Overview

89 Upper Scamander Road, Scamander

Situated just minutes from the Scamander township, this property offers a rare and secluded lifestyle opportunity on Tasmania's stunning East Coast. Known as Eureka Farm, it comprises two adjoining titles totaling approximately 20.72 hectares of natural coastal bushland, an established multi-variety orchard, and three separate dwellings. Nestled in a pristine valley surrounded by native bush and still part of the Scamander township, the property is within walking distance of pristine beaches, alongside the Scamander River, and just 1 kilometer from the Tasman Highway, making it a unique and attractive offering.

For the past thirty-four years, Eureka Farm has been the home and business of the current owners. Through careful planning and development, the native bush has been transformed into a productive berry and fruit farm, complemented by value-adding restaurant and manufacturing operations. The property's future direction depends on the next owner, who may choose to continue these activities or explore other eco-tourism ventures. Its proximity to the Scamander River and surf beaches presents opportunities for eco-tourism, short-term accommodation, farm stays, family living, or continued orchard and retail operations. Alternatively, it offers a private sanctuary close to the township for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle surrounded by nature.

The property includes two adjoining titles of 3.42 hectares and 17.3 hectares, each featuring a mix of orchard and natural bushland, along with multiple dwellings, sheds, and plant facilities. Accommodation options include a one-bedroom main house with a shop front, a three-bedroom house, and a two-bedroom bungalow. The standalone three-bedroom home and bungalow are regularly rented as holiday accommodation. All dwellings are fully self-contained and may be offered fully furnished.

Supporting the orchard operations are three sheds housing plant equipment, including two cool rooms, a dry store, office, bathrooms, pallet storage, packaging areas, and two commercial kitchens. One kitchen has been used for manufacturing preserves, ice creams, and desserts, while the other services the retail café area.

The orchard features a variety of fruit plantings, including apples, pears, cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants, raspberries, plums, apricots, and blueberries. A standout feature is a 14 million litre (14,000 cubic meters) catchment dam located scenically within a forest. Given the East Coast of Tasmania can be dry, this reliable water supply supports irrigation through a system equipped with a sand filter, drip irrigation, fertigation facilities, and pumps as needed.

Near the primary residence, there is a greenhouse, electrical control room, electric fences, fire hoses, and a three-bay implement shed. A 20kW solar panel array significantly reduces running costs, and solar hot water is provided for the shop area.

In addition to the two titles currently offered, there is potential to negotiate the purchase of two additional titles that complete the Eureka Farm area. The vendors also offer a hand-over period by negotiation to help new owners fully appreciate the farm's history and future opportunities.

Scamander is a popular destination for sun-seeking holidaymakers and a growing community for families seeking a lifestyle change. The area boasts famous surf beaches, surf and river fishing, cafes, restaurants, a pharmacy, fuel station, supermarket, world-class mountain bike trails just 15 minutes away, and the vibrant town of St Helens 20 minutes away. Scamander offers a wonderful lifestyle on Tasmania's East Coast.

For those interested in continuing the existing business, there is an opportunity to adopt Eureka Farm's online presence, including their website and online store.

This unique property presents a rare lifestyle opportunity with diverse options for living, business, and recreation. Interested parties are encouraged to arrange a private viewing to fully appreciate all that Eureka Farm has to offer.
