Predominantly slight undulating plateau, "Platypus Waters" is a beautiful setting currently being operated as a home for breeding or agisting endurance Arabians. It has magnificent mountain views that stretch as far as the eye can discern on clear days.
The current residence is part (approximately 125 square metres) of the 25.5 metre X 12.5 metre galvanised shed structure, and comprises 3 bedrooms, plus kitchen, dining, lounge, office, bathroom, laundry and linen storage.
It is very tastefully presented, fully insulated, comfortable living quarters with wonderful views and sensational sunsets reflected off the dam.
The Lounge room and two main bedrooms have recently had quality new carpets only recently fitted.
The remainder of the main building is very versatile and can be used for parking, storage, workshop, arts/crafts, country entertaining, foal watch, business operation such as carpentry/joinery (the possibilities are enormous).
The property has had previous building approval for establishing a separate permanent residence should someone wish to create a separate purpose built residence (STCA), and there are a number of stand-out locations, although none capture the sunset views across the Platypus Waters like the current residence.
In addition to the current well appointed living quarters within the main complex.
The property also has a 15 X 5 metre farm machinery shed, barn with two well appointed stables, a lined site-shed (suitable for a studio, sleep-out or tack room), and purpose built handling yards for livestock, in particular horses. The property has plentiful water, good quality native grass highland pasture, easily accessed for hay production without much stone, as is often the case in properties in these style of locations.
The main grounds around the homestead property are beautifully maintained and landscaped, and as the property name suggests the property is host to resident platypus.
It may not be prime cropping, or large enough for commercial farming, but it is undoubtedly Prime Lifestyle.
There is power to each of the sheds on the property, with 3 phase power at the main shed and residence 25.5 X 12.5 metre (360 square metres approximately). The entire area has concrete flooring, is of metal construction and is completely vermin proof.
Rain water is collected and stored for domestic use, while stock water is provided via the pump-shed from the spring fed main dam. There is a good mix of shelter on the property for livestock. As already mentioned the views from the anywhere on the property and from the residence are simply spectacular, as can be seen from the photo display, and then there are the Sunsets!
Don’t be fooled by this property, it is far more than a residence within a structure, have a look at all the metal structure houses being designed architecturally by the shed companies as modern design or converted lofts and factory space.
This is a residence arguably before its time, and when inside you feel only as if you are in a home!
The property is approximately 40 kilometres from Devonport by the most direct route, approximately 35 to 40 minutes average drive and 45 kilometres via Sheffield. A little over an hour to Launceston Airport, and within 45 minutes any of the West Coast towns for those wishing for a lifestyle farm within easy commuting range when not on shift or roster, this property is ideal for ease of access and minimal loss of down time due to travel. Many North West Tourist attractions are no more than a few minutes away, with Cradle Mountain resorts and wilderness within approximately 30 minutes, and Sheffield township is just 10 to 12 minutes down the road.
