House - HUONVILLE TAS

UNDER OFFER

These fifty beautiful acres of very appealing land bordering the Huon River offer you the opportunity to live a self-sufficient country lifestyle, just a two kilometre drive down the road from the shops and services in the regional hub of Huonville and only 40 minutes’ drive to the capital city of Hobart.

Entering ‘Riverside’ you pass a classic Huon Valley apple shed, which has a number of well-established and comfortable rooms, one with wood stove, as well as a substantial workshop space. Power and mains water is connected to the shed and workshop and there’s a new 22,700L rainwater tank. The apple shed could be the perfect base while you’re planning your dream build (subject to Council Permit). Further into the property is the building site, with all the hard work done including site tests, surveys and engineering drawings. Approved DAs for a dwelling and a machinery shed and workshop have also been obtained from Huon Valley Council. The slab for the shed is already in place. The site has a sunny north-westerly aspect with lovely views to the hills across the river. A home with passive solar design features would be well-suited to this location.

Continuing on towards the water brings you to the banks of the Huon River’s calm lower reaches. From here, the river is navigable by good-sized vessels down to the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and beyond. The property has over 600 metres of frontage to the waterfront reserve. This is the ideal place to launch a kayak or tinny and to enjoy an evening barbecue and a vino around the firepit.

The land comprises approximately half-and-half fertile pastures and wetlands. Cattle, sheep or goats would do very well on the pastures, which could also suit a horticultural operation. The wetlands are a haven for birdlife. Fencing is of a high standard – 12 acres of the pastureland have wallaby-proof fencing with electrical top wires to deter possums, so that’s a major expense you can forget about.

So, what’s it to be? A serious farming operation? An orchard, vineyard or olive grove? Or just a big vegetable patch near the new house, with chickens and ducks close by? This is the place to build a home and make your permaculture dream come true.
