Live the Dream! - $400000

Description

This property offers the lot...a serene, romantic retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life; a healthy, self-sustainable lifestyle free from the noise and pollution of mainstream society; an escape from the escalating costs and stresses of modern living; AND enormous future earning potential in the right hands. Located between Burnie and Waratah and backing on to the renowned Tarkine wilderness reserve, this 160 acre property on the Murchison Highway has to be seen to be appreciated. As soon as you pass through the front gates you are transported to another era by an enchanting, picture book cottage perched on a knoll overlooking 10 acres of pasture surrounded by native Myrtle, Leatherwood, Blackwood, Celery Top Pine and Sassafras rainforest and with views as far as the eye can see. As you approach the cottage you pass a perpetually full dam on your right, complete with a functioning windmill, resident ducks, geese and native birds, and colourful blooms of waterlilies. On the left, pastures populated by fat friendly sheep and an abundance of safely enclosed fruit trees catch your eye. Beautifully-maintained lawns, flowering gardens, and rustic timber work/storage sheds greet you on arrival at the cottage, and once inside you can't but appreciate the love and craftsmanship that has gone into creating this unique home. Full of 'olde worlde' charm yet fitted with all the mod cons, including excellent digital TV reception, the cottage is entirely self-sufficient in terms of power and water. Highly efficient solar and wind generators, backed up by a reliable, commercial-grade battery system, provide an ample electricity supply, and cleverly positioned dams and rainwater tanks ensure abundant fresh water. To cap it all off, the property has unrealised potential for income generation. With part of the property currently leased for tree farming, it already produces an income of $4000 p.a. - sufficient to cover all property maintenance and outgoings. And the potential for tourism-related ventures that capitalise on the property's unique location and attributes is yet to be explored. Photos and words cannot do this property justice, so come and see it first-hand. Contact City & Rural First National on 6431 2222
