4500 Channel Highway, Middleton TAS 7163

Middleton boasts many lovely properties but this gem is the real deal if you're looking for a highly productive small farm. Featuring 9.39 hectares of predominantly flat, useable, clean land, this property is bounded by 3 roads and the fourth boundary is a long permanent creek frontage to McDowell's rivulet. Divided into 10 paddocks, the entire perimeter is fully fenced including wallaby netting and the extensive new French drainage systems throughout the paddocks ensure they are adequately drained all year round.

Water will never be an issue as there is one large dam with its own deck which is fed by permanent gravity fed water and is linked to holding tanks for irrigation. There are also 3 interlinked ponds (one with jetty) also gravity fed and home for the ducks.

Fruit and vegetables feature greatly on this property with 2 large netted areas for berries - blueberry, loganberry and raspberry, vegetables and fruit. There are 2 greenhouses and a fenced orchard area which includes pears, apples, plums, apricots, nectarines, peach, cherry, kiwi fruit, feijoas, Medlar, persimmon, crabapple, almond, walnut, hazelnut (1,000 trees mixed varieties) chestnuts and black walnuts.

There is a large machinery shed 20 x 10 metres, a large hay shed, crush with lambing jugs (bays for ewe and lamb), sheep / cattle handling area, race, head bails and cattle loading ramp. The list goes on........

The home was built in 1969 and has a large lounge dining area and separate sitting area adjacent to the kitchen, both rooms have wood heaters. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 separate toilets and a second kitchen used for fruit and nut processing. There is also a double garage underneath and additional under house storage.

A property like this does not come on the market very often. The care and diligence with which it has been maintained and farmed has resulted in highly productive outcomes and the owner is looking for someone who will continue on a similar path so that they too can to reap the benefits of being self-
