Derby TAS 7264

This productive Derby livestock and cropping farm is serviced by the Winnaleah Irrigation Scheme. The pressurised scheme delivers water to more than half the total farm area via underground 5 inch Class 9 and 12 mains. Free draining Basalt soils dominate the rolling landscape... There are some steeper areas where granite outcrops emerge and light timber has been retained. Cropping history records a 6 to 7 year rotation on a 36.5 hectare (90 acre) area. Poppies and potatoes are grown followed by barley and wheat in the rotation. Currently dairy cattle are agisted on the farm. Farm shedding accommodates the necessary plant and equipment for such an enterprise. Cattle yards are connected to a decommissioned dairy. Farm access is via the Tasman Highway and a gravel road along the western boundary. The attractive 3 bedroom brick home is set amongst an easy care established garden and orchard. Well watered lawns create a spacious dimension. The home was renovated a few years ago when a family room was added to the floor plan. The kitchen and dining areas were modernised and now the entire area presents as a light and bright living space. A quality Tasmanian Oak floor flows through this area. A central hallway connects 3 double bedrooms and bathroom. All enjoy garden views. A double carport and yet to be completed' outdoor living patio add to the general building footprint.
