provide undercover parking for tractors, quad bike or motorcycles alike. Three-phase power is available on site and there are multiple outbuildings that do need renovating. These could be used for farm stay accommodation potentially or just overflow family/guest accommodation when needed, having once been the old Army huts.
Established gardens at the front of the home create a beautiful entrance. While the land leading up to the house site is sloping, around the main residence, the land is level, making access easy for people of all ages and abilities. A driveway down to the lower level is convenient for accessing the store and wine cellar which naturally maintains an even temperature year round. Solar panels, off peak water heater and multiple water tanks for the extensive irrigation system all contribute towards an eco-friendly lifestyle here.
Graeme and Pip are extremely proud of the legacy they are passing on to the new owners of this property, be it as a winery or a lifestyle property.
"Our small family run vineyard nestles in the foothills of the beautiful Bagdad Hills just 30 km north of Hobart. We nurture our vines with a focus on soil health and biodiversity following biodynamic and organic principles. Our aim at each vintage is to produce high quality, cool climate estate wines that express the seasonal individuality at Bagdad Hills vineyard. This is enhanced by our minimal intervention approach in handcrafting the wine from our handpicked grapes." Should you wish to continue the vineyard, all the necessary machinery and winery equipment can also be purchased.
Peaceful and incredibly private, this stunning property offers exciting options for you to explore. A country lifestyle awaits you, combining seamlessly with the close proximity to local schools (Primary School across the highway), and shops, all within an easy commute to Hobart and the outer suburbs.
