Sometimes when you look at a property, it's the position that you fall in love with, and this position is extremely beautiful.
Located in a sunny and elevated position, this lovely brick home overlooks the pasture down towards the river and the bush at the boundary.
Most of the land is pasture and has been a cattle farm for the past 10 years.
As water is plentiful and abundant, with a selection of tanks as well as a spring fed dam, water is not needed from the Pipers River.
This beautiful river, which is the actual boundary to the property, is home to many species including the highly protected and endangered giant freshwater crayfish. Habitat also to platypus, trout and blackfish.
The lovely owners of this property are sad to leave and its only due to the time in their lives that they need to downsize and move closer to town. The time that they have had here on the farm has been one of the most wonderful time in their lives.
The home is very practical and low maintenance, offering 3 bedrooms, but currently used as 2 bedrooms and a study. The living and dining areas are directly adjacent to the spacious kitchen area and is an inviting and open plan design with the option of closing off the doors to the smaller living area.
Heating is from a wood fire in the living areas, and wood is free and plentiful from the land. Also, a couple of extra heat pumps for electric heating.
The home is double glazed and constructed from an attractive cream brick with a sandstone finish.
The bathroom is immaculate and very well laid out, with a second toilet in the mud room/laundry.
Attached to the home is a very large paved alfresco dining area, fully covered and enclosed on one side with 2 clear rollup blinds. This is a very useable area for extra vehicles in winter and entertaining in summer.
Also attached to this area is the double garage with spacious workshop, and a further double carport nearby.
The land offers a multitude of uses for many farming ventures. There are 5 paddocks and the exterior fence is wallaby proofed. All with access to water.
There a few covered fruit trees, raspberry patch and enclosed raised veggie garden beds.
The property comes with a galvanised steel cattle crush, ramps and holding yard.
Other implements added into the sale are:
Ford Dexter tractor and implements (1967)
Carry all, bucket, grader blade, harrow, firewood splitter, round metal hay feeder.
Karoola is around 25 minutes to Launceston CBD, and only 10 minutes to the Lilydale township for all general supplies.
Properties like this rarely come onto the market, so be quick, as its easy to miss out in this market.
