51 Acres of Opportunity - A Lifestyle, A Legacy, A Future
Some properties are bought for what they are. Others are bought for what they could become.
Nestled on the southern side of the iconic Barron Hill, just 15 minutes from the heart of Ulverstone, this tightly held 51-acre family farm is one of those rare opportunities that caters to almost every buyer imaginable. Whether you're searching for a lifestyle escape, a productive hobby farm, a market garden, extra grazing land, a first step into agriculture, or a place to downsize without giving up the land you love, this remarkable property offers a blank canvas limited only by your imagination.

Lovingly cared for by the same family for decades, this is more than a farm-it's a legacy. A
property that has proudly evolved through generations, supporting everything from potato production and cattle grazing to dairy operations in its earlier years. Today, it stands ready for its next chapter.

For those wanting to hit the ground running, the property can even be offered as a walk-in, walk-out opportunity, complete with an extensive range of farm machinery including a tractor, bale spike, Soft Hands attachment, slasher, ride-on mower, silage trailer and box trailer.

From the moment you enter the property, it's evident the infrastructure has been meticulously maintained. Immaculate fencing surrounds the entire holding, while an extensive network of cyclone gates and well-designed laneways provides exceptional access across all 51 acres. Stock movement is effortless, with quality stockyards positioned near the lower entrance, allowing farm operations to function independently from the home's main access.

Water security is often the backbone of any successful farming enterprise-and here, you'll have peace of mind with an abundant spring-fed dam supplying the property year-round.

Multiple irrigated troughs are strategically positioned throughout the paddocks, making livestock rotation simple and efficient.

The rich red basalt soils are renowned throughout the region for their fertility, making this property equally suited to grazing livestock, growing fodder, establishing a thriving market garden or pursuing countless other agricultural ventures.

Supporting the farming operation is a dedicated pump shed serviced by its own separate power meter, a former dairy still connected with power and water, and a substantial open-faced machinery barn complete with a lockable sliding roller door to securely house equipment and machinery.

Built in 1990 with family living firmly in mind, the residence is warm, spacious and exceptionally practical.

At its centre sits the beautifully renovated kitchen-a space where family naturally gathers.
Featuring elegant waterfall stone benchtops, a breakfast bar, wall oven, four-burner cooktop, rangehood, dishwasher and a generous walk-in pantry, it's perfectly equipped for everything from busy family breakfasts to entertaining after a long day outdoors.

The home offers four generous bedrooms, each complete with built-in wardrobes, while the master suite enjoys the added comfort of its own private ensuite.

Designed for everyday family life, the main bathroom features an easy-access shower, separate bathtub and the convenience of a separate toilet nearby.

Comfort is assured throughout every season with two reverse-cycle air conditioners, a cosy wood heater and additional electric heating options.

Adding even more flexibility, the internal-access single garage could easily transform into a second living area, teenage retreat, home office or continue serving as secure vehicle accommodation.

Step outside and you'll quickly appreciate the years of love invested into the gardens.
Established trees, colourful garden beds and tranquil water features create a peaceful sanctuary that perfectly complements the surrounding rural landscape-a beautiful reminder of everything that makes Tasmania's North West Coast such a special place to call home.

Properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
A genuine working farm.
A peaceful lifestyle retreat.
A family home.
An investment in your future.

Whether your dream involves running cattle, grazing sheep, growing produce, expanding an existing operation or simply giving your family room to breathe and enjoy country living, this exceptional Barron Hill property delivers an opportunity that rarely presents itself.
