Is this your new home?

This property is incredible. The former Tewkesbury Agricultural Station, it was a research farm focused on improving Tasmania's seed potatoes for most of the twentieth century. A grand old home dates from 1915 and has many period features, including several working fireplaces and 3-metre high ceilings. There are five good-sized bedrooms and a study, a formal lounge and dining room as well as a family room. The home has terrific ambience, space and functionality. The kitchen has a gas cooktop and an electric oven and is everything you would want from a country kitchen.<br/><br/>The property was fitted out with several enormous outbuildings whilst operating as Tewkesbury Agricultural Station. The largest shed is approximately 25 metres x 30 metres and it has 3-phase power, ample lighting and a toilet. The current owners have turned one of the outbuildings into a delightful stable with 4 stalls of excellent quality. The enormous tack room space would suit the most fastidious of riders. There is a hotwater washdown bay in the barn for horses as well. The stable is approximately 32 metres x 9 metres in size and has a toilet.<br/><br/><br/>Another out building was used for accommodation and has good potential for being refurbished for this purpose again (size approximately 15 m x 4 metres). Finally, there is a very large building (approximately 32 metres x 9 metres) that is currently set up for mechanical work and has 3-phase power, a hoist, tyre machine and compressor which the owners will be happy to leave in place for the new owner.<br/><br/><br/>The property has 3 water tanks providing ample water (@22,000 litres and 2 x @10,000 litres) and there is a near-new pump sending water to the home. The property is fully-fenced with wallaby-proof fencing around the perimeter. The home has a 23-panel solar setup generating electricity to the grid. The property is divided into 7 paddocks for horses or other animals. There are mature gardens throughout and excellent spaces for vegetable growing. The property has several outdoor entertaining areas and is completely private.<br/><br/>Truly, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a property that would cost a fortune to construct were you to attempt to replicate it today. The potential for tourism ventures are endless (distilling, brewing, accommodation, cafe, kennel) and the property can accommodate large trucks and machinery should that be your requirements. Alternatively, this is a great family home with room for you to grow into it and make it your own. Only 30 minutes to Burnie and 20 minutes to Ridgley's primary school, service station and supermarket.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Disclaimer:<br/>While Matt Kelly Property has taken every care to verify the accuracy of the details in this advertisement, we cannot guarantee its correctness.
