170 Rockmount Road, Ellendale TAS 7140

This sandstone coloured brick homestead (built 2007) has a spectacular view down the Derwent Valley to the Mt Wellington Range with Sleeping Beauty prominent, especially when capped with snow.
This 4-5 bedroom family home (Approx. 29squares plus wrap around verandah) has a modern galley kitchen with a spacious open plan dining/lounge area looking out on the farm and mountains. There is a 7KW Daiken heat pump heating and cooling this area and there is ducting to other areas of the house.The ducting is especially useful when the large Saxon woodheater is fired up on cold winter nights. Downstairs there is a conveniently placed bathroom with a spa and the master bedroom with a walk in robe, another smaller bedroom and an office. There are two bedrooms upstairs, one king size with another walk in robe. These are complemented by another bathroom. There is also a wrap around, covered veranda allowing outside entertainment in any wind direction along with solar hot water and a heat pump.
The 101hectare (250 acres) approx. farm is predominantly healthy volcanic soil facing E-SE, away from the drying prevailing winds, allowing for great pasture growth. The farm is divided into 9 main paddocks and is well watered by creeks and waterholes which have been recently cleaned and two have been enlarged significantly. There is 80,000 litres of water storage in tanks for the house plus a bore for back up.

There is a 3 bay garage, two 3 bay machinery sheds and a single stand shearing shed. There is a modern 2 x 3 metre cool room to complete this comprehensive infrastructure. Sheds are near new on this farm, which is a pleasant change from most farms with untidy old timber sheds needing maintenance! There is also the benefit of a lease of a 146ha (360 acre) plantation area next door with quite large areas of grass in and around the Nitens. A recent addition is a 40 x 15 metre netted area for an orchard which was planned before family commitments forced the resale of this tidy farm.
All this is around an hour from Hobart. Please call for an inspection today!!
