48 Quarry Road, GLEN HUON, TAS 7109

Situated on over 130 acres across two titles at the end of a Council road, this tightly held farm presents a rare opportunity to secure a highly versatile and productive holding in the heart of the Huon Valley. Held by the same family since 1905, the property combines proven agricultural performance with scale, water security and infrastructure, making it ideally suited to serious operators, lifestyle farmers or those looking to expand an existing enterprise.

The land itself is the standout feature. With a natural north-western orientation across much of the holding, the property benefits from excellent sun exposure throughout the day, supporting strong pasture growth and reliable seasonal performance. The contours vary from gently undulating to more elevated country, providing flexibility across grazing, fodder production and potential horticultural or viticultural uses.

Water security is a major asset, with six dams positioned across the property, including dams at higher elevations that offer the potential for gravity-fed water systems. This setup lends itself well to stock watering, irrigation planning, or future agricultural development, and provides a strong foundation for long-term sustainability.

The lower paddocks offer fertile, well-improved soils that have recently supported potato production and delivered excellent hay yields this season. These areas are ideal for more intensive farming practices, fodder cropping or market gardening if desired. The ability to cut, store and on-sell hay provides an immediate income stream, while also supporting on-farm livestock operations.

The balance of the property is well suited to grazing, with a long history of running cattle. The current layout supports efficient stock management, with good access and natural shelter throughout. In the higher sections, established native eucalypt stands provide protection from the elements and a reliable supply of firewood, adding further practical value to the land.

A semi-permanent winter creek runs through part of the property near the secondary frontage to Pine Lodge Road, further enhancing the water profile and offering additional agricultural flexibility. The dual titles also open up future options, whether for boundary realignment, family succession planning, a second dwelling, or the potential to sell one title separately.

For those considering diversification, the property presents strong potential for vineyard development. The combination of slope, elevation, aspect, soil profile and water access aligns well with cool climate viticulture, particularly pinot noir, in a region already well regarded for premium production.

Positioned just six minutes from Huonville and approximately 40 minutes from Hobart, the property offers the convenience of nearby services while delivering the scale and privacy expected of a true rural holding. Despite its accessibility, the setting feels completely removed, tucked away at the end of a quiet road with expansive views in every direction.

The elevated home site captures some of the most impressive outlooks in the valley, stretching from the snow-capped ranges in the west, across the Huon River and surrounding farmland, and north toward Sleeping Beauty and the Wellington Range. Seasonal changes, passing weather systems and winter snowfalls create an ever-changing landscape that is both visually stunning and agriculturally beneficial.

The homestead, a solid 1980s brick residence, offers three to four bedrooms and has been meticulously maintained and upgraded over time. It presents in excellent condition and provides a comfortable and practical base for farm operations, with close proximity to key infrastructure.

Shedding and improvements are well suited to agricultural use. The main shed near the house provides generous clearance for machinery, caravans or boats, while an adjoining structure with direct paddock access is ideal for use as a stable, workshop or livestock handling space. This building also includes a separate room that could function as a sleepout, office or additional storage.

A newer machinery shed offers further capacity for larger equipment, hay storage and general farm use, while also acting as a windbreak to protect the home and working areas from prevailing westerlies.

Surrounding the home are established gardens, including productive fruit trees and vegetable areas, along with well-developed raspberry patches. The soil in this area has been carefully improved over decades, creating a highly fertile and productive environment for ongoing use.

Privacy is another key feature, with the home positioned above neighbouring properties and largely out of view, allowing for uninterrupted operation of the farm and a strong sense of independence. The combination of elevation and aspect also means the property often sits above the winter fog line, maximising sunlight during the cooler months.

With the Huon Valley Golf Club just minutes away and the broader region offering renowned food, wine and agricultural industries, this location continues to attract buyers seeking both lifestyle and productive land.

Properties of this scale, history and capability are rarely offered to the market. Whether you are looking to run cattle, produce fodder, establish a vineyard, diversify into horticulture or simply secure a large, well-watered holding with long-term potential, 48 Quarry Road represents an outstanding opportunity in a tightly held area.

Private inspections are available by appointment.
