Welcome to "Heimat", a property that feels like time stands still the moment you arrive. Perched on just over 98 acres of rolling pasture and bushland, this remarkable farm offers not only breath-taking scenery but also a lifestyle that captivates everyone who experiences it. Known affectionately by the owners as the "Heimat Effect," visitors and guests describe an immediate sense of calm and serenity here, as if the rest of the world simply fades away as you disconnect from the chaos of city life.
The architecturally designed home itself is spacious yet wonderfully cosy, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views of the mountains, valleys and rolling hills. It's a retreat that feels private and secluded, yet only five minutes from the historic town of New Norfolk and a relatively short forty-five minute drive from Hobart. The size of this home is generous in proportions with high ceilings, three large bedrooms (main with ensuite), a study with both internal and external access, a huge laundry with adjoining storeroom and multiple living spaces for all the family to enjoy. Almost every room takes in the showstopping views where you can look out across the paddocks and watch the livestock grazing, frolicking or resting throughout the day or down the valley across to New Norfolk and Magra. The land is beautifully diverse, with a mix of lush paddocks (9 paddocks in total), spring-fed dams, native bushland and abundant wildlife that brings the property to life in every season.
"Heimat" is more than just a farm - it's an experience. An already established accommodation business is in place, with two charming two-bedroom chalets and two motorhome sites with ensuites that allow guests to stay in comfort and share in the beauty of this unique property. The chalets have each been fitted with a kitchen, a bathroom and two generous bedrooms, one an attic bedroom, and have been lovingly decorated in a style that is both modern and cosy. Many arrive with plans to explore the local area, but quickly find themselves drawn into the magic of "Heimat"; chatting with the animals, strolling the grounds or simply sitting back to take in the ever-changing views. There's even a campfire kitchen and hut for gathering in and around with friends and family if you want a barbeque in the evening. Countless reviews describe it as "absolute paradise" and "a beautiful getaway that feels a million miles away." For the owners, most of their special memories involve the native wildlife that also call "Heimat" their home. Spotting a mother and joey Eastern barred bandicoot under torchlight, watching trail camera footage of Tasmanian devils and quolls exploring at night and their delight in seeing the farm's natural cycle continue, right outside their front door.
Special memories are created everywhere on this land. Spotting wombats and wallaby's at dusk, hearing the bray of donkeys at sunrise, or walking the tracks down into "Wombat Woods" finding wombat dens with the soundtrack of bird calls overhead-these are the simple joys that define life at "Heimat". Every farm animal has a name, every paddock tells a story, and every day begins with the sounds of nature.
This property offers endless possibilities - whether you wish to continue it as a farm stay business, run livestock on the fertile paddocks, or simply enjoy it as your private sanctuary. With its mix of beauty, tranquillity and opportunity, "Heimat" is a rare offering that will leave a lasting impression. Whether you are considering a wedding/event venue; an artists retreat, a venue for groups such as birdwatchers, walkers, photographers; developed further with romantic woodland cabins for couples with private baths or hot tubs; open for day visitors to come and meet the animals, introduce further animal interactions and other add-ons, the possibilities are limited by your imagination and your passion for this unforgettable lifestyle opportunity.
If you've been searching for a property that combines a breath-taking lifestyle with genuine business potential, "Heimat" is the one you've been waiting for.
