Gaunt's Hill Farm is a private rural lifestyle property with spectacular water views of the Tamar River and located only 20 minutes north of Launceston.

This 94.96 hectare (235 acre) holding offers an award winning home, farmland divided into 10 paddocks, multiple dams, shedding/garaging, solar power, scenic walking tracks and an array of native flora and fauna, with a 24.4ha covenant protecting the beautiful White Gum forest.

This contemporary north facing home, designed to take advantage of the uninterrupted spectacular river and rural views, is rich in amazing timbers and quality fittings. It is spacious with open plan living, a tower retreat with 360 degree views, three bedrooms, three bathrooms plus a workshop/gym. It offers a choice of decks to enjoy the sun at any time of day, all of which flow beautifully off the living areas.

Internally, the terrific layout provides separate accommodation of the east facing master bedroom suite from the living areas and the other bedrooms. The awesome views across the Tamar River and farm can be enjoyed throughout all the living areas and even the master bedroom. The beautiful and well-appointed kitchen will delight any home chef with quality appliances, granite benchtops, Myrtle table top/breakfast bar, river and mountain views to die for. All the bathrooms are outstanding and have beautiful features of Granite or Huon Pine and the testament to that is the 2007 HIA Best Bathroom award for the ensuite.

The flexible floor plan also provides a private, self-contained wing which would serve perfectly as a guest house, parent, adult child's retreat or a professional office suite.

Undulating in areas, with a mix of soil types, the property has been used for running cattle, but there are substantial sections suitable for horticulture production, such as cherries, vineyard etc. There has been a focus on pasture improvement. Typically the vendors have run between 40 and 50 Angus cows and calves, selling calves in the autumn to fatten. Depending on the season, agistment cattle may be taken. Normally between 60 and 100 round bales of hay are made each season. Eight troughs are on reticulated town water supply, in addition there are two large and three small dams with several dam sites suitable for larger scale storage for future irrigation development if required. Rainfall: 700-750mm per annum.

This is a truly special property with extra features of solar power, double-glazing, full wall and ceiling insulation, wool carpets, wheelchair access doors and showers, ducted vacuum system, wood & electric heating, two double garages, extra shedding and water self-sufficiency. Such a rare offering and only 20 minutes to schools, shops and city conveniences.
