"Robin Hood" is an historically significant property 24.4 hectares (60 acres) with rich basalt soil being ideal for an array of lifestyle and agricultural pursuits. Lovely gardens, fruit and nut trees, and park like areas surround the well preserved two storey bluestone and timber homestead (c. 1860) that retains most of its original features. The expansive floor plan (286m2) offers five bedrooms, two Huon pine bathrooms, Huon pine kitchen, laundry, open plan living area with floor and wood heating, spacious entrance foyer, front door hallway, library and a studio via a Blackwood staircase.
The verandah on the northern side of the home provides peaceful and private views over the property and beyond.
Additional residences on the property include a studio near the homestead with full views and a small cottage for restoration with potential to utilise the passing tourist traffic on the "Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail", for accommodation purposes (STCA).
The property originally settled and established as a Flour Mill, enjoys an abundant water supply (9.5ml Licence) stored in two spring fed dams, allows the option of various pursuits. With little cropping history in the last 16 years the property includes shelter belts of over 4000 provenance native plantings to protect water courses and livestock shelter.
A large bluestone building and other outbuildings grace the homestead yard, with shearing shed, sheep and cattle yards with crush, vehicle and farm equipment storage, hay storage and workshop facilities.
Conveniently positioned only 16 km (approx.) from the Devonport CBD, and is an easy commute to Deloraine and Launceston. The Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal and Devonport Airport are only a short drive away.
"Robin Hood" is a lovely rural and residential property of historical interest and potential.
