Overview
Situated in the fertile agricultural landscape of Lebrina, this 44-hectare blueberry farm stands out as a significant commercial horticultural operation. The property's vast scale offers a unique blend of agricultural history and modern cultivation techniques, making it a strategic asset in Tasmania's cool-climate berry-growing region.
The farm is segmented into multiple cultivation blocks, including the oldest known commercial blueberry planting in Australia, the original Brigitta soil plantings which are approximately 30 to 40 years old. This historical component guarantees consistent yields from mature plants, providing a valuable foundation for the farm's productivity.
- A more recent 12-year-old Brigitta soil block benefits from permanent netting, enhancing crop protection and yield stability.
- The substrata production area utilizes advanced tunnel structures and high-spec irrigation, focusing on Ozark and Legacy varieties planted in 2017, reflecting contemporary growing methodologies aimed at increasing efficiency and output quality.
Robust water security underpins this property’s operational viability, featuring a 60ML in-stream dam expanded in 2017, complemented by a 150ML water license with seasonal draw periods. These resources ensure reliable irrigation and frost management, supported by infrastructure improvements such as frost fans, functional farm sheds, cool rooms, and a modest farmhouse.
Proximity to key transport nodes, including Launceston (40km) and East Devonport’s Costa Distribution Centre (140km), facilitates efficient distribution, enhancing the commercial appeal for buyers engaged in fresh produce markets or horticultural portfolio expansion.
This farm is particularly suited to commercial growers seeking an established, operational blueberry enterprise with a variety of planting assets and integrated water and frost protection systems. Its combination of historical significance and modern agricultural infrastructure offers an advantageous platform for sustained production and potential growth within Tasmania’s well-regarded berry industry.
