Expressions of Interest close 14th December 2018.

The surrounding mountains create a dramatic backdrop for this homestead and the Huntsman Lake can be seen from all over the farm with northerly views to the Meander Valley.
The double storey brick home offers diversity in accommodation and living spaces and captures sun and views of the lake all day. Bedrooms can be accommodated on both levels and a wide verandah covers 3 sides of the 2002 built house. Solar panels and a modest wind generator supplement power to the grid.
There is a mature garden surrounding the house (featuring deciduous and native trees and shrubs) plus a well-protected vegetable garden and orchard which all adds to the appeal of this country retreat.
Historically, the high rainfall of the region provides secure water supply whether it be via springs, creeks, dams or roof catchment. All of the pastures and fencing have all been well kept and maintained and a variety of livestock enterprises have been conducted by the current Owner which include prime lamb production, an Angus beef breeding herd and dairy cattle agistment. Forage crops are grown annually whilst hay and silage is made for personal consumption or sale. There are 2 large barns for hay storage and other capital improvements include machinery sheds, a shearing shed, cattle and sheep yards, a horse paddock and yards. An airstrip can accommodate light aircraft landing on the farm.
The single land title of 79.29 hectares does enjoy dual zoning, namely Rural Resource and Rural Living. There is land with lake views and road frontage which may be suitable for visitor accommodation development in the future (STCA).
The southern half of the farm displays natural beauty with creeks, crystal clear springs and a diversity of mature and rare forest timbers, features which have strong lifestyle appeal. The north facing farm slopes would also suit a viticulture enterprise.
The property is located only 15 minutes drive from the regional town of Deloraine and 45 minutes drive to the cities of Launceston or Devonport and airports.
