4030 Huon Highway, Castle Forbes Bay TAS 7116

The iconic 1880 farmhouse comes with 37 acres including a huge shed, 2 other cottages, a shack, a rivulet running through the property, a large dam, a water license, pastures, apple orchards and native bush. This one really is something very special with so much on offer.

The home will appeal to the purist wanting to bring her back to original glory. It is packed with so much charm and ornate features, this one will be a renovation of love and passion. Complete with so much history and past happenings, it is hard not to form an emotional connection here. The original parlour room at the front provides a formal living area, complimenting the main living and kitchen areas at the other end. Multiple bedrooms and a roof-space free of cross beams opens up huge possibilities.

The sheer size of the shed is anyone's dream with the extra high roof, concrete floor and power. Large doors at either end and another on the side, gives access to high vehicles. Now that's what I call a shed.

The two cottages are useful for seasonal accommodation. One has 3 bedrooms and the other offers 2 bedrooms. Both are separate and located on the other side of the road, allowing for good privacy from the main home. There is potential for upgrading their use to short stay accommodation (stca), which would allow you to lease them out as holiday stays as well as seasonal worker accommodation.

A large section up the back has big tall gums and a beautiful cliff backdrop. This provides for lots of discovering and exploring. A large dam is ideal for irrigating the orchard or other agriculture exploits, complimented with a water license from the rivulet too. How good is that, your own personal rivulet running right through the property. There is an old timber bridge to get you to the other side. All this is within one of the most fertile valleys in the area (as per the long standing locals) and a hop skip and jump from the shores of the Huon River estuary.

The Hobart CBD is within an hour by car, Huonville only 15 minutes away and Geeveston around 5 minutes down the road. Castle Forbes Bay is a beautiful rural location with farms and orchards and gorgeous period farmhouses. This one is just waiting for you to give it a new lease on life.
