Set within the tightly held Westwood/Selbourne farming district in Tasmania's Meander Valley, west of Launceston, Hydaway comprises of 283.8 Ha (approx. 707.8 acres) and can certainly be described as a well balanced, multi-use holding.
It is currently used as a beef breeding cattle operation with a carrying capacity of 150 breeders plus replacements, but has the potential to be used as a backgrounding dairy (for an existing operation) and/or for fattening cattle, a stud farm, berry farming or similar operation.
Hydaway is split into a series of manageable paddocks offering a combination of improved pasture, native grasses and/or light bush country with each paddock serviced by gravity fed water troughs, spring fed dams or waterholes.
You have a centrally located five-span centre pivot which irrigates close to 38ha (93 acres) with water supply coming from two large dams with a combined capacity in excess of 200 megalitres. There is also the option of increasing irrigation across the holding with several site options available.
Infrastructure includes a five-bay machinery shed (20m x 9m), cattle stockyard with vet crush, one stand shearing shed, workshop and numerous utility sheds.
Circa 1996, the brick veneer Colorbond family home offers four spacious bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes), two bathrooms, open plan dining/kitchen with a formal lounge and study. The home is warmed by a free-standing Saxon woodfire along with a series of IXL electric wall heaters plus wool insulation in the roof cavity. The home is connected to above ground water tanks and a septic sewerage system.
Within commuting distance of Launceston CBD and/or Longford, Hadspen, Carrick or Westbury, Hydaway presents as a versatile agriculture holding within the fertile Meander Valley district - an ideal addition to any rural portfolio.
