Kingsholme was historically the centre of a thriving hop industry in the Ellendale area. The 1970s saw a steep decline for the hop industry in Tasmania which necessitated the property having to change direction and evolve into a rural retreat centre for families and small groups. <br/><br/>Ellendale lies at the heart of the Derwent Valley, just under 1.5 hours north of Hobart. Within a very short drive from Kingsholme, you will find Mt Field National Park, the Maydena mountain bike trails, the rich bounty of fine, wild trout in the nearby Tyenna River (reputedly Tasmania's finest river fishery), water skiing and trout fishing at Meadowbank Lake, wonderful exhilarating bushwalking and hiking destinations, Bushy Park's extensive hop growing fields and its historic buildings together with nearby quaint, historic villages and acclaimed vineyards. <br/><br/>Lot 2 - 41.1 hectares (101 acres) comprises a huge and magnificent 100-year-old 43m x 9m (by 3 floors) hop kiln (oast house) which stands proudly overlooking 4 comfortable houses adjacent to extensive "backpacker" style accommodation. This complex also incorporates a commercial kitchen and function / dining area, plus extra offices. The large dam (almost a lake) is sited at the foot of a natural amphitheatre, overlooked by the kiln and the nearby 4 houses. The dam is home to a family of platypus. This title is 41.1 hectares (101 acres) in size (zoned Rural Resource - Central Highlands Council). This title of 41.1 hectares incorporates an area zoned Rural Living. <br/><br/>Lot 1 - 38.15 hectares (94 acres) incorporates a fifth house (Zoned Rural Resource - Central Highlands Council). This internal, very private title has magnificent fertile river flats, gently rolling pastures and stunning Derwent Valley views. <br/> <br/>With a very long boundary to Jones River and water licenses of 9 megs and 31.6 megs totalling 40.6 megalitres, benefitting this very appealing and picturesque property has highly fertile, productive river flats that are complimented by rolling pastures and natural bush shelter belts.

The potential is huge: perhaps additional "glamping" sites, mini caravan park, short stay destination, vineyards, maybe a cooking school featuring fresh produce from the farm, a training / seminar centre, wedding venue, wildlife tours, paddock to finished products all grown and produced, bottled, packaged in the property's commercial kitchen (all potential options STCA). <br/><br/>Kingsholme is a truly wonderful, enchanting property, set in a serene, natural, rural environment. The property represents a fantastic opportunity for a new ownership to capture and capitalise on Tasmania's growing reputation as a tourism mecca and premier fine food and cool climate wine producer. <br/><br/>The vendor offers Kingsholme as one entire package or will entertain the prospect of selling as two separate titles. <br/><br/><br/>Please call Wendy Nielsen on 0418 561 538 or Peter Wade on 0417 395 584 for a private inspection.<br/><br/><br/><br/>** We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable, however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
