Here is a great opportunity to purchase a full working farm commutable distance (25 Minutes) from Hobart and 5 minutes from the historic town of Richmond. There is room for a large family with its 5 bedrooms (Or 4 plus study) and 3 bathrooms and the layout is both modern and very practical. The central kitchen looks out over the beautiful Coal River and Valley and has a dining area adjacent opening into a large laundry with cupboards, shelves and room for a second fridge and two large freezers The other side of the kitchen opens into a large living area with a large, near new Saxon wood-heater. The kitchen area also opens out onto a balcony which enjoys late evening sun and also a view of Mount Wellington in the distance. The house is complemented by a shearing shed, large lock-up workshop and machinery shed, hay shed, 4 poultry sheds and an aviary. The orchards to the front and rear of the house include different species of apples, pears, nectarines, plums, peaches, apricots and almonds. There is also a large fig tree enhancing the large and mature garden.
The farm has over 300 metres frontage to the Coal River with 7 ha of fertile river flat and another 5 ha of gently sloping land above it. This area is serviced by a 150mm irrigation line and 5 hydrants. This line continues up to another Southern Cross pump which pumps further up the farm to irrigate over 11ha of well drained chocolate coloured clay loam. The 150mm line also fills a large tank in just over an hour which gravity feeds to the garden and troughs. There is over 9 ha of north facing slopes and around 7ha of west facing area very suitable for viticulture.Arable north facing slopes with gravel underneath are rare and highly sought after in the Coal Valley. The farm is divided into 12 main paddocks and has a central laneway running up to the upper part of the property. If only the farm is of interest the large house with some small acreage should rent for around $400/week which at present rates would pay interest on approx. $440K of the farm!
Over the years the farm has successfully grown onions, poppies, wheat, barley and also seed crops of cabbages and cauliflowers. The soils are suitable for market gardening and horticulture or simply producing healthy prime lambs as that industry is booming at the moment.
