Overview

Situated in the heart of the sought-after Mountain River area, this property offers an outstanding rural lifestyle opportunity spanning approximately 50 acres (18.73 hectares) of predominantly pastureland. The land benefits from a varied terrain including gently undulating pastures, rolling hills, and more elevated country, providing a versatile hold with separate paddocks and electric fencing already established for agricultural pursuits.

Water security is a key asset here, with several dams across the property, including water sources at higher elevations, complemented by access to the Mountain River Water Scheme. These features support various potential activities such as livestock grazing, hay production, or market gardening, offering flexibility subject to relevant approvals.

The residence itself, originally built in the 1950s with additions from the 1970s, provides a practical base with three bedrooms and one bathroom. Comfort amenities include a reverse-cycle air conditioner, woodfire heating, ceiling fans, a separate laundry, and a bathroom featuring a shower over the bath alongside a separate toilet. A single carport offers sheltered parking, and the combination of town and tank water supply, septic system, and regular bin collection enhance everyday convenience.

Outdoors, established garden beds provide a ready canvas for horticultural endeavours, while a timber shed of substantial proportions (approximately 20m by 10m) accommodates equipment, machinery, or can facilitate a variety of rural uses.

Whether your vision is for a working rural property, a serene lifestyle change, provision of space for animals, or simply a quiet country retreat, this property’s long-standing productive history, established infrastructure and proximity to Hobart make it a unique offering with growing scarcity in the Mountain River region.

Annual rates are approximately $2,800, reinforcing the practical nature of this predominantly rural holding.
